what fucking bullshit, that wasnt "first come first serve" i got in the waiting room pretty much the second it opened, and waited 45 minutes and got -nothing-
then when i just checked again it had me at the selection part, but it wouldnt let me login, and once i did im back in the waiting room..

it wasn't first come first serve, it's a random draw from the waiting room. they said that weeks ago.
people are still getting tickets at noon? I thought they'd all be gone by 10:00:07. I didn't even bother trying. I probably should have though.

I probably should have though. | ive read every email update up until yesterday and every single one said it was a "first come first serve basis" but it obviously was random once u got in the waiting room
fucking BS that i was obviously one of the first yet i still didnt even get to login after 45 minutes..

fucking BS that i was obviously one of the first yet i still didnt even get to login after 45 minutes.. | Every update I received said you would be put in a waiting room, randomly selected and then its first come first serve. Still had to be lucky enough to get in.
I had 10 windows open all in waiting rooms and it took 1hr 2mins to get in.
You just timed out when you finally got in... which sucks.

Stop complaining, random is more fair.

I got in after about 45 mins and picked up 8 more tickets. There was surprisingly a lot still available, yet no Canada games (although CAN-SUI was showing tickets available, yet I couldn't even get a single seat). I was disappointed that figure skating was completely sold out (except ice dance), and that opening ceremony tickets are soooo expensive. Snowboarding mens half-pipe was sold out too.
I now have 14 pairs of tickets to Olympic hockey including:
- all 3 Russia prelim games
- one USA game
- semi-final game (fucking $425/each, ouch)
I plan on selling the rest back to Vanoc or anyone interested. Unfortunately I have 4 tickets to GER-BUR and 2 to NOR-SUI, dunno who will want these.
Picked up tickets to figure skating (ice dance) for my GF, $1700 for 4 tickets since most of the stadium is $420 tickets.  | |
