Beijing Olympics to be attended by 150,000 spectators outside the ‘bubble’
Approximately 150,000 people living outside the ‘closed loop’ will be able to attend the Beijing Olympics, Yang Shuan, Vice President of the Olympic Games Organising Committee, stated during the International Olympic Committee (IOC) session – TASS reports
In January, the organising committee scrapped the sale of tickets because of the situation with the coronavirus to distribute them among certain groups of people.
The organising committee explained noted that the spectators will also include people living outside the ‘closed loop’, where all participants of the Olympics live. They will contribute to about half of all seats.
“The invited spectators will be drawn from international friends residing in China’s mainland, members of diplomatic missions and marketing partners, school children, local residents, and winter sports enthusiasts,” said Yang Shuan.
