Tickets for the Winter Youth Olympic Games Gangwon 2024 go on sale from 11 November, giving you the chance to watch the stars of the future in action.
Approximately 1,900 of the world’s top young athletes from around 81 National Olympic Committees will descend upon the Republic of Korea from 19 January to 1 February 2024, in what will be Asia’s first-ever Winter YOG.
From 11:11 a.m. KST (3:11 a.m. CET) on 11 November, fans will be able to secure tickets for their favourite winter sports by visiting tickets.gangwon 2024.org.
Tickets will be free of charge for all events, except the Opening Ceremony in Gangneung.
The Opening Ceremony is set to take place on 19 January 2024 at Gangneung Oval and PyeongChang Dome simultaneously. The full line-up, which will include K-pop rising stars, will be unveiled closer to the ceremony.
The ceremony will also see the athletes marching into the stadium, the conclusion of the Gangwon 2024 Torch Tour, and will culminate in the lighting of the Youth Olympic cauldron.
Those opting for the live experience of the Opening Ceremony in Gangneung will be able to purchase tickets priced from KRW 30,000 to KRW 100,000 (approximately USD 22 to USD 74), while access to the PyeongChang Dome will be free of charge.
Those wishing to attend the PyeongChang Dome will still be required to request a ticket via the online platform or at the box office on the day of the event.
The Games will benefit greatly from the legacy of the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 and will take place in four locations: Gangneung (ice sports), PyeongChang (Nordic and sliding disciplines), Jeongseon (Alpine skiing and dual moguls) and Hoengseong (the remaining freestyle skiing and snowboard events).
Throughout those locations, the audience will be able to engage in a wide range of sports activities, including ice hockey, skating and curling initiations, as well as experience biathlon, cross-country skiing and ski jumping. Additionally, YOG attendees can enjoy photo sessions, face painting, hands-on crafts and immersive VR experiences.
Tickets to the sporting events in those locations will be free of charge, but should be secured online at the official Gangwon 2024 ticketing website.
