A system will be implemented so that spectators from other parts of Argentina and abroad can pick up their Pass upon arrival in Buenos Aires.

The Parks and stadiums will have a maximum capacity limit to guarantee that the first Olympic competition in Argentina will be a memorable one. 

For that reason, a first come, first serve system will be used, giving preference to those who arrive first.

For families, one person can register up to three family members. 

An authorised third party will be able to pick up the passes.

The first Summer Youth Olympic Games outside of Asia will be held over 12 days with 4,000 athletes due to compete in 32 sports. 

There will be 29 venues hosting 286 disciplines.

The Youth Olympic Parks will also be home to a historic cultural celebration with 800 educational activities and 468 sport initiation sessions.
