for 2010 winter olympic metal ceremony, vancouver:

• is making history by charging $22 for tickets, whereas no previous hosts have done so before (they were free)
• is planning “entertainment”, but you won’t know what you’re paying for until early next year;
• is enabling you to buy the tickets online, but you will have to wait in a “virtual” waiting room and can only purchase if you are randomly chosen by the system.

wow, not impressed.
