Q&As for Olympic ticketing
Shopping & Leisure
Should I wait until the opening of Beijing 2008
Olympic Games before buying my tickets?
It is better to buy your tickets sooner than later. The best seats of the more popular events sell out quickly.

When do I pay for my tickets?
In Phase 1, if you have been allocated tickets through the lottery, BOCOG will charge an amount appropriate to the actual ticket allocation using the payment information on
your application form. When purchasing tickets in Phase 2
and Phase 3, the amounts are due at the time you place an order.

Why is Visa the only card accepted for the Olympic Games Ticket Sales?
As a worldwide Olympic partner, Visa has been the exclusive payment card and the official payment service of the Olympic Games since 1986 and will continue its category sponsorship through 2012, including the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

I lost my Visa card after submitting my ticket application. What should I do?
Please report your loss to your card issuer immediately and call the Games organizing committee with your new Visa card information. We will update your information.
