2008 Beijing Games
These aren't the only tickets that are going for an incredibly low price. The Beijing games tickets sold for the opening and closing ceremony are also going for excellent prices. Students also get a huge discount on the preliminary rounds of the competition. This discount on these Beijing games tickets is an attempt by the Olympic Education Programme to try and get more of the Chinese youth involved in attending the Olympic games. Some of these tickets are only 5 yuan, or what we would call 65 cents. Tickets for the Olympic finals are only 5 more yuan than the preliminaries.
One of the biggest reasons for such a low price for tickets is that the Olympic committee wants the games to be packed full of excited eager spectators to enjoy the events. They want to show the world that the Olympics are not about the money, it's about the people coming together and enjoying these sporting events together in peace.
One of the biggest concerns for the tickets is trying to keep them off the black market. Tons of individuals will be purchasing the Beijing games tickets since they are so cheap, and tons of individuals will try and greedily make a profit by scalping tickets for the event. The committee is trying to stay ahead of the black market and make as many tickets available as possible in order to prevent massive scalping of the Beijing games tickets.
Another worry that avid Olympic fans shared was a concern about a shortage of tickets. With the Beijing games tickets being priced so low, they are sure to generate quite a profit still and possibly even more so than previous Olympic events. This is good news for Olympic fans that are gearing up for the excitement of the 2008 games.
