After talking to some people who had cyprus tickets for the early events they thought it was the most misrible experience ever except for the medals. So yes VANOC should have planned better but given the situation they might have made a bad situation better.

This may be the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. Absolutely hilarious.
VANOC chose to eat a few million dollars? That was a choice they wanted to make? Let's see, what's worse press, cancelling thousands of tickets which is a large public statement, or having people stand around in the cold so they can later moan anonymously on the internet. Which of those attracts more press attention? Which of those does more damage to VANOC's bottomline?
Also convenient of you to ignore the fact that people who were at Cyrpess saw large holes in the now closed spectator area, no safety concern at all
