More than 80 percent of the Tokyo Olympic venues will have “zero audience” due to a rebound of the CCP virus pandemic in Japan.

Muto Toshiro, secretary-general of the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee, suggested that the estimated ticket revenue was initially 90 billion yen ($817 million), and it would now plummet to several billion yen. “There is no doubt that the organizing committee will barely make ends meet,” Toshiro said.
