Second Olympic ticket sales phase to end Sunday

Xinhua, July 18, 2015 Adjust font size:

The deadline for Brazilian residents to enter the second phase of ticket sales for next year's Olympic Games is midnight on Sunday, organizers said on Friday.

Residents of other countries can purchase tickets through authorized resellers listed in their regions, according to a Rio2016.com release.

About three million tickets are available in the second phase for events such as the individual rhythmic gymnastics final, men's football semifinals and the men's doubles tennis semifinals.

If there are more requests than tickets, a draw will be held to select successful applicants.

"We still have tickets available for almost all sports. Only triathlon, synchronized swimming, road cycling and marathon swimming are totally sold out," Rio 2016 ticketing director Donovan Ferreti said.

The remaining tickets will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis in October. Endi
