How to Get Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games Tickets for People outside China???

Overseas sales will be managed by individual National Olympic Committees. The three-phased “Enter to Win” lottery ticketing is applied only to people residing in China. Thanks goodness.

There are more than 200 countries with National Olympic Committees who are eligible to apply for tickets. After they get their allocation, it is up to them to determine how they distribute their tickets. Isn’t this wonderful?

The 60,000 seats up for sale for the August 8, 2008 opening ceremony (08.08.08) at the National Stadium, known as the ‘Bird’s Nest,’ are expected to be among the most sought-after during the two-week games.

So, if you’re a US citizen, go get your Beijing 2008 tickets from US Olympic Committee. If you’re from Canada, get them from Canadian Olympic Committee (or see below).

How much does each ticket cost? Cheap? Costs are listed in the middle of this article.
