It’s hard to say if Olympic records are being set, but tickets for today’s gold medal hockey game between the U.S. and Canada might be the hottest in the history of Canadian sports. On the official fan-to-fan resale site run by the Vancouver Organizing Committee, seats were being offered for several thousand dollars apiece. On Craigslist, many of the tickets on sale were going for more than $4,000, and one seller was offering two “awesome seats” for $14,999 — cash only. Organizers were philosophical Saturday when asked about the high ticket prices. “No one is being forced to buy tickets they don’t want,” said Mark Adams, a spokesman for the International Olympic Committee.
