The President of Peru Martín Vizcarra Cornejo, attended the ceremony launching ticket sales for the Lima 2019 Games. The president and his son Martino bought the first two tickets for the competitions and ceremonies of the multi-sports event to be held in our country in two months.
For the Pan American Games, the official sale of tickets starts on May 27. For the Parapan American Games, the sales start on June 24. For this purpose, before tickets are on sale for the general public, the President bought the tickets 001 and 002 for the Lima 2019 Games in a sales module. The tickets design features an image of Milco, the Games mascot.
“We are ready for the Pan American Games opening ceremony on July 26. Tickets will be available to everyone from Monday. Everyone will have to buy their tickets and we are an example. Prices are accessible: PEN 10 and PEN 20 for any competition,” said Vizcarra.
“Facilities for some sports are already finished, the velodrome will be ready at the end of the month and we are pretty sure that all venues will be ready for July. We will have the opportunity to see elite athletes and for this reason, we promulgated the law to reward Peruvians who win medals with an apartment in the Pan American Village. They will be recognized for their efforts,” said the President.
The President highlighted the importance of the Pan American and Parapan American Games in our country. “We will have a great sports competition with 41 countries, where Peruvians will give their best to win. We will have a record of medals, and we will say ¡Arriba Perú! (Let’s go Peru!). All modern venues are a motivation to play sports. We can come by bicycle, although I do not know if I will enter the velodrome because the track is leaning,” he joked.
The ticket purchase ceremony took place at the Aquatic Center of VIDENA with the attendance of the Minister of Education Flor Pablo, the President of Lima 2019 Carlos Neuhaus Tudela, the Mayor of Lima Jorge Muñoz, the President of the Peruvian Institute of Sports Sebastián Suito and the Head of the Peruvian Olympic Committee Pedro del Rosario.
TICKETS SALES START ON MONDAY
Tickets can be purchased at ten authorized Lima 2019 point of sale around the city. They can also be purchased online at the official website www.lima2019.pe.
To ensure that tickets sale and access control to the venues of an event of such magnitude take place with the highest international standards, the Lima 2019 Organizing Committee has chosen two leading partners worldwide such as Teleticket and Ticketmaster. The consortium of these two companies will guarantee a world-class service and will generate a great added value for the Lima 2019 Games.
As for digital tickets, called e-tickets, printing will no longer be necessary, since spectators can show the electronic ticket on their mobile phone at the entrance of the venue. Finally, tickets can be bought on the day of the Lima 2019 Games competitions at the respective venue.
PROMOTIONS
The price policy seeks to include everyone, since it is possible to attend each competition of the Pan American Games with tickets from PEN 20 for the preliminary games, and tickets from PEN 30 for the finals.
Tickets for the Parapan American Games start at 10 soles. In both cases, there will be discounts of 50 % for minors under 18, seniors and people with impairments.
OPENING FOR THE SOUTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP
Moments before the event, the President of Peru Martín Vizcarra attended the opening of the 51st South American Athletics Championship at VIDENA, which takes place until tomorrow with 383 athletes who came from 14 countries of the Americas, including some top elite athletes, such as Thiago Braz from Brazil, winner of the gold medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
In this ceremony, the President Vizcarra confirmed the commitment of his Government with Lima 2019. “All authorities are committed to sports. We work together to achieve great goals and objectives. Our job is to support sports to educate people with a comprehensive scope. With only two months to go to the Lima 2019 Games, we renew our commitment to the Organizing Committee,” he said.
