<p>The organizing committee made more than 200,000 tickets available Saturday after reviewing venue seating plans.</p><p>More
than 22,000 orders for 130,000 tickets were processed in the first four
hours of sales as VANOC's website recorded more than 1,300 hits per
second and set a record for page views at more than five million.</p><p>"We
anticipated demand would be high for tickets, and the level of interest
we saw? was very exciting and, once again, a testament to the pride and
support Canadians continue to show in being part of Canada's Games in
2010," Caley Denton, VANOC vice-president of ticketing and consumer
marketing, said in a statement.</p><p>Gold-medal game hockey tickets to
the men's competition, along with opening ceremony tickets, speed
skating and figure skating were among the first tickets to sell out.</p><p>Tickets
to preliminary ice hockey, curling and victory ceremonies are still
available, along with limited tickets for other sports.</p><p>VANOC will launch a third, smaller phase of ticket sales this fall.</p><p>The committee is also working on developing an authorized ticket resale program for launch later this year.
