Expo tickets

International travellers can buy tickets via the official online purchasing sites such as Expo Official Ticket Website. Chinese citizens can use the China Mobile Expo Ticketing System online.
Even for visitors who already have tickets, it is recommended to make reservations for visiting the pavilions themselves, which can only accommodate 50,000 people a day. In contrast, some 400,000 visitors are expected to visit the Expo site daily. Groups can book by telephone while individuals have to use the approximately 200 reservation machines located across the site. Volunteers will be at the pavilion's entrances for further assistance.
