"The Education Ministry (MOE) is buying 80,000, or a quarter of the available tickets, for students from primary schools to junior colleges to watch both preliminary and final competitions during the Aug 14 - 26 event.
The ministry declined to say how much money would be spent on the tickets or whether there had been any concessions given.
Tickets - all general admission - are being sold to the public at $10 for the preliminary rounds and $30 for the final medal rounds.
