|
And four tickets for the opening ceremony on February 12th are being offered at €22.000 - from a face value of €5.000 on the site. British Olympic News site Morethanthegames.co.uk noted: "We know that well over 90 per cent of Canadian ticket account holders plan to use all their tickets for the Games but a secondary market will exist where people will want to buy, sell and donate tickets," said Vanoc's vice president for ticketing Caley Denton. "The fan-to-fan marketplace will be the safest and most secure way for Games' fans in Canada and worldwide to purchase Vancouver 2010 tickets from fellow fans in Canada as we guarantee the tickets purchased through our fan-to-fan marketplace have valid bar codes and are legitimate. "In the first few days initial prices will likely be high as people test to see what the fan-to-fan marketplace will bear. We encourage people to check back often as the lowest priced tickets usually sell quickly."
