After a short break it seems like ordinary mortals will again be able to purchase tickets for the upcoming Winter Games. According to the organizers TOROC "the break was necessary to allow seats to be assigned to people already holding tickets". Why you need to assign tickets to people already holding them, is a mystery to me. I'll presume this means distribution of tickets to sponsors, friends, families and pets etc. Anyway tickets are again availible through ordinary channels and the sale will hopefully continue uninterrupted until everything is sold out. Already over half a million has been sold so you better hurry if you want to see something particular, as demand is said to increase in the coming months. In total it is excpected that more than 1.5 million spectators will attend the upcoming events in Torino.

If you're abroad, you can order either from the the official website or if you're so lucky to be within the EU you can call +39 039 83 82 50. All tickets will be sent to buyers until 2 January 2006.
