Now, there is word that American fans who have already purchased tickets to attend the Tokyo Games will not receive a full refund for the purchases they have made.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports by the Associated Press and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidethegames.biz\/articles\/1106006\/atr-us-handling-fee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Inside the Games<\/a>, CoSport, the Authorized Ticket Reseller (ATR) in the United States will only refund the face value of tickets purchased. What it won&#8217;t refund is the 20% handling fee that it charges, which is a sum that can add up quickly depending on the ticket package that was purchased. For ticket holders who purchased $2000 in tickets, CoSport&#8217;s policy means the buyer will be out $400.<\/p>\n<p>CoSport, which also operates as the ATR in Australia and several other countries, is blaming the Japanese government and Tokyo Organizing Committee for its decision, claiming those entities have dictated the terms and conditions of ticket purchasing. Meanwhile, refunds for the face value of tickets are not expected to be delivered to customers until later this year.<\/p>\n<p>When the Games are held in a few months, only Japanese spectators will fill the stands as a precaution against the further spread of COVID-19 by traveling international fans.<\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cosport USA sends email detailing their refund policy for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Tokyo2020?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Tokyo2020<\/a>.
