Explanation of the Olympic Ice Hockey Proposed Schedule:

At the conclusion of the 18-game Preliminary Round, all 12 teams will be ranked in a joint ranking "D". This ranking will be used for seeding the teams in the Qualification Playoff games and will used for calculating the Final Ranking at the conclusion of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games Men's Tournament.

After the Preliminary Round, 1D, 2D, 3D and 4D will receive a bye into the Quarter-finals and will be named as the Home Team for their Quarter-final pairing.

The Qualification Playoff games will be played in the following match-ups (Group E):
  • 5D - 12D (Winner will become E1)
  • 6D - 11D (Winner will become E2)
  • 7D - 10D (Winner will become E3)
  • 8D - 9D (Winner will become E4)

The four winning teams of the Qualification Playoff games will advance to the Quarter-final Round. The four losing teams of the Qualification Playoff games will be ranked 9 through 12 according to their ranking after the Preliminary Round.

The Quarter-final Games will be played with the following match-ups (Group F):

    • 1D - E4 (Winner will become F1)
    • 2D - E3 (Winner will become F2)
    • 3D - E2 (Winner will become F3)
    • 4D - E1 (Winner will become F4)

The Semi-Final games will be played with the following match-ups. The home team will be the higher ranked team as determined at the completion of the Preliminary Round (Group D):

    • F1 - F4
    • F2 - F3

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

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.
