Seems the tickets are going pretty fast. A lot of the hockey that doesn't involve Canada is actually selling~

Whoo hooo!!
Got prelim hockey tickets for USA v SUI and CZE v SLV, kinda bummed that I couldn't get tickets to snowboard-cross or moguls at Cypress though.

3 of my buddies have been working on this since 11 and I'm the only one who's got in so far.

2 hours in the waiting room now. Getting a bit old. It annoys me that I know people who have come after me are getting in!!

Row 2!

Tried for Opening Ceremony but only nosebleeds left, I'd rather watch on TV.
Lucky bastard. How much do you want for it?

I know some hardcore curling fans that wouldn't go if tickets were given to them, apparently curling is much better on TV.


BTW, I've been sitting in four waiting rooms for over two hours.
I guess now the best I can hope for is getting tickets to a Russia game. Of course I'll keep my eyes open for people selling gold medal tickets for an arm and possibly both legs.


Edit: never mind about the silver medal game, I was being dumb.

There is no such thing as a silver medal game. Anyways this is getting ridiculous, I've been waiting for 2 hours and nothing.

I'm afraid Gold Medal tickets may cost you something more dear than your limbs.

Geez how many people could possibly be left. They should take down the waiting rooms

During phase 2 it took me until 3:30 to get out of them, though

I just want to get into the opening ceremonies..

Is there a button or something you need to push to get out of the waiting room once you are selected or does it just take you to the ticketing website?

Got in again. I end up getting some Victory ceremony tickets. I wanted to attend a hockey game but my volunteer schedule is preventing me to do so.

You should've bought hockey tickets anyway, then you could give them to yours truly.
