Ticket Selling Process and the Price

The ticket selling process for Tokyo 2020 has been announced.

Notice!
This is the information only for residents in Japan.


SCHEDULE

The First Chance - after April 2019
Online application and Lottery

You can apply for tickets through the Tokyo 2020 ID site from April this year.
(You need to register the ID in advance.)
Then, lottery is conducted and you are informed if you get the tickets or not after mid of June.

The Second Chance - Autumn 2019
Online application on a first-come-first-served basis

The Third (and Final) Chance - Spring 2020
Over-the-counter sale


I think that tickets of popular events are sold out at the first chance.
It seems to be difficult to get tickets you want.

(frm: https://tokyo2020.org)

Although many TV news reported that online sales will start in April, the TOCOG still shows vague expression.
Look at the chart above.
Although it's already 2019, they still say "2019 spring, fall..."
Here in Japan, spring is supposed to start around March. Next month! Announce the specific month!!


PRICE

There are 5 classes for each event, A - E.

The opening ceremony is, A is 300,000 JPY and E is 12,000 JPY.
I wonder if seat E is enough to feel the atmosphere of the ceremony. Or it might be disappointing?

The highest is ticket A of the Track & Field Final, 130,000. Its ticket E is quite reasonable, 5,800. Hmm,,, Seat E is... almost impossible to see each athlete?

I want to see the opening ceremony and swimming.

The details are here.
Because the TOCOG doesn't provide the English page of it (as usual), the above is the Japanese site.

For your information, there are old information of the price in the English site.
Those were published last summer. very old info.
So it doesn't include the prices by classes.
