Good to know
Event dates 11-19 September 2027 and National Stadium venue confirmed on worldathletics.org (WCH Beijing 27 marketing preparations article, published 16 December 2025); re-verified 2026-07-07. Ticketing model not yet published: the LOC marketing plan covers ticketing but gives no sales timeline, prices, or ballot/lottery mechanics, and the official Beijing27 news feed has no ticketing announcement. Chinese official and media channels checked 2026-07-07 also show no ticket sales schedule; the LOC's official new-media accounts say ticketing policy will be published there later. Estimated (inferred, dates_estimated=true): sales likely open late 2026 or in 2027; Tokyo 2025 used a domestic lottery plus a WA+ international presale, so a lottery phase for Beijing is plausible but unconfirmed. Recheck once the LOC launches the ticketing program.
