Getting tickets for the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020 is becoming a very difficult task. On Wednesday, the organizers of the Olympics said that they had received 20 million applications for the recent ticket lottery only by Japanese residents. Sadly though, only 10 lakh tickets are available for this. In such a situation, most of the people applying will have to remain empty handed, they are disappointing for the people.

There is a competition in Japan for next year's Olympic tickets. The organizers have told that earlier 30 lakh 57 thousand tickets were given to local residents of Japan through lottery. The organizers have stated that this is the first time the demand for tickets is 20 times more than the availability. During this time requests have been received for about six crore tickets. The next lottery for Olympic tickets will be drawn early next year, which will be distributed to non-Japanese applicants in addition to Japan on a first-come, first-served basis.

According to the organizers, about 70 lakh 80 thousand tickets will be available for sale for all the Olympic events, out of which at least 70 percent tickets will be given to Japanese residents. The most expensive tickets for the inauguration ceremony to be held on July 24 are 300,000 yen (about one lakh 94 thousand rupees) while the closing ceremony tickets cost 220000 yen (about one lakh 42 thousand rupees).
