Canadians ready for "experience of a lifetime" at 2010 Winter Games
Vancouver, BC – The Vancouver
Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter
Games (VANOC) announced today that it will share the details of its
Olympic Games ticket program on Thursday, October 11. Three in four
Canadians believe that attending the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver
would be “the experience of a lifetime,”
according to a study commissioned by VANOC earlier this year.
The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games are perceived to be the
premier event ticket for Canadians, scoring the highest of all
major sport and entertainment events tested, including the Stanley
Cup Finals and the Super Bowl, in terms of overall experience.
VANOC’s March 23, 2007 press release regarding the
study is available in the media centre at vancouver2010.com.
“The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games are a global
event and will be an experience of a lifetime for everyone who
attends,” said Dave Cobb, VANOC Executive Vice
President, Revenue, Marketing and Communications.
“It’s been our goal since day one to
develop a fair, affordable and accessible Olympic ticketing program
and we look forward to sharing the details of the plan this week
with Canadians and potential spectators from around the
world.”
VANOC’s announcement on Thursday, October 11 will
include the on-sale date for tickets to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic
Winter Games, how and where the public can access tickets, the
pricing of the tickets to each event and a flavour of what the
public can expect to experience when they attend Vancouver 2010
events.
VANOC is responsible for the planning, organizing, financing and
staging of the XXI Olympic Winter Games and the X Paralympic Winter
Games in 2010. The 2010 Olympic Winter Games will be staged in
Vancouver and Whistler from February 12 to 28, 2010. Vancouver and
Whistler will host the Paralympic Winter Games from March 12 to 21,
2010.
