High-priced tickets for the Tokyo Olympics and Para change from first-come-first-served basis to partial lottery October 9 21:15
The Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee said that there were more inquiries than expected and the first-come-first-served basis was fairly implemented for the high-priced product called the “official hospitality package” that was sold on the first-come-first-served basis for Olympic games tickets. "It is difficult," he announced that some will be changed to lottery sales. The Organizing Committee says that “the outlook was poor”.
The official hospitality package is a product with luxury meals and drinks set in the ticket with business in mind, such as inviting business partners, and the highest price is such as the opening and closing ceremony and the 100m race men's 100m final Tickets include 6.35 million yen, the cheapest is 90,000 yen, and there are 191 types in total.
The Organizing Committee was entrusted to a private company to sell on a first-come-first-served basis on a dedicated website, but it is said that there are a lot of inquiries through a special form on products including the opening and closing ceremony.
For this reason, we announced that we have changed the sales method for some products whose inquiries exceed the planned number of sales from the first-come-first-served basis.
The Organizing Committee says, “There were more inquiries than expected, and it was difficult to implement the first-come-first-served basis fairly while preparing the supplier's system.
