The Expo 2010 Organizer will halt ticket sales and exchange service on the last two days of the world fair, namely October 30 and 31, due to a large number of important events.

Holders of standard tickets are urged to visit the Expo during its last week from October 25 to 31 if they pay an extra 40 yuan (US$6). The exchange service is available from 8am to 8:50pm at ticket offices near the gates.

The last week of the Expo will be a peak period based on the experiences of previous Expos. Admission will cost 200 yuan, 40 yuan more than a standard day ticket.

A 160-yuan (US$24) standard day ticket can be changed for two night tickets (90 yuan each) at the gates from 4pm to 8:50pm until October 29.

Visitors can buy peak day tickets at the gates or at the outlets of five Expo ticketing agents – China Mobile, China Telecom, Bank of Communications, China Post, and Shanghai Brilliance Group.
