Jaunted Winter Olympics Embed: Making New Friends In The Ticket Line-Ups

The 2010 Winter Olympics are finally here and the Jaunted Embeds are on the scene. All throughout the games we are going to be providing you first-hand observations and tips from a Vancouver local. Tuija Seipell is a Vancouver-based writer and a dual citizen of both Finland and Canada--so she is bound to get a medal or two right? You can follow her on Twitter here, or just follow the Vancouver 2010 Olympics tag.

If you have general admission standing-room tickets for Cypress mountain events, those tickets have now been cancelled due to heavy rain. Apparently, full refunds will be issued. The events themselves are not cancelled, neither are any other tickets for those events except the general admission standing-room tickets.

I’m disappointed, as I had standing-room tickets for Women’s Parallel Giant Slalom. That was to be my only Cypress Mountain event. To see if your events have been cancelled or moved around go to the official Vancouver 2010 site.

On a practical note, don’t despair if you see a long line-up. Sometimes they move really fast, or if you can come back at another time, it may be easier to get in.
