Residents of mainland China can submit applications to buy the 1.8 million tickets between Dec. 10 and Dec. 30, said the organizers. "The date of the lottery would be announced later." "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 said in the statement. A total of seven million tickets for the Aug. 8-24 Games are available to the general public with nearly three quarters reserved for domestic sales. Only 43,000 tickets were sold last week. The first batch of 1.6million tickets were allocated by lottery earlier this year. (source: www.beijing2008.cn)
