TOKYO - Holders of tickets for the Tokyo Olympics face an anxious wait as the Games have been postponed to 2021, following media reports they might not get a refund in case of a postponement or cancellation.

Tokyo 2020 haven’t confirmed how many tickets have been sold but in the bidding process, organizers said over seven million seats would be available. All domestic tickets for the Olympics have been sold, according to organizers.

In the most recent Games budget from December 2019, organizers said US$800 million had been raised through ticket sales.

Now, that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he and International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach had agreed to postpone the Tokyo Olympics until no later than the summer of 2021, ticket holders are worried about what this means for them.

Last week, the Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported tickets might not be refundable, citing Olympic organizers and contractual details connected to the tickets.

Kokoro Yamada has two tickets for the closing ceremony, which have cost her 440,000 yen (US$3,980).

Yamada turns 30 the day after the Games' original closing ceremony on August 9 and the tickets were a present to herself.

“In case of postponement, it is a little disappointing because the closing ceremony is the day before my birthday... so I was thinking it would be a very special day,” she said.

Yamada said she has read through the tickets terms and conditions several times but still cannot work out what postponement would mean.

When previously contacted about ticket refunds, Tokyo 2020 organizers said they were monitoring the situation.

“The terms and conditions do not state that ‘tickets cannot be refunded’, so the article is not accurate,” Tokyo 2020 organizers said.

Another Tokyoite, Keiko Morita, has spent approximately 2 million yen on tickets, including for the opening ceremony.

Despite being worried over the inconvenience postponement would cause her, Morita can go next year and understands the world is going through an unprecedented crisis.

“Of course it would be disappointing... but of course this crisis is happening all over the world,” said Morita, who lives in Tokyo.

“It is not just about me and about the Olympics. There are many people in pain so we must accept it.”

Others are less certain they will be able to attend a rearranged Games.

“I am worried about what I should do. I adjusted my schedule and bought them,” said businesswoman Manari Osaki.

“If the Olympic games are postponed, it will mess up my plans and I may not be able to go see the Games.”
