STOKED FOR THE 2010 OLYMPICS IN VANCOUVER! PLUS A TICKET GIVEAWAY!
I am excited and proud to welcome the world to Vancouver and Whistler for the 2010 Olympics. It’s a truly magical time, as people come from all over the world, from all over our country and as Vancouverites come together to celebrate sports and the city.
For all the bad press that the Olympics has received recently and even since the bid, I still think that this is an amazing opportunity for our city and I think it’s going to do for us what Expo ’86 did. Although I have heard grumbling, the majority of the people I talk to wear broad smiles on their faces when they mention the Olympics. I can sense it’s starting to reach a fever pitch as people snap up tickets, make plans for parties and start to wear festive Olympic merchandise.
Myself, I could NOT be more excited about the Games. Although I did not get any tickets in any of the lotteries, I have purchased a number of tickets because I really feel that this is a once in a lifetime experience, and I don’t think I will ever get to experience an international event, or any Olympics for that matter as I can in my own home city. So, buckle your seat belts… here we go, it’s coming and it’s going to be AWESOME! Many of you have asked me what my plans are for the Olympics and so I thought I’d lay out our itinerary so far…
Thursday, February 11th: We have our dinner reservations at the Holland Heineken House and we’ll be checking out the venue and partying afterwards!
Sunday, February 14th: Attending the Valentine’s Day event at the House of Switzerland. Unfortunately we couldn’t make the media event for this Friday’s grand opening (definitely go see it if you can!), so we got our media passes for Valentine’s Day instead, and it’s going to be a sweet (har har) day of chocolate tasting, Lindt, chocolate competitions and more!
Tuesday, February 16th: We are watching the Canadian Men’s Hockey team play Norway at Canada Hockey Place (GM Place). We got pretty decent seats in the lower bowl so hopefully we’ll be able to see some great hits and the players up close and personal. I am most excited about this game… I didn’t want to let the Olympics pass me by without seeing our men play for our country! I’m pretty much frothing at the mouth to go and cheer on Luongo, Crosby, and our boys.
Wednesday, February 17th: We’ll be watching the Canadian Women’s Hockey team play Sweden at UBC Thunderbird Arena! Wohooo! We managed to score Row 1 tickets Centre Ice in the lower bowl, so we will be right beside the player’s bench. I’m extremely stoked to see the women play. This was Allan’s Valentine’s Day present… I mean, what red blooded male wouldn’t want to see the Canadian Women play the Swedish Women right? 
Monday, February 22nd: We’ll be watching the CAN-USA Men’s Curling game (among other countries) with a couple of friends, and then we will be heading over to the Molson Canada Hockey House to watch the Canadian Women’s Semifinals, checking out the Triple Gold Club Celebration and partying it up all night.
Wohooo! And we’ll be all decked out in our Olympic gear for sure. And now for the contest…
2010 VANCOUVER OLYMPICS TICKET GIVEAWAY AND CONTEST
What you are playing for: 2 tickets to the Men’s Canada-USA Curling game on Monday, February 22nd from 9 AM to noon (same one we are going to).

Ohhh. this would be such fun. Great contest although I would be equally happy with the Eh! t-shirt..okay maybe not equally but still.
February 5th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
Oh sweet prize indeed. I alas don’t have any tickets, I don’t have any media passes to pavillions (wasn’t asked..sigh), I wasn’t chosen as a volunteer and I was declined to participate in the Opening/Closing Ceremonies. But I do have dress rehersal tickets to the opening ceremonies which I’m excited about. I will be attending LiveCity as regular person and just being around the city during this time will be exciting.
Go Canada!
February 5th, 2010 at 12:25 pm
Lovin the patriotism! Count me in for the contest!
February 5th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
Cool Gear! Go Canada Go!

I have to work that day, but can I enter for my brothers?!??!
I entered a raffle at my work, but I didn’t win any either.
Some friends did. They were giving Opening & Closing Ceremony tickets too! I really wanted speed skating as I have a wee crush on Apolo Anton Ohno. 
February 5th, 2010 at 3:01 pm

