Summer Olympic Games 2020 Tickets, Trips and Experiences


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

Hi all,

 

Tickets for the Olympic Games will be on sale soon and as I'm a Swede living in Thailand I was thinking about travelling to Tokyo (as the flights are super cheap) and purchase tickets on site. I am aware that the pre "raffle" is for Japan residents only but does anyone know if it will be possible for non residents to buy tickets over the counter eg. in Tokyo?

 

Reason for me thinking about doing this is that we are 5 people who will be going and I believe that the dedicated "partner" whom will be selling the tickets in Sweden will be at highly inflated prices; thus 7-10 events times five people will se the purchase (if possible) on site money well spent.

 

TIA

This should help you out: https://tokyo2020.org/en/get-involved/spectators/ 

 

This is my first time attempting to attend as well. Essentially there will be a ticket reseller in Thailand that you buy your tickets from. They have not released the official prices yet, but expect tickets to cost somewhere between US $30 - US $150 per event session. 

 

Also, welcome to the forum. Hopefully you send sometime in our other topics as well as we travel down the Road to Tokyo 2020.

Thank you for the welcome!

 

I'm not a Thai resident, only on a very long holiday. Even if it was possible for me to purchase via the Thai reseller, I believe that the prices, as they will via the Swedish reseller cosport, will be highly inflated. Thus the option of going to  Tokyo  (which is below 200 euros return) is a very interessting option. So my main query remain: will I as a non Japan resident be able purchasing tickets in Japan over the counter or at the vending machines that will by put in place when the tickets go on sale?

I can’t really understand the Japanese resident process well. However from my understanding, If you live in Japan (and I believe they make you prove residency) you apply on the website for tickets. However in a bid to make sure all citizens have a fair chance the see the games, Japanese citizens apply for the events they want to see. Then a lottery will be held with the “winners” gaining the tickets for that event.

Again, thanks for the reply! And, yes, I am aware of the resident lottery aplication process. What I'm qurious about, is that when the tickets go on sale in Japan; via the many vending machines and such, will I an a non Japan resident be able to purchase via these types of outlets?

I have absolutely no clue about that.

I have to say that the schedule is very bad for german fans ...

June 29: Swimming women's 1500 m freestyle final and rowing women's double sculls final at the same time

June 30: Swimming men's 800 m freestyle final + swimming men's 200 m breast final + swimming 200 m women's fly final and rowing men's lightweight double sculls final all at the same time

June 31: Swimming men's 200 m IM final and rowing men's single sculls final + rowing men's eight final and shooting women's 25 m air pistol final all at the same time

August 02:

In the morning: Swimming men's 1500 m freestlye and shot put women's final at the same time

In the evening: Gymnastics women's uneven bars final and men's high jump final + women's triple jump final at the same time

August 03:

Around noon: Shooting men's 25 m rapid fire pistol + track cycling women's team sprint final at the same time

In the evening: Eventing team and invidual final + women's 5000 m final and women's discus throw final at the same time

August 04: Athletics women's 200 m final and gymnastics women's balance beam final at the same time

August 05: Athletics women's 3000 m SC final and equestrian individual jumping final at the same time

It will be very hard to find a schedule, especially because i have no clue how long it will actually take to get from one venue to another ...

Tickets aren’t to bad in terms of prices by the way. I did not have to sell my kidney on the black market to afford them. I’ll post what I’m going to see after my tickets get confirmed.

Either the ticket prices are different in the US or you just have too much money ... :mumble:

In Germany you have to pay over 900 € for one single athletics/swimming session category A and for one single session category B you also have to pay more than 600 €.

For a single semifinals/finals session in fencing category A (2 semifinals and 2 finals per weapon) you have to pay more than 100 €.

For rowing and other less sports the prices are decent, but i hesitate to pay that much money for one single athletics/swimming session, especially Germany will only be represented in a fracture of the finals contested during that session.

Right now i think that i will try to get tickets for the opening ceremony, one swimming session, one athletics session, 1 or 2 rowing sessions, at least one track cycling session, one gymnastics session, one basketball session and maybe one archery/shooting session and/or one slalom canoeing session.

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
