China prepares Olympics opening ceremony
China's plans for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics will begin to take shape later this year while tickets for the world's largest sporting event will start going on sale in 2006, Xinhua news agency reported Tuesday. A production team for the ceremonies will be picked in September, which is also the deadline for selecting tentative schemes, Xinhua said, citing the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games. The committee is under huge pressure to prepare a "compelling" opening ceremony for the Games on August 8, 2008, said Jiang Xiaoyu, its executive vice president. "Surprises are key to the success of an opening ceremony," he said. "We will try to keep the opening and closing ceremonies in mystery until the last moment." Jiang also said the committee will start selling tickets for the Games next year. "First, we need to figure out how many seats should be reserved for media and guests of the Olympic Family," he said. "Then we will kick off the ticketing plan."
