BRASILIA， June 20 (Xinhua) -- Tickets for the Olympic Games 2016， to be held in Rio de Janeiro in August， went on sale at box offices in shopping centers in the host city on Monday.
Prior to Monday， tickets had only been sold online via the sporting event's official website， according to national daily O Globo.
The first two ticket booths have been set up in the Leblon Shopping Center in the south and the Via Parque Shopping Center in the west， according to the daily.
These box offices work both for selling tickets and also for cancelling tickets bought online.
However， tickets bought at these fixed ticket booths will not have the same artwork as the tickets that are bought online. The design of the online tickets vary depending on the sport and are more commemorative than the ones bought at the fixed ticket stands.
In total， there will be 30 box offices set up around Rio de Janeiro and five other cities where the soccer matches will be played - Sao Paulo， Belo Horizonte， Salvador， Brasilia and Manaus， according to O Globo.
The opening details of the other ticket booths will be announced at a later date by the Rio 2016 Committee， said the article.
At these outlets， Brazilians and foreigners over 18-years-old can buy up to 120 tickets. Purchases can be made using cash or a Visa debit or credit card.
These ticket offices will be open until the end of the Paralympic Games in September， according to Brazilian online news site UOL.

LOS ANGELES Men's Nike Air VaporMax Plus Triple White Australia , April 27 (Xinhua) -- This small village in downtown Los Angeles is truly amazing: kitchen waste is used to fertilize vegetables, water is recycled, solar energy is applied to cook, and bicycling is the way to commute.
The Los Angeles Eco-Village Women's Nike Air VaporMax Plus Bleached Aqua Black Australia , situated in Koreatown in downtown Los Angeles, is the only eco-village in city in Southern California and was turned from an old building compound built in 1902.
"It is unique to have an eco-village in the urban area. I just want to have an impact to the whole state, the whole country and perhaps to all the people in this globe who want to protect the environment," Lois Arkin Men's Nike Vapormax Black Anthracite Australia , founder of the eco-village, told Xinhua.
Arkin had lived in the apartment building since 1980. In 1993, she turned the apartment building compound into an eco-village.
"It is not easy since I have no money but I have a vision. I think people live in this globe would finally realize that we should live in harmony with our neighbors and with our environment," said the 78-year old founder.
Arkin said the eco-village idea is in conformity with the eco-city movement that has started in the United States and some other countries.
About 50 households live in the apartment compound Women's Nike Air VaporMax Hyper Punch Australia , all of them strong supporters of environmental protection and prefer to live an eco life.
"People who live here intentionally demonstrate to the rest of the city that to change the way of life will contribute to the protection of our environment," said Arkin.
Residents of the village had set up the Los Angeles Eco-Village Intentional Community, where every one was willing to sacrifice luxury life style and contribute to the environment.
Lora Morrison, an active volunteer who lived in the compound Men's Nike Air VaporMax Moc Cool Grey Australia , had built a small chicken farm. She said she can get four eggs per day on average.
She also showed how people here turned kitchen waste into food for plant and grow their vegetables in the yard.
There was no air conditioning in her room. There was a heater but she said she seldom used it unless it was very cold in winter.
None of the residents had air conditioner, and hot water came from solar energy. Water from washing machines was collected to irrigate the yard.
Almost everyone owned a bike, but only few people had cars.
"People in the village prefer to walk or ride bikes to work or shopping. Car driving is very limited," said Morrison.
The garden of the village has become a model for education Men's Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit All Black Icy Blue Australia , where nearby school students come to learn hands-on experiences of eco life.
Michelle Wong, an acupuncture practitioner, volunteered to work in the garden for the past 15 years. She had planted many Chinese herbs as a way to let people learn Chinese medicine.
She said she would use some of the herbs she grew in the garden to treat her patients.
The eco-village was rather busy in April, the Earth Month Men's CLOT x Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit Red Black Australia , with open houses and lectures.
Yi Huang, visiting scholar from China at the University of La Verne, told Xinhua that she was impressed by the eco-village after the tour.
"We have concerns about the safety of food, water and air living in a modern society. After visiting the village Men's Nike Air VaporMax 2.0 Tan Cream Australia , I think every one living on this globe should do something to get rid of those worries," said Huang.
She said she found it was amazing that the eco-village was built in downtown Los Angeles, instead of some rural area.
It was a small village in a big city, which made Yi think of finding some space to grow vegetables and flowers when she went back to China.
"No space is no longer an excuse for me Men's Nike Air VaporMax 2.0 White Black Australia ," she said.
Yi believed that though the eco-village was not big, it would inspire people from other parts of the world to do similar things in their capacity.
The eco-village has attracted attention from researchers and scholars in the country and the City of Los Angeles has also supported efforts of the eco-villagers.
"Yesterday we welcomed a group of scholars from China, I think environmental protection is a global issue that should be dealt with by everyone living on earth," said Arkin.
