The Potala Palace official website booking system switched off from 24th October, stopping all online ticket sales. Currently, tourists no longer need to book Potala Palace tickets in advance; you can purchase tickets on the day by showing a valid ID, latest news from the Potala Palace Management Office reveals.

From 1st November Potala Palace will implement a seasonal ticket policy. Low season ticket prices: full price is 100 yuan; discount tickets are 50 yuan (must hold discount documents) and children less than 1.2 meters tall can visit free of charge.

Pay special attention to the suitability of Potala Palace discount tickets. Students with a student ID and ID card, disabled people with a disability certificate, servicemen with a military card, teachers with a teaching certificate and the elderly with senior citizen cards can all enjoy half-price tickets.
