Post subject: Special Olympics free of charge?

Wow, difficult to find information on the Special Olympics. I hope someone here knows. Living a few blocks away from Shanghai Stadium, I feel I should go there at least once.
I heard all sports events are free of charge. Does that mean you can just walk in and out? And how about the opening ceremony. Do I need tickets for that? If so, where can I get them?
