About Olympic Figure Skating Competition:
Through this introduction to Olympic Figure Skating we hope you will have a better understanding of the sport and it's origins.
The history of Olympic figure skating dates all the way back to 1892, the International Skating Union (ISU) was founded. Six years later, the first ISU-sanctioned event was held, and organisers hoped it might soon become an official Olympic sport. Once Figure Skating competitions could be held indoors, figure skating was added to the Olympic programme for the 1908 Summer Games. It was until 1924 when Figure skating became an official Olympic Winter Competition at the Olympics in Chamonix, France.
ABOUT OLYMPIC FIGURE SKATTING COMPETITION
There are four Olympic Figure Skating events: womens singles, men's singles, pairs, and ice dancing.
The singles olympic figure skating event consists of two parts: the short programme, and free skating. The short programme combines eight prescribed elements such as jump combinations and spins. In the free skating programme, skaters, perform an original arrangement of techniques to music of their choice. As judges deduct points for a programme that consists of too many or too few jumps, a balanced programme is important. Over the years the skill level of the athelets has improved dramatically as well as the programs they have skated.
The pairs event also consists of a short programme and free skating. The couple works as one unit, demonstrating overhead lifts, throw-jumps with the man launching his partner, and other manoeuvres. The performance requires harmony, strength and grace.
Ice dancing is similar to ballroom dancing. The focus is on the complex steps in time with the music. The skaters maintain contact with each other, limiting lifts and jumps.
The ice dancing event consists of three sections: compulsory, original, and free dances. In compulsory dancing, the couple performs one pre-determined dances. Original dance must follow selected rhythms, though the pair can choose their own music and interpretative steps. In free dancing the pair freely express their interpretation of the music they have chosen.

From a loyal eSeats.com Customer!
I am not really sure what to say. In my attempts to find tickets for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, I came across problem after problem until I found at eseats.com. Not only was their inventory up to date and with a good price, but there brokers were always available to help me through the process. Sometimes it can be nice to talk to a real person which eseats.com definitely provides. Thanks a lot.

eSeats.com to my rescue!
6 months prior to the 2008 Summer games in Beijing I made my first Olympic ticket purchase, which ended up being from a fraud company. Soon afterwards I made a second purchase and that company notified me that they could not service the order just 2 weeks before my departure. With just a week before leaving for Beijing I found eseats.com who immediately confirmed an order for half my requested tickets. The owner of eseats.com personally made a call to his vendors to find tickets that were not listed on his site to attempt to fulfill my past order through the other companies. Thank you to eseats.com for the prompt confirmation, friendly service and for going the extra mile to take care of its customers.

Here is my real story which took place with my China Olympics tickets. I ordered and paid for $60K worth of tickets via a competitors website and received nothing. Since I paid with my Amex I have since dispute the charges and filed a complaint with the government. I also sent an e-mail to the LA Times reporter: greg.johnson@latimes.com.
As to eSeats.com? I spoke directly to Bob Berstein (the owner) and he is the one who got me replacement tickets. FYI... the company is legit... in business for 18 years and has a great reputation. If you ever have questions about his service, feel free to speak with me.
If you shall need tix, Bob at eSeats.com is the man.
Good luck to all
US Olympic Committee note to Bob:

History of the Olympics
The first official Olympic Winter Games was appropriately held in Athens Greece
in 1896, as was the last event in 2004. The inaugural games featured 241 participants
from 14 nations, while the most recent contest involved 11,100 competitors
from 202 countries. The original games can be traced back to Olympia, Greece
in 8th century B.C. The most popular legend is that Heracles, son of Zeus
and Alcmene, created the Olympic games and built the Olympic stadium and surrounding
buildings as a tribute to his father. Since a medal count has been recorded,
the United States garnered the most gold medals with 35, followed by China
with 32 and Russia with 27. Beijing was elected host city of the 2010 Winter
games on July 13, 2001. The city that will carry the torch to host the 2014
games has yet to be determined.
