Expo 2020 has announced great value tickets and extensive concessions for the next World Expo, set to attract millions of people from around the globe for six months of entertainment, innovation, discovering and, crucially, fun.

A single-day adult ticket (aged 18 and over) will cost AED 120 (USD 33) and give access to 60 live daily shows, future-shaping technologies, performances by world-famous artists, parades, cutting-edge innovations and architecture, special celebrations and more than 200 F&B outlets serving more than 50 cuisines.

It is unlikely that one visit will be enough. A three-day pass – which costs AED 260 (USD 71) and can be used on any three days of the 173-day event – lets visitors discover Expo 2020’s 4.38 sqkm site, including the Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability districts and the 192 Country Pavilions. The great value ticketing also grants complimentary access for people of determination, while their carers enter for half price. Children aged five and below enter for free, as do seniors aged 65 and over, while youngsters aged six to 17 and students of all ages will get a 50 per cent discount.

With less than 550 days to go until the first World Expo to be held in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region, Expo 2020 revealed its ticket prices at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2019 held in Dubai.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public in April 2020, although visitors will be able to buy monthly and season passes directly from Expo from Q4 2019 – details to be announced later. Single-day and three-day tickets will be offered to international travellers in bundled packages to be sold by Authorised Ticket Resellers, contracted with Expo 2020 starting May 2019.

In our endeavor to provide you with an environment of safe and secure banking, we would like to give you an insight about “Magic Pen” (Pen with Erasable Ink) method used by fraudsters, posing as bank representatives to dupe customers. This fraudulent activity appears to be continuing and hence we wish to reiterate the precautions that you need to take to safeguard yourself from such fraudsters.
These fraudsters ask customers to complete the Loan / Credit Card applications and request for a cheque from you to be used as “Security Cheque”. The fraudster fills up the details on the cheque in your presence using his magic pen and requests you to sign the cheque.
Subsequently, the details of beneficiary and amount in the cheque are altered since it was filled up with the magic pen, which allows the details entered to be erased without a trace. The cheque is then encashed by fraudsters using assistance of third parties.
What should you do if you are approached by a representative of a bank selling a Credit Card or Personal Loan?
• Please ask the representative to identify himself and check his photo ID card issued by the bank.
• Do not hand a blank security cheque. Please fill in all details in the cheque including name of the beneficiary (which should be the bank’s name) and amount with your own pen.
• Do not use the pens provided by the other party to fill in details of the cheque or loan / card documents.
• If in doubt contact the concerned bank on their land line and confirm that the representative indeed works for the bank he claims to represent.
Further, kindly note that the Bank will never ask you to share your banking credentials or log in to an email link to claim a prize, refund or update your account details to avoid closure. Please do not respond with such information to any email, SMS or WhatsApp message claiming to be from the bank.
