In Vancouver is was quite easy to get tickets for events for the Olympics. The tickets that did not go to atheltes and associations were lotteried which gives the public a much greater chance at tickets than the ticket master bot system. Outside of Men’s hockey is was quite easy to get tickets through the lottery and the secondary market for non-premium events wasn’t terrible either.
If you want to go to figure skating long programs and Canada hockey games or the opening and closing ceremonies expect it to be tough to get seats. If you want to see biathlon or cross country skiing or ski cross or short track speed skating or curling or women’s hockey there will be plenty of tickets available.
