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.
