Didn't see a thread on this yet but is anyone going to be purchasing tickets?
I know you can start putting in your
ticket application next week and then sometime in November you'll be contacted to let you know which ones you won in the lottery.

Phase 1
October 3-November 7, 2008: Request Period - Visit vancouver2010.com to build and submit your ticket request anytime during this five-week window.
November 8-November 23, 2008: Lottery Period- Where ticket demand exceeds the available supply, an automated, random selection process (lottery) will ensure the fairest possible ticket distribution.
By December 5: Notification period- All applicants will be notified by e-mail regarding the status of their ticket request and which sessions and/or packages they may have secured.
December 8-22: Priority access period
Remaining tickets will be re-released on a first-come, first-served basis exclusively to those who submitted a request during the Request Period.

FYI, here's the
ticket prices by sport.
I'll definitely be trying to get the men's gold medal hockey game (only $775 a ticket for prime seating) and probably else anything I can get my hands on. Thank goodness for lines of credit and visa cards
