Tickets for the 2016 Olympic events are unavailable until 2015. Typically, tickets and reservation are made available to the public one year prior to the event, through select ticketing agencies and through the sponsoring country's own website. Ticket prices are not available as of 02/24/2014.

Some general rules:

Ticket prices are based on where you sit. The higher the seat in the auditorium or event hall the cheaper they are. Lower sideline seats can also be more expensive than shown here as a guide. You must buy tickets for each individual event. There are no all inclusive passes for the games. Many hotels do offer packages with select tickets and lodging that start at $2000. However, each of these packages are different depending upon the events and types of rooms. Some higher-end hotels are taking advanced bookings now.

Here is an average cost for certain events in general in US dollars based on the current Winter Olympics (summer prices may be higher):

Opening ceremony from around $175 dollars to $1,000 dollars. Closing ceremony between $175 and $800. Victory ceremonies are around $25. Depending on the individual event, tickets can cost between $25 and $700 dollars, with the more popular events being more expensive.
