Those lining up online and in telephone que's for Vancouver 2010 Olympic tickets who thought they had a decent shot at getting prime tickets for Vancouver 2010 Olympic games were sadly mistaken. So what does it take to get prime tickets to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games? Well, according to reports, 15-million to VANOC, and $20-million to the U.S. Olympic Committee has guaranteed Yugoslavian Millionaire Sead Dizdarevic the right to jump the Vancouver 2010 ticket line and scalp Vancouver 2010 Olympic tickets to the highest bidder.
Sead Dizdarevic has made his millions off the backs of Olympic Athletes by hocking, often illgotten ticket bounties on the rich and famous around the world. If you have the Money, Sead Dizdarevic has the Olympic tickets you want.
So where does this leave other tour agencies who wish to purchase tickets for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games? Well, a Canadian based tour company found out the hard way, re-selling tickets was not a right given to just anyone. As a result of their efforts to sell travel packages including tickets to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games, Roadtrips Inc. found themselves in court battling VANOC over who has the right to re-sell Tickets to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. According to VANOC, Roadtrips Inc was violating Olympic rules by selling tickets to the Games as part of its travel packages.
Hmmmm, isn't that exactly what the self proclaimed Vancouver 2010 "Ticket King" Sead Dizdarevic is doing? I guess in the Olympic game, at least, Money talks and normal people are left without tickets to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
As a side note, the Canadian tour company wanting to sell Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games ticket packages must purchase their tickets from Sead Dizdarevic. Oh ya, Sead Dizdarevic cleaned himself up real nice since the Salt Lake City ticket scandal which brought him to light.

VANCOUVER 2010 Olympic Jobs
The local paper ran a front page story today on how VANOC is struggling to find bodies to fill the over 10,000 VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES JOB OPENINGS. Perhaps the reason VANOC is having trouble finding people to fill the VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES JOB OPENINGS is because they are doing a crap job of posting the openings. Yes, there are some radio commercials talking about VOLUNTEER POSITIONS at the VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES but this is asking for free labour and in an economy like the current one, that is alot to ask for when talking about unpaid VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES JOB OPENINGS.The fact of the matter is, it will take a substantial workforce to make the VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES a reality and a workforce takes money, which is a thing VANOC is running low on. Grandiose plans, corporate bailouts (Millennium Project), and lack of planning are rapidly making the promise of a Cash cow look more like a dried out old donkey.
Looking at the list of VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES JOB OPENINGS online, it seems VANOC has a long way to go in defining the critical VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES JOB OPENINGS, let alone filling them and training potential VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES Employee's. So does it surprise me the Province had the VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES JOB OPENINGS as a front page story? Not really.
To add to this fiasco, I was just talking to a customer who has a sister that works for the PNE. Apparently, the PNE has signed on to have all their staff filling VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES JOB OPENINGS under the employee loaning program. This is an arrangement which happened awhile back and covers quite a number of positions. This is something which should make filling VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES JOB OPENINGS easier. The thing is, as of October 3, 2009, the on loan employee's of the PNE still do not have any idea of what they will be doing during the Olympics. They have not been trained, they have not had their required security clearances and they do not even know what jobs they will be filling or whether they will be working part-time or full-time.
I know I am starting to sound like a big downer on the VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES but I was not always like this. To be quite honest, I was a staunch supporter of the VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES, I saw the whole VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES coming to Vancouver as a positive thing. I was excited about the frenzy and looking forward to the boom it would be bringing.
As for the boom, well all the contracts seemed to go to friends of VANOC as the whole contract posting procedure was a farce. As for frenzy, it seems to only frenzy will be caused by the chaos of disorganization. VANOC promised a boom for local businesses, how can this be when businesses located in the red zones do not even know if they will be allowed to show up for work before, during and shortly after the VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES. So what, is everyone who owns a business in the "Red Zone" supposed to shut down for a month and just eat the loss in revenue? Where is this "Boom" you promised us Mr. Furlong?
So again, am I surprised by this "new" report of potential VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES disorganization?? NOPE!!!
For those who came here looking for a LISTING OF VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES JOB OPENINGS / VACANCIES, here ya go, a list of te 60 some odd jobs currently listed as VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC GAMES JOB OPENINGS as well as their location and posting dates on the VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPIC JOB BOARD.
