Default 2010 Vancouver Tickets go on sale in 365 days

$1150 top price for a ticket in BC Place for the Opening ceremony, $775 for a top ticket to the Gold Medal mens hockey.

Steep, but, given the demand, probably priced fairly accurate to those conditions.

Digging up an old peliminary round game (my dad took us to two games) in 1988, the ticket price was $25, now they're $80 it appears for mid range tickets.

Also we took in Bobsleigh back in then, I think it was $10 for a basic ticket.

Over 2 years away, but looking forward to heading out there for a weekend and take in the festivities and maybe a basic event or two. With the inlaws living on the island, the biggest hurdle of accomodation is solved, although just as daunting will be the traffic snarls from Horseshoe Bay to any and all of the venues.

Almost 20 years since the last Olympics here, wished I was a bit older than 12 at the time, but, its probably likely that it will be another 20+ years before Canada gets a sniff at the Olympics, and probably not a hour hop on the plane like it will be in '10.
