Tickets for 2010 YOG

Tickets for 2010 Youth Olympic Games available from Wednesday

Up to 320,000 tickets will be available for sale worldwide from Wednesday for the inaugural 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore.

Releasing the competition schedule, the Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee (SYOGOC) said that in order to watch regular sports events, it will cost S$10 for the preliminary rounds, S$15 for the quarter-finals/semi-finals and S$30 for the finals.

Although there will be no discounts or season tickets, SYOGOC chief executive officer Goh Kee Nguan believes the tickets are affordably priced.

Every ticket purchase will also come with a Singapore 2010 DBS Visa Prepaid Companion Card that offers up to four free MRT train rides and unlimited bus rides for the day of the event that the ticket is purchased for. It can also be used as a pre-paid top-up card.

Tickets will go on sale on a first-come-first-serve basis at www.singapore2010.sg/tickets on Wednesday, March 31 at 9.00am, and via the Singapore 2010 Ticketing Call Centre Hotline at +65 63482010 from 9.00am to 10.00pm daily.
