I was fortunate enough to attend the match live today. Chang Hao gave a solid review of the game. The general consensus afterwards was that Gu Li had a nice opening, but played a bit too softly letting Li Sedol take the lead in the middlegame.
After the game when the players were taking questions, Gu Li mentioned that Lee Sedol appears to be getting stronger.

But where? You have your location as Beijing but I've seen a reference to the location being the Sunlake Hotel in Pinghu - which would be appropriate as the site of the famous Fan-Shi ten-game match.

Yes, the game was played at the Sunlake Hotel in Pinghu. Despite the name, I am currently living in Shanghai and the trip to Zhejiang can be made in under an hour.

Nice! Did you have to pay the reported 10,000 CNY fee to be there?

For 10,000 RMB I would expect to be eating dinner with the players at a pre-game banquet and have access to all the private rooms.
Alas, I can't imagine anyone there in the general audience actually paid an entrance fee. A friend of mine in Shanghai found a contact for one of the organizers from MLily and sent him a WeChat message in advance. He told us he'd give us free tickets on arrival at the hotel so we decided to make a day trip. Most of the spectators were hobbyist go players and small children - not a particularly wealthy crowd.
Perhaps for the games played in Beijing and Shanghai, where demand would be much higher, tickets might be at more of a premium.

Incidentally, do you know roughly when, in terms of moves, the players went into byo-yomi?

Does 2-0 mean Gu Li is going to bring the fireworks for Game 3? So far I haven't seen anything extra-ordinary an aggressive approach move maybe to fend off the mini-Chinese, which he didn't like in game 1? There for a moment Lee Sidol played a 3-5 as black which is less common in modern play though I have expected it to be more common for black(where it was previously played by white before komi) to try to destabilize the game to overcome komi, but then he made a shimari for his next move, and the game proceeded to be a tight territorial game.

Of course, since they are playing Chinese rules, the final score was really W+0.5 (or 1/4 zi, as reported on Chinese language sites)
Here's some Chinese commentary from weiqi.sports.tom.com (wishing I could read Chinese now)

"Ancient" btw. is Gu. His first name is Li, which according to my rudimentary Chinese means "power." Thus, his name means "ancient power." Not a bad name for a go player. Is it a pseudonym? In any case, don't count him out!
