Tokyo Olympic : Tokyo Olympics to allow up to 10,000 local fans to attend at venues

The Tokyo Olympics will allow some local fans to attend when the games open in just over a month, organizing committee officials and the IOC said on Monday. Organizers set a limit of 50% of capacity up to a maximum of 10,000 fans for all Olympic venues. The decision was announced after so-called Five Party talks online with local organizers, the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee, the Japanese government and the government of metropolitan Tokyo. Organizers say between 3.6-3.7 million tickets are in the hands of Japanese residents. The Tokyo Games are set to open on July 23.
