We just ended an Olympic summer but tickets are already on sale for the next Olympics, the
2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. A
company called CoSport is selling hospitality packages that include guaranteed access to tickets and hotels. Getting in early will cost you, the cheapest package for two people is $3,800 Canadian and you could pay far more depending on your choice of hotel, transportation and add-ons to round out your Olympic experience. Ordering a hospitality package gets you entrance to the events you want to see rather than going through a potential lottery process. Phase 1 of the individual ticket sales process began October 3 and ends November 7. Residents of Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Sweden, United States, countries within the European Union and European Economic Zone will be able to purchase tickets for use during the Games through CoSport but high demand events may fill up necessitating a random selection process. The 1300 packages however are first-come, first-serve. Jean-Paul Modde, the president of CoSport,
told the Canadian Press that sales are excellent so far and that they will sell out.

Olympic tickets and packages as far as I know are primarily sold through the Vancouver2010 web site and not third party companies.
I do not know if this company is a real provider and buyers should contact the real Olympic site to check.
For a true Luxist package, I believe there is an exclusive package of which 100 are available that goes for $285,000 which should be inquired about through the REAL Olympic web site for the 2010 Olympics. www.vancouver2010.com
Buy be very aware of this one. Luxist should check with the Olympic people to ensure this is not a scam.

Thanks Len. I should have clarified that this is for people outside of Canada to buy tickets and hospitality packages, Canadian citizens can purchase directly from Vancouver 2010. The Cosport website is not a scam and is linked off Vancouver 2010 which is also linked in the above article.
