Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) for information
about sale of 2008 Beijing Olympics Games tickets in Beijing April 15,

Beijing, April 15 - Chinese nationals and foreigners living in China can
now book more than seven million tickets available for the 2008 Olympic
Games, organizers said on Sunday.
Orders can be processed on the website (www.tickets.beijing2008.cn) and
at 1,000 designated Bank of China branches, but tickets will not be
delivered until June 2008.
"All the tickets to the opening and closing ceremonies as well as half of
the tickets to 28 sports are on offer in the first phase of sales which
will last until June 30," Rong Jun, head of the Olympic Ticketing Center,
told a press conference.
The second leg of domestic sales will kick off in October 2007 and run
through December 2007. Remaining available tickets from Phase One and the
other 50 percent of sports tickets for domestic public will be on sale in
this period. The public can also book tickets in Phase Two by calling
BOCOG ticketing call center (8610-952008).
Foreigners as well as residents in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan of China
would be able to buy Olympic tickets through their National Olympic
Committees or from designated outlets at the same price, said Rong.
"On the whole, about 25 percent of the seven million tickets will go to
overseas public," he said.
Everyone is only allowed to buy one ticket each for the opening and
closing ceremonies, two for high-demand sports sessions and three to five
for other events.
"We want to maximize the number of people who have an opportunity to
watch the Games," said Rong.
Excluding those reserved for the Olympic Family, sponsors, rights-holding
broadcasters and security guards, some 63,000 tickets are available to
the opening ceremony that will take place in the 91,000-seat National
Stadium.
"The domestic public has access to about 40 percent, which is higher than
the Athens Games in 2004," said Rong.
In an attempt to prevent terrorists and ticket scalpers, people need to
submit their photos when booking tickets to the opening and closing
ceremonies, and the tickets can be transferred only once with the consent
of BOCOG in advance, said Rong.
"Advanced anti-counterfeiting technologies will be used in printing the
tickets," he said.
Tickets to oversubscribed events will be allocated by random draw.
"It ensures that everyone has an equal chance of purchasing tickets,"
said Rong.
In an effort to make the Olympics affordable to average Chinese
residents, about 58 percent of the tickets are priced at 100 yuan (12
U.S.dollars) or less, and 14 percent of all tickets would be reserved for
Chinese students for 10 yuan (1.3 dollars) or less.
Ticket prices for the 28 sports sessions range from 30 yuan (3.50
dollars) to 1,000 yuan (127 dollars).
The most expensive tickets are for the opening ceremony on the evening of
Aug. 8, 2008, which cost 5,000 yuan (646 dollars). The cheapest tickets
for that event are 200 yuan (26 dollars).
