Buyers outside Japan must get tickets from Authorized Ticket Resellers, companies appointed by national Olympic committees. They were authorized to begin sales on Thursday.

No the ticket window has already opened and closed according to the Co-Sport website. I never even got an email advising me of this so although I had registered an account with them. I will be in Tokyo for the Olympics, looks like I might not get in to see any events.

With much respect to those Japanese Americans who suffered in these internment camps, it was a very different situation that faced authorities in 1941 and it can be easy to judge based on 20-20 hindsight. Here in Australia we had internment camps for German, Italian and Japanese nationals and some Australian citizens were also caught up in the net. And some camps were used for both internees and prisoners of war.
