YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is thank goodness I have 7 years to save up... its going to cost me a FORTUNE!

Congrats sk8tngcanuck ... how wonderful for Canada!!!
I know the Canadians will put on a great show!!!

[Lcp88]

That'll be great for all the Canadian and American Skaters since its so close. Anyone have a link with ticket info/prices?

sk8ingcanuck - Great news and a great city!

If one save's a dollar a day; that's $365 x 7 years that's #2555. That should be enough for all ticket figure skating. But there is tranportation and hotel expenses and food and drink bills.

It's a lot to think about, but worth it because it'll be a one-time thing to remember.

I might save up for this one too. I've aways said I will go, at some point, to the Olympics. I think Vancouver will play a great host to the games. Darn good thing they won, too - Salzburg was the major competition from what I read, and
Saltzburg's theme was The Sound of Winter Sports. Ugh. I get it, but yeeeaaaach!

Great news for Canada! Vancouver should be great!! I will be veeeeery tempted to go since I live in Seattle (thought I might have to take the suggestion of saving $1/day!!). They had the 2001 Worlds at GM Place and it was FANTASTIC!! I wonder if they will have the skating there again or opt for a larger arena.

LAD--isn't this in your backyard??

YIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm going to the Olympics. Its clear across the country, but thats close enough for me!

[KwanFan1212]

Sounds like its time for a road trip.......gotta start saving now! LOL :lol:

Congratulations to Canada and I can't wait to see what you all have up your sleeves for the Olys 2010!! :D

My experience in trying to get SLC tickets proved futile. My advice to all those contemplating going to secure tickets at the first moment they go on sale. Don't count on the best seats. they are already taken up by VIPs.

So keep an eye on the opening sale of tickets. If you can't make it I am sure the ticket(s) will be easy to resell.

Oh, yes... Check out the Tours. A bit more expensive but pretty much a decent seat and hotel room.

Woohoo! I'll have just turned 24 when 2010 rolls around, so maybe I could go since our family's plans for SLC were messed up. :D

[Grgranny]

Since I will be 80 then, guess I better not count on it. Boy, that seems really old to me. Probably worse to you. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\">

Bleuchick - looking forward to experiencing what she missed in Vancouver(worlds 2001).

<span style="color:blue;font-family:comic sans ms;font-size:small;">Hmmm... I will be 49--I find that hard to say. E. (aka RG Jr.) will be 15 1/2. I find that just as hard to say. Vancouver might work out very well for us if we can get tickets.</span>

[rachelstarlet]

Yay for Vancouver! I'm so excited. I live in Seattle but who knows where I'll be then (I'll have just turned 25), hopefully close enough to at least roam around the city hoping to spot athletes. I dunno how I'll have enough $$$ to pay for tickets, since I'll be knee-deep in school loans by then. Maybe I can get a volunteering gig!!! Anyone know any info about that?
