p2pnet news view Games | P2P:-Vancouver Olympics tickets are up for sale online.

Or they will be.

We live on Vancouver Island, 1.5 hours by ferry from the mainland, and our daughter, Emma, has been bugging us about tickets for months.

What could be easier? Register now and be sure of tickets.

So I did. But the site wouldn’t let me log on.

Is it because I’m on Firefox? – I asked myself. A lot of people and organisations still think Internet Explorer is the only game in town.

But No. I couldn’t log on via IE either.

Maybe I’ll have better luck tomorrow, but in the meanwhile, tickets officially went on sale today for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games.

About two million tickets will be available with 400,000 going for $25, and more than half of all tickets available priced at $100 or less.

To buy tickets online, register an account at Vancouver2010.com.

And keep your fingers crossed.

You’ll learn if you were successful late November or early December.
