If you’re sticking around Vancouver for the Games here’s how you can actually watch them.
Tickets for Vancouver’s 2010 Olympic Games were for sale on the internet just a few short hours after the people who won the lottery for the first round of tickets released were notified.
On Wednesday, the Vancouver Organizing Committee began sending out e-mails to the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who applied for Olympic tickets. Many of the seats at the popular final events were awarded by lottery.
By Wednesday evening, tickets to the gold medal hockey game were being offered on Craigslist for $2,500 each. On eBay.ca, opening ceremony tickets were going for $2,000 a piece.
