The XXII Winter Olympic Games will start very soon in Sochi. The time of their holding is scheduled from 7 to 23 February 2014. In our country, the Winter Olympics will be held for the first time in its history.
How are preparations for the opening ceremony going?
The organizers involved in preparing the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi promise an unforgettable and spectacular show. The grandiose action, in which more than 2,5 thousand actors will participate, is scheduled for February 7, 2014. It will take place in Sochi, at the central fisht stadium, the arena of which is made in the form of a mountain top.
This Olympic facility was built specifically for the ceremonial events of the Olympics - the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the awarding of Olympic medalists. The opening of the Olympics is expected to be attended by about 60 heads of state and government of different countries, as well as heads of significant international organizations.
Celebration scenario
The best Russian scriptwriters and directors are participating in the preparation of the opening ceremony. One of the leaders of the preparations for the opening of the Olympic Games was K. Ernst, General Director of Channel One. The details of the script are kept in strict confidence, but there is no doubt that this will be a unique show, prepared at a very high technical level.
However, there are many assumptions about how the opening ceremony will take place. It is expected that the Olympic flame will be lit in space, and the ceremony will be based on the ancient Greek myth about the god Prometheus, who gave people fire, for which he was punished by the gods and chained to the top of Mount Fisht.
As you know, the Bunny, Polar Bear and Leopard were chosen as symbols of the Olympic Games. The bright and unforgettable opening ceremony will be broadcast live by all the central TV channels. It will also be possible to see it on Internet resources online.
Where to buy and how much are tickets
The only official supplier of tickets for the Olympic Games is the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee. Tickets are sold on the official website of the Organizing Committee. Traditionally, the most expensive tickets on sale were tickets for the opening ceremony - the starting price is about 6,000 rubles. But in the official sale they ended, even though they were expensive.
It can be assumed that now these tickets are also being sold, but at a price much higher than the official one, although during the period of their sale there were restrictions on the number of tickets purchased per one hand. In addition, such a sale is prohibited by law.
