If you don't already have your tickets I'd say good luck unless you're willing to pay EXORBINANT prices on Craigslist, etc. I had a couple friends score Class C tickets (ie. nose bleed) to the men's gold medal game that recently sold them for $2200 each, they paid $320 for them initially.

I live and work within a 10 blocks radius from the curling venue
Thankfully it doesn't appear to have had any affect on my daily commute or life other than all the military and police choppers buzzing around over my house.
Personally I'm looking forward to the Games and all the parties and cultural stuff associated with it. My wife and I went to Holland Pavilion (aka Heinkein House) last night and had a great time. We didn't bother trying to get tickets for the Olympics themselves, our plan was always to get tickets to some of the Paralympic events since we both find people with disabilities who are able to compete at that level far more impressive.
