I figured it's high time for a thread on these. LOL.
Is anyone planning on going? I am going to enter the US lottery to try to get tickets, but I'm not sure how my chances will be. I know that Canadian people get a lot of the seats - understandably so. I'm just guessing it'll be the closest Olympics to me in a while (2012 - London, 2014 - Sochi, Russia, and 2016, soon to be announced).
FYI, the ticket lottery for Canadian citizens begins in October. You can sign up for ticket info emails here:

Citizens of other countries have to sign up via approved national vendors of the tickets. For the US, you have to go through CoSport. The link to sign up for ticket info for US citizens is here:

The crazy thing is that I understand basically all the hotel rooms are already gone, booked by vendors, so you almost have to purchase a vacation package that includes the tickets and accommodations. I am so worried it's going to be crazy expensive, but I'm going to start saving now.
I am still angry at my parents for refusing to take me to the Atlantic Olympics because they didn't want to deal with the crowds. I was in middle school and wanted to go SO bad - and I grew up only six hours away from Atlanta. BOOOOOOO.
The other problem is that I seriously doubt I'll get the tickets I'd really like to get for the Vancouver games. I really would like figure skating, or either genre of speed skating. And preferably either the opening or closing ceremonies as well. But those are all pretty popular events. Maybe speed skating less so though? Although bobsled/luge/skeleton are close runners-up. But I guess I'd pretty much take what I could get. And I might have to rule out the opening/closing ceremonies because they're ridiculously expensive and I'll be traveling with another adult and a child more than likely.
Anyone else going to try to go?
