Well, I tried.

Back on October 3rd, I feverishly scanned through all Olympic tickets and chose both primary and alternate tickets for a myriad of events. Hockey, speed skating and snowboarding for me while figure skating for my wife.

Lottery came and went a few days ago, and no tickets for us. Not even a single pair out of the thousands of $$$ worth of requested that I chose.

Next came this morning. Here I was at 9am, feverishly awaiting access to the “left over” or “could not pay for” tickets from the lottery process. Almost two hours of staring at a 30 second refresh screen before allowing me in, only to find virtually nothing left.

Needless to say, I was disheartened. But, alternately my wife and I are leaning towards Maui for 2 weeks come February 2010 :-) Can you imagine the local traffic then? Eeesh.
