If it is like Vancouver tickets will be sold before both the schedule and NHL participation is finalized.
The ticket lottery deadline was Nov 7 2008 for the 2010 games.
NHL participation will only impact Scalper resale prices which could indirectly affect the number of lottery entries but since Men's hockey is so over subscribed anyways it won't matter.
The bigger disappointment would be losing curling to somewhere else in Alberta as that in Vancouver was a low cost way for locals to get to go to an event. Tickets were $20 each and seating was between 3-5000 for 36 draws and now adding another 18 for mixed doubles and that is 150,000 to 250,000 tickets that are lost.
