Vancouver Olympic organizers have launched a website allowing those with tickets to the 2010 Games to sell them at any price. Organizers say the ticket resale website will help ensure there are no empty seats at Olympic events and cut down on scalping. VANOC executive Dave Cobb says organizers decided against capping ticket prices on the site because they felt such a move would hinder its use. Tickets to the men’s gold medal hockey are being offered for five-thousand dollars.
