Tickets for the Games, the second largest in the world after the Olympics, will be available worldwide and 87 per cent of them will range from $1.50 (90p) to $58.00 (£35). 
 
Ticket prices for the opening and closing ceremonies range from $234.24 (£140.49) to $995.52 (£597.11).
 
There will be more than two million tickets available to the public all over the world, as the 42 sports of the Games will take place in 53 venues.
 
Yuan Yue, the deputy director of the marketing department of the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee (GAGOC), the strategy is based on extensive market research and statistical analysis, comparison of ticket prices at previous Olympic Games, Asian Games and other major international sporting events and consideration of the local market.
 
The programme was approved at the Chefs de Mission seminar held in Guangzhou earlier this month.

More than 14,000 athletes, trainers and coaches from 45 countries and regions will compete at the Games, which are due to open on November 12, 2010, and finish on November 27.
 
Organisers have divided ticket sales into three stages, the first will start in January 2010.
