Anticipation. The business owners aren't living in a bubble where they have no idea that the Olympics are coming.
Prices are likely being adjusted a bit early to avoid possible disruptions (any unforeseen issues with the business software, locals like the ones in this thread getting pissed off, etc.) during an extremely busy period. Not to mention that there's a fair amount of people here for the Olympics already.
