How to get your 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Tickets in BC
If you've ever dreamed of watching an Olympic event live and in person, here's your chance. Between October 3 and November 7, 2008, Canadian residents can visit vancouver2010.com to request their choice of 2010 Olympic Winter Games tickets. Keep in mind, there's no rush for Canadians to submit their request on day one, as ticket requests issued early have no advantage over those put forward closer to November 7.
Oversubscribed events, such as the ice hockey finals or the Opening Ceremony, will be allocated via lottery giving everyone who applies an equal chance to take in the action. Closer to Games time, remaining tickets will be available at box offices, through a call centre as well as online. Paralympic Winter Games tickets go on sale May 6, 2009. The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) will also be offering an Olympic Experience Package – a convenient way to see a variety of events while taking into account timing for transportation and early arrival at venues.
More good news? 2010 Olympic Winter Games admission prices start at $25, with half of the tickets available for $100 or less. In addition, US and all other international spectators can purchase their tickets through their respective National Olympic Committees.
