The ticket prices for Expo 2020 Dubai have been revealed.

A day’s entry to the event, which starts next October, will be Dh120. There will also be a three-day pass, which can be used for any three days during the six-month duration of the Expo, for Dh260.

Entry for people older than 65, children aged 5 or under and people of determinat­ion will be free. Students, children between 6 and 17 and carers of people of determinat­ion will receive a 50 per cent discount.

Tickets will go on sale to internatio­nal travellers via resellers in bundled packages from next month, while the general public will be able to buy tickets from April next year.

Visitors will also be able to buy monthly and season passes from the Expo, details of which will be announced later.

“With less than 550 days to go before the biggest event to be held in the Arab region, excitement is building fast,” said Sanjive Khosla, deputy chief of sales and marketing for the organisers.

“We aim to be a World Expo that is accessible to all, and believe the ticket prices and concession­s will help us achieve that ambition. We can’t wait to welcome millions of visitors from around the globe as we make every effort to ensure that our welcome is warm and reflective of the rich Arabic tradition of hospitalit­y.”

The event will include 60 live shows a day, new technologi­es, performanc­es by well-known artists, parades and more than 200 outlets serving food from around the world.
