Ticket prices for the 2018 Winter Olympics were announced in April 2016 and went on sale in October

2016, ranging from ₩20,000 (approximately US$17) to ₩900,000 (US$776). Tickets for the opening and

closing ceremonies range from ₩220,000 (US$190) to ₩1.5 million (US$1293). The exact prices were

determined through market research; around 50% of the tickets are expected to cost about ₩80,000 (US

$69) or less, and tickets in sports that are relatively unknown in the region, such as biathlon and

luge, will be made cheaper in order to encourage attendance. By contrast, figure skating and the men's

hockey gold-medal game carry the most expensive tickets of the Games.

As of 11 October 2017, domestic ticket sales for the Games have been slow. Of the 750,000 seats

allocated to South Koreans, only 20.7% have been sold. International sales have been better, with

59.7% of the 320,000 allocated tickets sold. In total, 61% of tickets have been sold. Sales of tickets

to the Paralympic Games are increasing slowly, with 37% of them sold.
