We plan to put on sale the remaining tickets in late July, and people will be able to buy tickets at the Olympic venues by then, said Zhu.
According to Zhu, of the 6 million tickets that have been sold, the Chinese domestic public purchased 3.
43 million, including 800,000 reserved for primary and middle-school students, while the rest went to the National Olympic Committees, the International Federations, the International Olympic Committee and sponsors.
Zhu said 185 National Olympic Committees have booked tickets, and it is a proof of the attraction of the Beijing Games.
As far as we know, 185 is a record number in the history of the Olympic Games, he said.
So judging from the ticket sales, we can say that the Beijing Olympics is a grand party of the Olympic family.
