More than 100,000 tickets for the Vancouver Olympics have gone back on sale following a computer glitch that frustrated customers.

A problem with the online ticketing system caused the Vancouver Olympics Web site to crash last week. But Olympic organizers said on Saturday that ticketing operations were now running smoothly.

Seats at every Vancouver-area sports event were back on sale, including those for the opening ceremony and men's ice hockey final.

The tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis in the third and final phase of tickets available to Canadians.

Organizers expect to start delivering some tickets in time for Christmas but most won't be delivered until the New Year.
