This morning BOCOG announced the specifics of the third phase of their Olympics ticketing program. For those who won tickets during the first ticketing phase, you will be able to pick up your tickets in June or early July. Olympics tickets are being printed now!
BOCOG Press Conference Excerpts:
Starting from 9am, May 5 to June 9, 2008, BOCOG will launch the Phase Three Domestic Olympic Ticket Sales Program.
During this period, the public can buy tickets of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games at designated Bank of China (BOC) ticket outlets or by logging on to the official ticketing website of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
The number of the ticket outlets during this stage will be fewer than that offered during the previous two phases.
For further details, please log on to the official ticketing website of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games or call the Olympic ticketing call centre at 952008.
Similar to the first two phases, only applications from individual buyers will be accepted during the third phase of the Program Group applications will therefore be considered ineligible. Applicants will use their valid ID cards for registration purposes (further details are available at the official ticketing website of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games).
The purchase limit is two sessions per application and three tickets per session.
According to BOCOG, a total of 1.38 million Olympic tickets will be released during the 3rd phase.
