Why is the ticket price for opening ceremony higher than the regular competitions?
☞ As the opening ceremony will be held at the world-class level where the entire historical, natural and cultural competitive edge of the hosting nation and city are assembled to be shared by not only hosting nationals but also all the people around the globe. We have set the price for each grade differently as we expect that S grade tickets would mainly sold by FINA family, sponsor owner, directors of related organization and partner company owners. A grade tickets are expected to be sold to key employees of organizations and companies and B grade is expected to be sold to general audience.
- Comparing the ticket price to that of recently held Incheon Asian Games Opening Ceremony as well as to the tickets for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games, it is priced at a very low level.
