Count down for the start of the Beijing Olympics as of today is 397 days.

One site that you should visit frequently if you are Traveling to China in 2008 is CoSport, US Website Selling Beijing Olympic Game Tickets.
The CoSport website is officially sanctioned to sell tickets for the Beijing Olympic games in 2008.
According to their website they say in bold red lettering:
“Due to the overwhelming number of requests received for Opening and Closing Ceremony tickets and for high-demand sporting events such as Swimming, Athletics and Gymnastics – Artistic, we may be over-subscribed in some of these event sessions. Thus, there is a chance that you may not receive any or all of these tickets. “However all is not lost, the Cosport website does make mention of “Live Ticket” sales that will commence in October on a first come, first serve basis. So, if you are serious about your travel plans to China in 2008, then visit the CoSport website periodically for frequent updates.Another site to visit for those that are not just dreaming about visiting China, but are serious about traveling to China in 2008 is a travel site called letstravelchina.com The site provides a variety of pre and post Beijing Olympic Tour Packages that have options to add on various sightseeing venues that may be of particular interest to you and your travel companions.
Time is of essence and if you want to have any inkling of a chance to obtain Beijing Olympic Game Tickets and hotel accomodations during your travels to China in 2008, I strongly recommend visiting the two sites I mentioned above, otherwise you may find yourself totally shut out on what is purported to be one of the greatest games in Olympic history.
