How much do opening ceremony tickets cost?

Question

I was wonding.. how much do they cost. I've already planned to go to Chicago in 2016 for the olympics... if their there. and I was just wondering how much opening ceremony tickets are.

Answer 1

The Opening ceremony tickets for the Beijing Games ranged from 200 Yuan (US$30) to 5000 Yuan (US$730).

Two things to consider about the 2016 Games:

1) Chicago hasnt won the bid yet, voting takes place next year

2) If Chicago dose win win the price range will not be that big, I remember during the Sydney Olympics the cheapest tickets for the Opening Ceremony were more than $100

Answer 2

Assuming Chicago does get the games in 2016, they will not set ticket prices until they are close to the time of selling them. There is no way of knowing what they will need to charge to cover expenses and profit.

Answer 3

well, it actually depends when you buy it. Apparently the official price for the bejing ones are 200AUD or so, but later on it costs up to 30k for the front seats. That was crazy~~ But yeh, if you make it quick, it wouldn't be that expensive.
