Olympic tickets on sale
Just when it seemed Winter Games tickets were all but sold out, another 200,000 became available. Some of the seats opened up when corporate sponsors or foreign Olympic committees didn't snap up their full entitlements. Organizers added other tickets after deciding seats would not be obscured by TV camera operators. Covering the range of winter sports, many of the tickets are for qualifying or preliminary rounds of competition for the February games. Buyers will find tickets for bobsled and luge, hockey, figure skating, short-track speed-skating, snow-boarding, ski jumping, curling, biathlon, and cross-country skiing. The tickets were to go on sale today.
