The Central Stadium in Ulaanbaatar is relatively small, with a limited number of seats. At the same time, a large number of people — both local residents and Mongolians living abroad — want to watch the Naadam Opening Ceremony in person. Because of this huge demand, tickets are distributed through a lottery and sell out very quickly, making it quite difficult to find available seats. Many visitors even plan their trips months in advance just to experience this special event. That is why, Naadam opening tickets are not cheap because we buy them for a higher price from individuals who won them in the lottery.
Challenges in Buying Naadam Opening Ceremony Tickets:
- Tickets sell out quickly – Seats are limited and demand is very high, so tickets are usually sold out within a few days.
- Limited online sales – Online booking systems sometimes don’t work well or accept only local Mongolian bank cards.
- Price fluctuations – Once official tickets are sold out, resellers often increase prices several times.
- Unclear seating information – Some tickets may not clearly show the seat location or may differ from the actual place.
- Long entry lines – On the opening day, security checks at the Central Stadium can take a long time, so it’s best to arrive early.
