Following the temporary suspension of the Phase 2 domestic tickets sales of the Beijing Olympic Games, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) has modified the ticketing policies for the second phase of the Beijing Olympic Games tickets sales.

The ticketing policy modifications aim to reflect a people-oriented policy and to adhere to principles of fairness, impartiality, and convenience to the public. BOCOG has taken into consideration technical verification and research by specialists as well as comments and suggestions from various parties in making the policy adjustments.

The Phase 2 ticketing policy changes are as follows:

1. Phase 2 of the Beijing Olympic Games ticket sales will institute a policy whereby BOCOG will use a one-time lottery drawing to determine ticket buyers.

2. Eligible ticket buyers may request tickets based on an adjusted ticket purchase limit.

3. Ticket applications will be accepted beginning December 10, and the ticket application submission period will end on December 30. There will be no priority given to applications received first.

4. The ticket purchase limit and the date of the lottery drawing will be announced at a later date.

5. Ticket buyers who registered on October 30, 2007 at BOCOG-designated Bank of China branches and through the BOCOG Ticketing Call Center with a valid ID will still have priority in purchasing tickets. The ticket purchase guidelines for these ticket buyers will be announced at a later date.
