Will it increase my probability of securing the tickets for a particular session if I submit multiple application forms or include the session multiple times on my form?
No, your chance of securing Olympic tickets will not be increased by either multiple submissions of an application form or multiple entries of an Olympic session on one application form.
What is the maximum number of Olympic tickets I may purchase?
To achieve a maximum viewing audience, and eliminate a black market in ticket sales, BOCOG has placed a limit on the maximum number of tickets a customer can request for a particular session when filling out an application form. The ticket ordering limit for a session will automatically be displayed when you search for tickets online, or can be found in the ticket application booklets available at any participating Bank of China Olympic ticket outlets.
How do I find out if I have secured any Olympic tickets?
After the ticket lottery and allocation in the session 1, BOCOG will notify the successful applicants. In addition, even without an online ticketing account, applicants would be able to view their lottery results on the ticketing website after identifying themselves at the online prompts. Tickets of Session 3 are delivered to the buyers once the purchases are completed.
When are my tickets available for pick-up?
If you bought tickets before the Session 2, they will be available for pick-up at least 30 days prior to the opening of the Olympic Games. For security reasons, you tickets will not be sent to your mailing address. They will be sent to the participating Bank of China Olympic ticketing outlet you chose on your application form. Please pick up your tickets in person. In Session 3, you get the tickets in real time.
Can I submit an accommodation booking along with my ticket application?
Sorry, BOCOG does not provide ticket-plus-accommodation travel packages. You will have to arrange for your own transport and accommodation prior to attending any Olympic sessions.
I live overseas. Can I book my Olympic tickets through the official website?
Sorry, you are not eligible to book Olympic tickets through the official website. Please contact your regional Olympic committee for inquiries on further ticketing information.
I'm a wheelchair user. Are Olympic venues built to be wheelchair-friendly?
Yes. All the Olympic venues are wheelchair accessible. If you need seats for wheelchair, please make sure to add "Wheelchair seats" instead of "Regular Seats" to your order.
