BOCOG says it will offer cheaper Olympic tickets to young Chinese people. This announcement came at the 88th BOCOG (Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad) Executive Board meeting.

The Olympic education-related ticketing program will focus on the school children involved in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Education Program and young athletes of the same age-group. The tickets to the opening/closing ceremonies are not included.

The decision was made in accordance with a request by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and in reference to the practice of previous Olympic Games.
