2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics

[PulverSchwein]

the buzz is starting to build for the opening ceremonies next Friday. Lots of people getting stoked. Lots just out there gettin' high.

Myself I scored some sweet ticket packages - men's moguls, skiercross, men's hockey semifinals and a few other cool events. Going to make the best of the opportunity to see the highest level of some of my favorite sports in my own backyard.

so who's going? who wants a free house? who's getting the hell out?

[kevin267]

I'm popping over for 3-4 days, going to mens hockey Canada-Switzerland, then checking out all these free concerts and german beer gardens, then getting back to the island. I like being in victoria, so close yet so far

[bennymac]

Thanks, didn't know about the German beer gardens, will have to check that out.

Anyone else have any suggestions for potentially cool places to go in the city when not at an event? I think there is supposed to be a Maritimer House on Granville, beer should be flowing there I would think. Is there some place I can go stare at Scandinavian women?

The free concert line up is pretty solid, way better than the Vancouver Victory ceremony shows. Damian Jr Gong Marley on Feb 24 in Yaletown promises to be a smokey event.

Stuff We All Get ?

[Professor Chaos]

I was supposed to be in the Koots for these two weeks but plans fell through.

Now Ill be trapped, downtown, in this shit-storm/gong-show/massive orgy that is the Olympic games.

Tried getting tickets for a few events at Cypress, but backed down when I saw the prices + the rules and regulations theyre imposing at events.

[Arno]

i'm over for teh second week - seeing the Men's Super-G, Womens Skier X and Aerials; 4 man bobsled and something Nordic. Hoping to squeeze a bit of skiing in

My brother in law has tix for the hockey finals the lucky little bastide

[sftc]

Sounds like tickets are gonna be available all around. Thinking about getting to Seattle, driving from there and just winging it. NPG you in?

[ak_powder_monkey]

I'd love to watch XC skiing, but nobody I know very well is in it

[t.odd]

skeleton, have to watch my boy jon montgomery win the gold!

[wicked_sick]

I might wing it for a weekend.

Not really down with the forecasted security wait times at event venues so I'd just be down there taking in the atmosphere.

[DyingToLiveToSki]

Mustang Catskiing 13th-17th, Kootenay Pass touring then Goat Range Sledskiing 18th-21st...

Taking in the atmosphere week 2.

[Egon]

it depends, anyone have some tickets they need to unload?

[SKIORFORGETIT]

might go to Whistler during the last few days of the Olympics, but don't have tix to any events

[TeCeBe]

I am stoked.

Womens Downhill
Mens Super G

Looking for some sliding events if anybody wants to unload at face value.

Right here in the eye of the shiticane, Whistler, BC.

thanks personal friends for all telling me your plans for the next two weeks. i'm so excited to hear that some people hate the olympics, want to see the olympics, and some would rather get out of town.

i'm shocked at the complexity of responses

[LeeLau]

Heineken House looks like fun

Lots of free venues

Week 1 - Whistler/Duffy - Opening Ceremonies ski jumping; biathlon events.

[grrrr]

I'm in for the Men's Super-G and Women's hockey USA vs. Finland. I have 2 extra tickets to the hockey game, available for cost.

[SILENCER]

I'm there week one, staying in Vancouver.

Nordic Combined
Speed Skating
Biathlon
Two man luge (!)

Might try to pick up something else while there. In Salt Lake there were lots of unsold, and always scalpers at every event.

Gonna be freakin' rad. Love the Games.

[grrrr]

If anyone wants any other hockey tickets, one of my neighbors went to town, and is selling. Lots of prelims and finals including the bronze and gold.

[srsosbso]

Your neighbour has tickets to the hockey final? Men's? How many tickets? How much is he selling them for? What kind of seats? PM me asap.

[grrrr]

Just checked, men's gold gone. Men's bronze and women's gold available.
