The 2008 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony will conclude the Beijing Games on August 24, 2008. It is scheduled to begin at 8:00pm China Standard Time (UTC+8), and to take place at the Beijing National Stadium.
British singer Leona Lewis is scheduled to perform at the closing ceremony, representing the change from Beijing to London.
The Ceremony will also include the handover of the games from Beijing to London. Guo Jinlong, the Mayor of Beijing will hand over the Olympic flag to the Mayor of London Boris Johnson, and there will be a performance by the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG).

Anyway, my friends in China told me that the ticket to the Bird's Nest is cut-throat and only the richer family can afford to pay for it. And the ticket is entitled to be sold one to each person. Wow~ It was a great and superb opening ceremony on 8th of August; so, we are hoping for the best to come for the closing ceremony! Bravo, China!
