UAE – Mubasher: Ticket prices to Expo 2020 Dubai will be priced at AED 120 ($33) a day, organisers said in a statement on Saturday.

The three-day ticket, which can be used on any of the three days during the 173 days of the Expo, will cost AED 260 ($71).

The six-month Expo 2020 Dubai will be held during the period from 20 October 2020 to 10 April 2021 and is expected to welcome more than 25 million visitors.

The global event will feature cultural highlights, entertainment, and innovation.

"With less than 550 days to go before the biggest event ever to be held in the Arab region, excitement is building fast. 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,” Sanjive Khosla, deputy chief of sales and marketing at Expo 2020 Dubai, commented.

However, tickets will be offered to international travellers in bundled packages to be sold by authorised ticket resellers, contracted with Expo 2020 starting next month, the statement added. 

The tickets will go on sale to the public in April 2020.
