Anybody Buying Tickets? Anybody Selling Tickets?

VANOC has just launched their official Fan-to-Fan Marketplace for 2010 tickets.

If you have some extra tickets that you won't be able to use or if you didn't get the tickets you want this Fan-to-Fan Marketplace is your only way to gaurantee that your ticket purchases are 100% legitimate.

Legitimacy is handled in the following manner. Only tickets bought from VANOC can be listed there. Secondly, once tickets are sold, the original tickets become null and void and the purchaser picks up a new set of tickets, with a new barcode, from a VANOC Ticket Outlet.

Sellers are allowed to list tickets for any price they choose, so long as it is not less than face value. Both sellers and purchasers pay a 10% fee to VANOC.

To see what's available and at what prices you will have to create a ticketing account and sign in. Once you've searched a particular event be sure to scroll down until you see the Fan-to-Fan Marketplace section.
