While countries are divided over the hosting of the Tokyo Olympics, the issue of refunding Entry tickets this time is controversial.
Even if the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in Japan, which are scheduled to be held in July, are canceled due to a new coronavirus infection (Covid-19), tickets will not be refundable
Tickets for the Tokyo Olympics have sold a total of 5.08 million tickets so far and 1.65 million for the Paralympics, bringing in about 90 billion yen (about 1.3 billion Australian dollars)
According to the Asahi Newspaper on the 18th, the terms and conditions of the purchase of tickets for the Tokyo Olympics read, "If the company fails to fulfill its obligations determined under the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games ticket regulations, the company will not be held responsible for non-compliance if the cause is unavoidable."
Regarding "force majeure," the ministry called it "a number of reasons that do not fall under the control of the party's legal entities, such as natural disasters, wars, riots, rebellion, rebellion, terrorist attacks, explosions, floods, theft, and maritime affairs, emergency situations related to public health, climate change, and acts of state or local public organizations."
According to officials at the Tokyo Olympics, the organizing committee will not refund the tickets, believing that the cancellation of the Tokyo Olympics would constitute an "urgent situation related to public hygiene."
With the spread of the Covid-19 worldwide, there are predictions that the upcoming Summer Olympics will be difficult to carry out as scheduled, but Tokyo is showing its strong commitment to hosting the summit.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, after holding video talks with G7 leaders on Wednesday, claimed that the G7 supported the idea of pursuing the Tokyo Olympics intact as evidence of the human race winning the coronavirus.
According to a survey conducted by Japanese sports media, however, 80 percent of the respondents in Japan said the Tokyo Olympics should be postponed or canceled.
