21个人当中只有1个人可以获得北京奥运会开幕式的门票,就连闭幕式门票的"中奖"概率也只有七分之一。这意味着,想到奥运会现场感受氛围,不是有钱就能搞定的事情。从另一个角度讲,北京奥运会门票其实也是一次考验,这种考验不光针对购要系统,它让你必须提前一年多就要安排好自己的日程。为了奥运会的某个时刻,你要做好充足的准备:抢票的准备,付款的准备,转让的准备,当然还有……失望的准备。
In a country with a population of 1.3 billion,many believe that only the luckiest will have chance of watching the Games,though three-quarters of the seven million very affordable tickets are reserved for domestic sales. To offer the largest number of people the opportunity,Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee(BOCOG)has limited the number of tickets each individual can buy-one each for the opening and closing ceremonies,and two tickets for events in high demand.For other competitions,each buyer will be limited to three to five tickets based on demand. The distribution of the opening and closing ceremonies' tickets is decided by lot. By the end of August,one in 21 applicants had booked the ticket of the opening ceremony,while one-seventh of the applicants had secured the ticket of the closing ceremony.
