Tokyo 2020 receives unprecedented demand for Paralympic Games tickets www.theguardian.com

London is seen as the benchmark for the IPC in terms of interest in the Games with a record total of 2.7m tickets sold.
It is an unprecedented number, three times more than in London [one year before the start of Games] and London was the most successful Paralympic Games so far.
[This] shows the appetite that Japanese society has for the Olympic Games next year.“About 600,000 tickets were allocated during the first lottery.
In Tokyo 2020’s bid for the Games, organisers said there would only be 2.3m tickets for the Paralympics but organisers are hopeful more tickets will be made available.
“It is a positive surprise and it is paying off all the efforts, not only of the IPC but also Tokyo 2020, the levels of government, the media and Japanese society,” said Parsons.
