drowninginair Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I was able to get in about 20 mins in....lots of good events available. I can confirm that Men's Gold Medal Hockey tickets come up as available, but when I went to purchase, got a notice that they were in someone else's cart. Damn... Thats OK, I was still able to pick up: Figure Skating Gala Women's Gold Medal Curling Men's PGS Women's Gold Medal Hockey Waiting to get back in and maybe find one or two more.....

dcdc Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Finally got out of the waiting room at 11:45 pacific time (and I was waiting since it opened!). Picked a skiing event. Got into my account, and then all froze up, ended up eventually booting me back into the waiting room.. How frustrating is this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skscorpion Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Have been stuck in the waiting room since 10 am SK time. Accidentally closed one of my windows about 15 min ago -doh. Looks like figure skating, and short track/speed skating are all gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawnbc Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Been in the waiting room since before 10h00. Annoying...but the system is working; people are getting tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinPanda Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 On the 6th time in I was able to purchase 1 Closing Ceremony ticket and some Paralympic Alpine events. Went in a few minutes later to get some Victory Ceremony tickets. It's finally working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010fan Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Does anyone know if the [Ceremonies - 14 sessions] left includes the Opening Ceremony? What does "session" actually refer to? Thanks for your help. These questions might be in vain, since I've been in the waiting room for over 3.5 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeCee Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 A session refers to an individual event. For example, for the ceremonies, one session is the opening ceremony, one session is the closing ceremony, plus the victory ceremonies. The Opening Ceremony only seems to have B and A level tickets remaining. I was trying to get a D level ticket but was not able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to get a D level ticket but was not able to. Sorry about that blank post above. Thanks, GeeCee, for the info! I wish they would break down the Ceremonies category including the seat level. I thought perhaps the 14 sessions meant all of the Victory Ceremonies for the events, rather than the Opening or Closing. Of what's remaining, level A and B seats are pretty expensive!

2010fan Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I finally got into the site! When I searched for 2 best available Opening, only Seat Level A showed up. Now, the site has frozen... It's surprising to see how small the Level D section really is, compared to the large Section A. It's no wonder Level D is not available anymore.
