There's an Olympic thread on its fifth page discussing tickets + venues... was it really necessary to make another thread for this?

^^ People will pay stupid amounts for hockey. I don't know why the gold medal one is so much. I'm going to a prelim and it sure doesn't cost $5000. Pretty much half the players on every team are from the NHL anyways. Same shiet, different pile. 
Hitting up Snowboarding too on Cypress, and a couple of the lame Victory ceremonies if my buddy can't sell the tix.

saying this is just the NHL on a different day is retarded. Posted via RS Mobile | |

^ But that's the point I'm making. You're paying a ton to *hope* Canada makes it (and I hope they do). Imagine you spent $5k and it turns out the game is Belarus vs. Sweden. Meanwhile you could've watched Canada play earlier on for like $400 or whatever.
Props to whoever's willing to fork over that much dough though.

^ Nice to see you're hard at work as usual Mugen.
And yes, the Opening Ceremonies thing is retarded. Watching a bunch of volunteers dance around for 10 grand?  One can buy a 65" plasma, Hi-fi system and watch at home, food and drinks in, for less. I understand it's "once in a lifetime" (more like once in an eternity) but still..

^^ Actually that's a good question. I'm not sure.. the cheap kind?
I admit though, I also don't like spending $$$ to go to concerts in general. (being shorter than 80% of the crowd doesn't help )
imo most live events are way overrated.
