  • Travel tips

Know Before You Go

  • What Olympic spectators need to know about clearing security at venues
  • Top tips to enhance spectators’ Olympic experience
  • Spectator tips for clearing security at Olympic venues:
  • Arrive early: Don’t miss the start of competition. Know before you go and leave plenty of time to clear the security screening.
  • Entering an Olympic venue will take longer than traditional events.
  • City Venues: Gates open two hours before the start of competition
  • Mountain venues: Gates open three hours before the start of competition at Whistler and Cypress Mountain venues.
  • Opening and Closing Ceremonies: Gates open four hours early.
  • Check tickets: Make sure your ticket has the correct session code. Treat your tickets like cash. Lost or stolen tickets cannot be replaced or refunded.
  • Bring the smallest bag possible: If you have a bag smaller than a bread box (15 cm x 15 cm x 30 cm or 6 in x 6 in x 12 in), or no bag at all, you can use the express lane to enter the venue. Spectators carrying larger bags will follow the standard lane. Lanes will be clearly marked.
  • Be prepared: Read the spectator guide or check the list of permissible items at www.vancouver2010.com/olympicspectator-guide. All spectators will be asked to pass through a magnetometer (metal detector). Help expedite the process by emptying pockets of all metal objects.
  • Follow instructions: Public information marshals will be welcoming spectators to expedite their entry into the venue and communicate key information to assist everyone in moving
