Sunny August days don’t often inspire thoughts of watching someone ski briskly down a snowy mountain slope or skate around a frozen slab of ice. But maybe they should. At least for Americans stationed in Europe interested in seeing the next Winter Olympics in person. The Turin, Italy, Games of 2006 are still six months away. But those who wait until winter to buy tickets will most likely be watching on television. “The earlier the better,” says Emilia Puma, an American representing the State Department’s Olympic efforts in Turin, on when to buy tickets. In fact, tickets in some categories for certain events are already sold out. Accommodations? “Hotels just aren’t available around here anymore,” she says. “What you might want to look for are places outside Turin.” Transportation? Forget driving in, Puma says: “A nightmare. I would leave the car outside [Turin].” Driving to somewhere such as Milan and then taking the train could be a good option, she says. Figuring out the best way to buy tickets might cause some aggravation as well. The most common way is via the Internet. Those living in Europe can go to an official site in English, Italian and French. The site also has links to other ways those living in Italy can purchase tickets. Tickets can be bought via Visa credit cards. At this time, consumers aren’t buying specific seats, but types of seating. More>>>
