Interest in the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics was lower than expected

A noteworthy point has emerged regarding the opening ceremony of the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.

Idman.Biz reports that approximately 10,000 tickets for the ceremony, which will be held at the "San Siro" stadium and priced between 260-2026 euros (520-4052 AZN), have not been sold. The organizers have decided to distribute these tickets to volunteers.

It is noted that although it was announced that world-renowned artists would perform at the opening ceremony, this factor was not enough to increase fan interest. Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and American singer Mariah Carey will perform at the event. It is reported that Mariah Carey will perform a song in Italian at the ceremony.

It has been announced that parallel ceremonies will be held in three different locations in addition to Milan at the same time. In addition, for the first time in Olympic history, the Olympic torch will be lit in two different cauldrons at the same time. This step will symbolize the joint hosting of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
