If you are going to enjoy the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia this weekend, you are one of a select few able to get tickets.

Tickets cost a substantial amount. David Brackett, an employee of the Washington State Department of Transportation, says he spent $150 on a ticket to a U.S.A.-China women's hockey game, $175 for a curling ticket, and $150 for a hotel room that would normally cost $80 per night.

Getting into Vancouver is going to be a problem, especially if you aren't driving. Every train and plane flight is sold out and traffic is expected to be backed up.

Drivers must present acceptable travel documents to cross the border. Acceptable forms include an enhanced state driver's license, a U.S. passport card, a NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST trusted traveler program card or a regular passport. If you plan on flying up to the Olympics make sure you don't have a U.S. passport card because they don't work when flying internationally.

Security in Vancouver will be stacked in an attempt to make sure nothing disastrous happens.

U.S. officials will also be taking extra precautions in screening visitors returning to the United States and recommend giving yourself extra travel time. Safety is a major focus for the next two weeks, meaning travelers can expect long delays.
