Expo 2020 Dubai: More than 771,000 ticketed visits recorded since October 1

Expo 2020 Dubai has welcomed 771,477 ticketed visits through its gates since its opening on October 1, the event’s organisers revealed on Monday.

Almost half of all visitors hold a season pass, with more than 100,000 people having visited the site twice and more than 35,000 having gone three times during the first 15 days.

The figures include all ticket holders, but exclude representatives, delegations and guests of international participants, partners and other stakeholders, as well as Expo staff.

The event had previously announced 411,768 ticketed visits during its first 10 days.

To date, visitors to the World Expo – the first ever held in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) – came from 181 nationalities.

The event has also had 9.3 million virtual visitors since October 1.

Expo 2020 Dubai runs until March 31, 2022, with more than 200 pavilions – including 192 country pavilions – as well as up to 60 daily events daily.

To attract more visitors, Expo 2020 has launched the October Pass, priced at Dhs95 for the entire month, giving visitors access to 31 days of experiences. The Dhs95 ticket can also be converted into a season pass on site for an additional Dhs150 – much cheaper than the Dhs495 that the season pass is priced at.
