Nope. Though with the wait times they should probably have that slot machine sound...

Arrrrrrgh!
I have never had good luck buying any type of ticket online. Jusk some hockey tickets is all I ask, even if it's Belarus v. Latvia.

PS. How much are the nightly medal ceremonies? and do you think it will be worth going?

The Victory Ceremonies are $25 a pop. They sound like a real snoozefest to me, though.

Still waiting..

You got tickets?

People are bound to give up soon, if they are reading the messages that update every 15 minutes saying what is sold out.

Well, I'd attribute that to curling fans being too old to know how to turn on a computer, so they are all calling the call center.

It sounds like having multiple tabs open for the waiting room might be ok - that there's only a problem once you get into the site.

I think the only thing that would happen is, if by the grace of God more than one of your tabs gets in, it will cancel out your other session.

Then you would have to do the ticket search again and risk losing your tickets.

I got those opening tickets within the first 5 mins. But i haven't been able to get anything else since, i just gave up...i really wanted the speed skating tickets for Wednesday, the 17th...or some Cypress event. Well, I actually had 2 tix to the moguls but they conflicted with 3 tickets i purchased for the victory ceremonies during phase 1.

I'll probably end up getting 1 or 2 more sessions through the ticket resale website.


My nosebleeds for the opening are actually some of the best nosebleeds.

I'm still in the waiting room.

The Charlie Brown analogy is apt. Every thirty seconds my hopes go up for a moment.

All I want really is opening ceremony tickets. Maybe another event just so I can say I saw an Olympic event. I'm hoping people get dejected soon and give up.
