Additionally, spectators who certify that they have attended games will receive up to 20,000 won per person in 'Tamna Nejeon', the Jeju local currency.

These digital tickets can be applied for through the official National Sports Festival website, and once issued, can be immediately checked in the Naver Pay Wallet. Eligibility for issuance is limited to Korean nationals aged 14 or older, based on Naver Pay Wallet requirements. Children under 14 may attend the opening ceremony and enter game venues with their accompanying family members without a separate ticket.

The local currency 'Tamna Nejeon' will be provided in the amount of 10,000 won each time spectators certify their attendance at the opening or closing ceremony or at each event venue, with a maximum of 20,000 won per person.

Attendance at the opening and closing ceremonies will be verified through a smartphone scan upon entry, while at general event venues, spectators will authenticate their visit by tapping their smartphones on an on-site NFC (Near Field Communication) tag.

The received 'Tamna Nejeon' can be freely used at affiliated local businesses, including restaurants, cafes, and traditional markets around the venues.

Additionally, NFT digital ticket holders will receive free admission or a 50% admission fee discount at 24 designated public tourist attractions in Jeju.

Jeju Province will conduct advance system checks and establish on-site guidance and real-time response systems throughout all stages from ticket issuance to entry, attendance verification, and benefit provision, in order to minimize inconvenience for spectators.

Hong Hojin, Chief of the National Sports Festival Planning Division for Jeju Province, stated, "The NFT digital ticket program is a mutual benefit participation initiative designed for spectators to support athletes while enjoying all that Jeju has to offer. We will do our utmost to ensure this sports festival becomes a successful event and invigorates the local economy."