February 6th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
Wow this is so cool.
Please pick me – a has-been amateur curler from Winnipeg.
February 7th, 2010 at 9:28 am
I love that you are positive and full of energy about the games (enough negativity people!). I too am super excited about the games partly b/c I love sports and partly b/c my family happened to get moved from Calgary to Van. in 1987, one year shy of the Olympics we were planning on seeing. Count me in on the ticket giveaway. So excited for next Friday…5 more sleeps
February 7th, 2010 at 9:54 am
Would love to see this Olympic event, and get to meet you as well Allie!
February 7th, 2010 at 11:35 am
I like VANOC’s ticket design. Simple, yet effective! Have a good time at the games!
February 7th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Those are some awesome tickets, we’re coming into Vancouver from lonely flat Ontario for the Olympics and so far only have tickets to see Trooper and Loverboy, so this would REALLY make the trip.
To make things better I’m half Canadian and half American so I’ll wear some very awesome Canada-US outfit to be booed by both sides of the stadium.
February 7th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Hi there! My sister-in-law who is a blogger on FiveBlondes.com follows your blog and recommend I check out the Olympics contest! My hubby and I are actually heading there from February 18-22nd and don’t have one ticket to a single event! Crazy I know! The idea was planted when he was working for one of the sponsors and thought he could score tickets. Unfortunately his positive thinking did not pay off as he was laid off on December 23rd! So any connections to tickets were lost. We are still going to go and have a good time being in Vancouver but would love to go to an event! Hopefully you will pick us! Thanks for the opportunity!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:30 am
I’m going to be on the opposite side of the world, but my mum would DIE getting to see Canada curl! That would be awesome!
I can’t WAIT for your post about the Canada v. Norway hockey! That is going to be an incredible experience, Allie! Have a BLAST!
February 8th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
My husband is Candian and I am American and we are going up to the Olympics to see some hockey & ski jump. We love Canada and all our kids have passports to come visit. Would love to see another venue! Thanks for listening!! We are very excited and always have a good time in Canada
February 8th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
i would love this so, so, so much
it would be about time luck works with me.. instead of against me
i just got nailed by a car a few weeks ago and i’m off work!
goodluck everybody!
February 8th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
would soooooooooooo love to go!!!!!! you would make my wish come true!!!!! pick me, pick me!!!!:)
February 8th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
Very cool contest. Thanks!!
Have a great time at the Canada vs Norway game and at the Canada vs Sweden game, GO CANADA GO.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:53 pm
That is so awesome Allie what you are doing! If given the chance, I would love to take my 13yr old daughter. It would be a once in a lifetime opportunity for her that I know that she would really appreciate. I would love for her to have this experience to talk about with her friends and family for many years.We did not get any tickets to any events, but still take advantage of all the wonderful free things to do in and around Vancouver. Vancouver is a wonderful, beautiful place and my family and I cannot wait until the games start. You can already feel the excitement in the air.

February 8th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Yes please!!
February 8th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
I think you are an awesome ambassador to our beautiful province and I love your blogs. You would have been an much better choice to run with the torch than many of them that were given the honor. I hope that you choose someone deserving to win the tickets. Have a great time at the games, hopefully I’ll meet you someday.
February 8th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
This is my one attempt to learn how to curl.

Hi! Only a couple more days ’til the Olympics! The buzz in Vancouver is amazing and I love that I live here and can be around for this once in a lifetime opportunity. I saw your discussion topic on the 2010 Olympic page on facebook and I’m happy I did ’cause as a Vancouver girl in her late 20s it’s nice to see your blog. I’ll definetly keep checking in. Thanks for considering me for the tickets! Go Canada Go!

February 8th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Hey Allie, As a Brit that moved to Vancouver 2 years ago for the simple reason that we love it, I am so proud that my new home town is hosting this huge event. Am loving the Cioppinos bit of your itinerary. We are going there on Friday night and on Wednesday we have managed to get tickets for the dress rehearsal for the opening ceremony. Would love to surprise my husband on Thurs (his birthday) with some tickets to a real sporting event……..and I am allowed to say Go Canada Go.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Woo hoo! Sign me up Allie!
February 8th, 2010 at 10:48 pm

Great blog!
Would like to enter the contest. Coming from ON to see CAN vs US on the 21st..so 22nd sounds perfect
February 9th, 2010 at 3:06 am
We’re going on a two-week road trip from California to Vancouver to soak in the Olympics and we’ve never been to a live curling event! Any sport that involves people yelling “HARD!!!” is good in our book.
February 9th, 2010 at 5:18 am
Very interesting blog. Thanks for the contest. Added you on Twitter on as well.
February 9th, 2010 at 8:44 am
Thanks for doing this…Go Canada Go!

I wasn’t sure I’d be in town for the Olympics so I didn’t get any tickets, but now I’m all bitter pants that I’m here and won’t get to see anything. Winning curling tickets would be so awesome, especially since my curling league is moving into that rink next year.
February 10th, 2010 at 11:44 am
