And seriously, ticket sales already almost expire? You can't even buy tickets in the Olympic season itself?

I thought you were going to go there as a reporter (so you would need accreditation for that). Ticket sales start next year apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I didn't literally mean as reporter I would "report" from the Olympics if I'm there and through a certain Brazilian biathlete maybe get some inside reports from the Olympic village If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

hckošice 13,127 Posted October 26, 2016 Author #20 Share Posted October 26, 2016 PYEONGCHANG OLYMPIC STADIUM Sports: OPENING CEREMONY, CLOSING CEREMONY Cluster: Mountain Location: Daegwallyeong-myeon, PyeongChang The PyeongChang Olympic Stadium will be a temporary venue and will use only for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the XXIII. Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang 2018. The Stadium will be a pentagonal arena in the precinct of PyeongChang Olympic Plaza near to the Alpensia Ski resort, The venue will also serve as the medal plaza during the games. In the candidacy file of Pyeongchang 2018, the Opening and Closing Ceremonies were foreseen to take place in Alpensia Ski Jumping Stadium. This was a plan similar to the one of the 1994 Winter Olympics. However, in July 2012, the POCOG announced some changes in the venue plan and the ceremonies were moved to Hoenggye. The main reasons were organisational, with possible interference between the preparation of the ceremonies and the ski jumping training, and the weather conditions for the spectators. The Stadium will be the final major Olympic venue to be completed, with end of construction expected in September 2017 In addition, next to the stadium will be an Olympic exhibition hall, as well as traditional food markets and other attractions, which will remain as heritage facilities. The Capacity of the Stadium will be 35.000 temporary seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
