The key is to move quickly: These prices are only the starting point; actual tabs could run quite a bit higher. Members of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee expect 10 percent of the first tickets made public to be auctioned off online. And who is looking out for the downtrodden members of the International Olympic Committee? Organizers are quick to assure the press that members of the IOC will be asked to pay for their own tickets. Theyll probably say no, SLOC president Mitt Romney said at a press conference Thursday. But theres no harm in asking. Romney shouldnt feel shy about billing IOC members; they're rumored to have some cash lying around.

Its a good thing the stock market is hanging tough. Ticket prices for the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City were announced yesterday, and seats at high-profile events such as ski jumping and the hockey finals will run anywhere from $110 to $425. Count on handing over close to $800 to watch the opening or closing ceremonies. Of course, those on a budget can always settle for a $35 ticket to a curling match.
