Quick Tips: Planning your Olympic Experience

Your Olympic experience is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Be sure to make the most of it and consider these three helpful tips as you plan your Vancouver 2010 experience:

1. Mix and Match
   Witnessing the Olympic Winter Games gives you a rare chance to see top-calibre competition from around the world across a variety of sports. Take this opportunity to truly experience the Games by mixing the sports you love with sports and venues that may be new to you.
   
   

2. Give Yourself Time
   

   We recommend planning to attend a maximum of one event per day. We strongly suggest you arrive early at the venue to allow plenty of time for the security screening process and to find your seat. Opening and Closing Ceremonies and Whistler venues will open three hours before the event, city venues will open two hours before the event. Event postponements or delays occasionally happen. Building your schedule with ample flex time will ensure that such occurrences don’t hamper your experience.
