Hello everybody,
We're planning a trip to Mongolia next summer and we want to join the Naadam festival on july 11th.
What is the best place to buy tickets for the opening ceremony and other sports events?
And can we book legal tickets online in advance? I'm curious, because I've heard that a lot of invalid tickets will circulate in UB a few days before the festival will start... Please help us out! Thank you so much!
Kiki.
Hi Kiki
Tourists can buy Naadam opening ceremony tickets for about USD25 from the Metropolitan Tourism Department, or through hotels and tour operators. Most tour operators include tickets to the opening ceremony in their tour programs during July.
The tickets will become available only a few weeks before Naadam. There is no option of purchasing tickets online.
See the 2011 detailed Naadam program for more details.
Enjoy the Naadam

Hello Kiki. Best bet is Hennessy's Restbar. It is situated behind the Kempinski International Hotel. Its an expats bar and they have all the information and contacts as well as tickets for you name it.
The manager is an American named Jake. Find them on facebook.
Sainuu! Thank you for the tips guys! I'll figure it out and hopefully we can arrange some tickets. The problem is that we arrive in Mongolia at the start of the Naadam festival. So we cannot make it to buy some tickets ourselves and we don't want any 'Naadam excursion', we are looking for just the ticket. Anyway...thanks a lot!!!
