This does not apply to fans who have purchased tickets outside Japan through so-called Authorized Ticket Resellers appointed by national Olympic committees. Many have already set terms for refunds, which vary by nation or territory.
“As the host there is a possibility that we may not be able to provide spectating opportunities to a part of the ticket holders,” Tokyo 2020 spokesman Masa Takaya said, speaking in Japanese during an on-line briefing. “In that case we will provide a refund.” The IOC and Tokyo organizers are running several task forces looking at ways to handle immigration and COVID-19. Japan has been relatively safe in the pandemic with about 1,750 deaths attributed to the coronavirus. But conditions elsewhere haven’t been as good.
The big question for Tokyo is: How to let 15,400 Olympic and Paralympic athletes into Japan, along with thousands of officials, judges, sponsors, media and broadcasters. Add to this the issue of fans. Will non-Japanese be allowed to attend? Or will it be only Japanese? Organizers say 4.48 million Olympic tickets have been sold in Japan, with 970,000 tickets for the Paralympics. Organizers say a total of 7.8 million Olympic tickets had been available overall.
Looking forward to seeing a guy shooting his gun inside his house today. My kids are thinking of trying it so they can get in sn! guns&sports
Good move
Surprising given that the IOC is corrupt as F**k
