Price levels and their corresponding seating areas are determined by miscellaneous factors such as the architectural design and geographic location of an event-hosting venue as well as the characteristics of the event itself. Different price levels are distinguished by the letter labels A, B, C, etc. The seating areas represented by each price level may vary from venue to venue and from session to session. Please take it into consideration when filling out your application form.

How do I locate my seats?

You may request tickets by price levels when you place your ticket order. System will find your seating position within the venue in a broader range. Your tickets will display the exact seating numbers once they are printed. Prior to that, BOCOG will not make a special notification to ticket purchasers on their seating locations, nor will the Customer Service department of BOCOG have this information available.

Do I need to notify BOCOG of any changes on my mailing address or my contact numbers, etc.?
