Because of the slow sales of tickets for this year's Olympics, there are reports that the organizers have started to reduce prices on some tickets. (I haven't managed to confirm this yet) Because the sad fact remains: there are still over 300.000 unsold tickets for Torino 2006! Of course the most popular events are starting to fill up, so here is a preliminary list of what's left:

There are still around 180.000 tickets left with a price tag between 20 and 40 Euros, and other 150.000 in the high end class with prices between 50 and 100 Euros.It's recommended to hurry and buy tickets especially for speed skating, ski jump, figure skating, alpine, quarter and semi final of hockey for men, where the availability is only limited to a few hundred for each dicipline. Of the 177 events on the Olympic programme there are some that obviously haven't been that popular among the Torino sports crowd.

These are:
- 14 February, figure skating, short program, men 2000 tickets.
- 15 February, downhill, ladies, 2400 tickets
- 16 Feb, figure skating, free skating, men, 1000 tickets
- 16 Feb, snowboard cross, men, 2000 tickets.
- 17 Feb, snowboard cross, men, 2000 tickets.
- 18 Feb, short track, finale 1500m ladies and 1000m men, 1500 tickets
- 18 Feb, ice hockey men, Czech Rep vs Finland, 4000 tickets
- 19 Feb, ice hockey, men, Italy vs Czech Rep, 2400 tickets.
Also there are still tickets available for the 30 curling sessions and in total 15.000 tickets for the 12 speed skating sessions.
