By calling 1-800-TICKETS or logging on to the Olympic Web site, there are still opportunities to purchase prime tickets for the 2002 Winter Games. Fans who already hold some tickets could purchase more starting yesterday. Newcomers will get their chance tomorrow.
The new batch of 36,000 tickets was made possible by the release of seats held in reserve for logistical reasons or for foreign Olympic committees.
Salt Lake organizers are also breaking down five-ticket packages, offering two-ticket deals instead.
All giant slalom and snowboarding events at Park City have sold out, but tickets remain for other alpine events, including the men’s downhill.
Other tickets are available for figure skating, hockey, freestyle aerials, moguls, speedskating, bobsled and luge.
Tickets to the most popular events, including figure skating, hockey and aerials, are being offered only as part of a package of two events.
But its possible to buy individual tickets for 141 events, including the opening ceremony, some figure and speed skating, hockey semifinals and bobsled.
Salt Lake tickets range from $20 for cross-county skiing to $885 for the opening ceremony. Many tickets to popular events go for hundreds of dollars.
