The organizers of next year's Tokyo Paralympics will begin accepting online applications for tickets on Thursday.
The official website for Paralympics tickets will go live early Thursday. The tickets are being sold through a lottery system.
Applicants must register to get a "Tokyo 2020 ID," which is also needed to buy tickets for Olympic events. About 7.6 million people had registered as of August 1.
The maximum number of tickets each applicant will be able to purchase is 30.
Applications will be accepted through 11:59 a.m. on September 9. Lottery results will be announced on October 2.
The Games' organizing committee is urging applicants to be careful, because the official ticket website for the Paralympics is different from that for the Olympics.
