I think that the organizers in Torino 2006 will be disappointed by this number, at least they've been heavily critisised lately for missing the bus on marketing the event early enough. 650.000 tickets are sold less than a month before ski-off and the most requested tickets are for alpine, ice hockey, and skating.
200.000 tickets have been sold in Italy, mostly naturally in the Olympic home region of Piemonte and the neighbouring region Lombardia and Milano, followed by the rest of Northern Italy. About 400.000 tickets have been sold abroad, and here the most eager purchasers of tickets have come from USA, France, Germany, Holland, Norway, Switzerland, Japan and UK. All in all enthusiasts from 42 countries have purchased tickets for the Torino 2006 games.
