I know someone mentioned it before, but how many years are there between Day 1 and Day 9?

Approximately 18 and 1/2 years after Day 1.
Season 1: March 2002
Season 2: September 2003
The Game: March 2004
Season 3: September 2006
Season 4: March 2008
Season 5 Prequel: March 2009
Season 5: September 2009
Season 6 Prequel: April 2010
Season 6: May 2011
Redemption: January 2015
Season 7: March 2015
Season 8: September 2016
Live Another Day: September 2020
Dates gathered from Wiki 24, but 2002 doesn't coincided with a year that a presidental election would have taken place, so the years may be off by 2. But we're talking about a fictional universe, so the dates don't have to match.

I didn't realize they had skipped ahead into the future.

Those are timeline dates. Not air dates. http://24.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline
edit: I notice it does say "Sample Timeline", so the dates may be wrong, but the time between seasons doesn't change. It's still 18+ years even if the timeline started in 1996. It appears that info taken from all 24 sources (including books, etc) is where they got the sample timeline.

From your link...
Day 9
The car that Chloe and Jack steals has a road tax disc with an expiry date of 31-05-2014, which would place Live Another Day between June 2013 and May 2014, assuming the tax disc was valid.
In "Day 9: 3:00pm-4:00pm", Adrian Cross mentions in dialogue that his group Open Cell has been active for the past six years. As the Open Cell website places the organization's founding in 2008, this would place Day 9 in 2014.
In "Day 9: 5:00pm-6:00pm", Prime Minister Alastair Davies states there had not been a successful terrorist attack in the UK for 7 years. If he was referring to the July 7 bombings of London (which killed 52 and injured a further 700), this would place Day 9 in 2012. If he was referring to the 2007 Glasgow airport attack (which injured 5 people and is regarded to be a failed attack), this would place Day 9 in 2014. However he may have been referring to a different real-life, or entirely fictional, attack.
During various episodes of this season car number plates contain the number 63 as the third and fourth digits, this means the cars were manufactured sometime after September 2013.

Awesome! So just to clear up what you're saying, it could technically either be September 2020 or September 2022?

If Live Another Day takes place in 2014, then Day 1 takes place in 1996. It's likely they didn't pay attention to details of years when filming. It's also possible (as also mentioned on the Wiki) that Day 1 started prior to 2002, although it's also possible that it took place after 2002. For the timeline to work, however, the year gaps have to be there.
Also from the link:
George Mason's phone in "2:00pm-3:00pm" gives the date as September 25, 2002, putting Day 1 in 2001. However, it also shows the time as 12:15pm.
...Indicating that they didn't pay attention to prop details that much in many episodes.

They have to do another season right? I'm assuming the series had pretty solid ratings.

I liked Jack throwing a meat cleaver through that dude's eye better than both of those.I agree the Margo kill was great..Not even close to me. The Margo kill was far better.snogger said:1 trillion times better then the Margo kill. BEST KILL EVER!
But the beheading of someone that tortured Jack and Audrey was needed for a very long time so, IMO, had the bigger pay off.
Live Another Day takes place 221 months (about 18.5 years) after season one.
Season one took place on the day of the presidential primary, which should be March 2000. But there are other incongruities that point to 2001 instead of 2000 (e.g., somebody's age compared to the year he was born).
In any case, Live Another Day takes place sometime in 2018 or 2019.

Sounds like Fox would like to do more of 24.
"Similarly, Rice would like to see more of 24 following its resurrection this year. "I loved this season of 24, but we haven't had a specific conversation about it coming back yet," he said. "I'm sure we will in the future. It's a fantastic franchise. I think it still has many more stories to tell." Missed the finale? Watch it here."

I'm torn. I'd watch hoping it would be good. But I feel like Jack is what made 24 great. Not sure if it would work without him.

I'd absolutely watch that. She's the main reason I watched Live Another Day. I loved 24 back in the day, but it had run it's course. There's just too much other great stuff on now. With no Jack or Sarah Walker, I'm out.

I've said for YEARS that they need to look for the next "Jack Bauer." For awhile I thought Tony Almeida was being groomed for that, and well.. hehe, we saw what happened there.
If they do a reboot without Bauer, it will feel odd, but I'll definitely watch. Would love to see Jack pop in and out, however. And yes, Chloe is a MUST.
