Beijing Olympics Tickets will not be Sold to General Public

INTERNATIONAL: Tickets for the Winter Olympics set to begin on February 4 will be distributed to "targeted" groups of people or selected “expectators”and will not be sold to the general public due to COVID-19, the organising commitee has announced on Monday , 17 January.

Only “selected” spectators will be permitted at next month’s Beijing Olympics because of the coronavirus pandemic, organizers said Monday.

Beijing had already announced that no fans from outside the country would be permitted at the events, and had not offered tickets to the general public.

Monday’s announcement posted on the organizing committee’s website confirmed expectations that the Winter Games would have few onlookers at the venues, under even more strict conditions than imposed during last year’s Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

China has largely avoided major virus outbreaks with a regimen of lockdowns, mass testing for COVID-19 and travel restrictions, although it continues to fight surges in several cities, including the port of Tianjin, about an hour from Beijing.
