\"\"<\/p>\n

Don’t ask why, but I randomly searched to see if there were still tickets for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics<\/a> coming up in February. Surprisingly, there were, and I gave a fist pump when I saw “available” \u00a0next to men\u2019s freestyle skiing. That got me thinking, “bet I\u2019m not the only one.” A tornado of mouse clicks and google searches ensued; here’s what I got.<\/p>\n

Getting There:<\/strong> Cheapticketlinks.org<\/a> has a list of budget airlines that fly into Canada: WestJet, CanJet, Flyglobespan, Horizon Air, and US Airway. Don\u2019t forget about alternate airports to fly into: Seattle SeaTac International (SEA), Bellingham International (BLI), or even Abbotsford International (YXX).<\/p>\n

Staying There:<\/strong> There\u2019s a great article over at BootsnAll<\/a> listing and describing numerous hostels in the area. They start at about $18 usd and up. Another great resource is hostelblog.org<\/a> with a ton more possibilities.<\/p>\n

Tickets:<\/strong> You\u2019re going to see the games, right? So you\u2019ll need these.<\/a> Good news, you can still get your mitts on them. Many of the hockey games still have tickets, and if you aren\u2019t picky about who you watch, you can score $25 dollar tickets. If you want to, and a little bit of me does, grab one of the opening ceremony tickets from $175 to $1,100.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong> Remember, it\u2019s a huge event, it may cost you some dinero. Act fast, be flexible, and enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
