Whether it’s powdered snow or slick ice that gets your heart racing, Canadian fans looking to live the Olympic dream will be able to purchase individual tickets for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games from CoSport, starting on February 11th, 2013. Individual tickets will join the Sochi 2014 packages for sale starting at noon (EST) and will be available on a first come, first serve basis from CoSport, the official and exclusive ticket distributor for the Canadian Olympic Team.
“Demand is strong now, and we expect it to build throughout the year as availability becomes scarce,” said Robert Long, president of CoSport. “There are plenty of options to choose from today, but the best tickets to the best events will go fast -– as will availability in the most sought-after hotels.” The results of CoSport’s Expression of Interest phase indicated strong interest across all the seven countries in which the company will be selling individual tickets and packages.
