Second - Round Paralympic Ticket Sales Begin


Second-round Paralympic ticket sales begin

People living in Japan have another chance to buy tickets for this summer's Tokyo Paralympic Games.

The event's organizing committee began accepting applications on its website on Wednesday. People can apply for up to 18 tickets for each of their first and second choices. Results will be determined by lottery.

At a promotional event in Tokyo, a canoeing athlete who plans to compete in the games said she wants many people to come watch, and that their cheers will provide a tailwind for athletes.

The committee says it aims to sell more than six hundred thousand tickets.
