Phase 2 for Chinese ticket sales will begin December 10 and end on December 30. After the disasterous first round of ticketing, the Chinese ticketing agency has since replaced director Rong Jun with a new director Zhu Yan.

A lottery system similar to that used in the first phase will also apply for this phase, BOCOG Ticketing Center Director Zhu Yan announced on Friday.

The Chinese mainland public can submit applications through the official ticketing website (www.ticket.beijing2008.cn) or through 1,000 Bank of China outlets designated by BOCOG, he told those at a press conference at the Beijing Olympic Media Center.

The public may contact the ticket call center to obtain relevant information, but the center will not accept applications, he added. After the deadline, the ticketing center will randomly select buyers based on the pool of tickets available.
