Faster Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I sold a ticket for 3x the ticket value and almost immediately I noticed it was posted for 6x face value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowninginair Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I've been able to do pretty well on the resale site. Some tickets I've made more than facevalue for, and some I've just tried to get rid of. Its all about supply and demand really...if there is an event with 170 listings (Like USA-NOR for Men's Hockey), you're probably not going to get more than the minimum. I've been able to sell: Day 4 - Women's SWE-SVK - 2 Tickets - Face $50, Sold $50 Day 5 - Men's USA-SUI - 4 Tickets - Face $150, Sold $180 Day 7 - Men's USA-NOR - 4 Tickets - Face $150, Sold $150 Day 10 - Men's RUS-CZE - 8 Tickets - Face $150, Sold 4 @ $150, 4 at $180 Day 11 - Men's Prelim Curling - 4 Tickets - Face $73, Sold $75 Day 15 - Women's Gold Medal Curling - 2 Tickets - Face $135, Sold $200 Day 16 - Figure Skating Gala - 1 Ticket - Face $185, Sold $450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chateau Petrus Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm surprised there's not lot of intervention in this thread. Nobody go check the VANOC resale site ? There's lot of nice deals. (they are sold fast, you have to go often) I saw yesterday some Bobsleigh Final tickets offered at half price of the face value. Today I sold one of my extra Canada-Switzerland Men's Hockey, one of my extra Sweden-Finland Men's Hockey and one my extra Speed Skating. I just put two more on sale tonight, Belarus-Sweden Men's Hockey and Finland-Germany Men's Hockey, both at cost price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I think the fact that it is only open to Canadians to sell stuff means most of us here don't care. CoSport did well with international allocations this time around - though I dread to think what they will charge for London. For instance my A reserve hockey ticket buying through VANOC is $110 - through CoSport it was $300+. Utter bullshit. There is NO justifying those mark ups.

Chateau Petrus Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I think the fact that it is only open to Canadians to sell stuff means most of us here don't care. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the resale option (call Fan to Fan) is available for international visitors. Maybe you are not able to sell your tickets but you will be able to buy some (and pick the ticket after at the ticket main office downtown on Robson St.) You have to go on the VANOC site, tickets, and Register a new account.

You just have to show an ID with picture... and this morning i show my french passport... and got my ticket... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 You cant sell on there though - CoSport wont allow it. I dont need to but anymore tickets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're ritgh my comment was only about to purchase ticket. You can't send your ticket bought abroad are they are not in your VANOC account but on the one from CoSport for exemple.

jawnbc Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm glad you folks reminded me to check the resale tickets: scored a good seat for the women's board cross final for only $35 above face value! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicFan2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Well I'm in the US and Cosport's website still says 'Mid January' for resale....but its almost the end of January now! Does anyone know when Cosport will sell their remaining tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I spoke to CoSport in Sydney - they said the end of this week. Who knows for sure though. So basically all international parties will have to wait to the very last minute for any access to Victory Ceremony tickets etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chateau Petrus Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Sold 28 of my extras tickets allready I just put in sale my two last ones FR006 cat A at cost price Funny to see that there's lots of cat B offered at higher price than mine. I hope London2012 will think to have a similar resale system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I just bought a speed skating ticket that was reasonably priced. It was about half the price of a category B ticket that was the next cheapest and this was a cat A ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costa79 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I was able to buy tickets at face value for Alpine Skiing (Men's Super-G), which I was pretty amazed at considering other tickets for the same event were going at three times (or more) over face value. I've been able to sell a couple of the Victory Ceremony tickets I had but won't be able to use (at face value), as well as Ladies Aerials Qualifications at a bit over face value (but still about half of what most people have it up there for). I can't believe how much the Men's Halfpipe tickets are going for (so many were in the $1000 range the last time I checked). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chateau Petrus Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) I was able to buy tickets at face value for Alpine Skiing (Men's Super-G), which I was pretty amazed at considering other tickets for the same event were going at three times (or more) over face value. Big majority of the tickets I sold were at face value. The highest price I asked was for a Long Track Speed Skating category A at 400$ (I paid 188$, and I will received 360$ for it) while the cheapest one offered for that same event was at 1000$. My ticket was sold in few hours (and the one at 1000$ is still for sale) Edited February 5, 2010 by Chateau Petrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobiesnacks Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Do you think people are buying at these prices? Mens Half Pipe - cheapest B ticket $865! (1 ticket) Pairs Free programme $676! (1 ticket) In contrast Mens Ice Hockey SF1 seems cheap at $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 No, I think people are doing what me and Jawn and others have done. Look back every now and again and snap up reasonable tickets when we find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chateau Petrus Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 What do you think the chances are of getting a mens half pipe final? Sold my Women's Half Pipe Final category A for 200$ My offer stay one day before getting a buyer. If I had a Men's ticket to sell, my price would be also 200$ There's people on the resale system who are there trying to make a lot of money, and others like me who just want to get rid of their extra tickets. The trick is to go check often, the good deal never stay long. (and the bad will maybe never find a buyer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and the bad will maybe never find a buyer) I picked up a ticket for the USA-Switzerland hockey pool play game on Tuesday the 16th for CDN 135 plus fees. Given that everything else I've looked for that day is north of CDN 200, not a bad rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
