According to the China Aviation Travel Network, not long ago, the "Signing Ceremony of Designated Agents for Ticket Sales of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and Media Conference" was held at the Shanghai Expo Bureau. Media outlets from home and abroad attended the signing ceremony and asked questions about the methods of Expo ticket sales to Chen Xianjin, deputy director of the Shanghai Expo Bureau, and representatives of the first batch of 13 designated domestic and foreign ticket sales agents.
At the press conference, the method of Expo ticket sales became a hot topic of concern for reporters from various media outlets. A representative of China Mobile stated that 800 self-built service halls will gradually open as the preparation for the Expo progresses. In addition, the mobile company will also launch a brand new "pure electronic ticket". This type of ticket will embed ticket information into the SIM card, allowing citizens who purchase tickets to only need their mobile phone to book tickets. The physical service hall sales method and the electronic sales channel can make the ticket sales work of the Expo achieve "seamless".
