Organisers previously confirmed that no tickets would be sold to overseas spectators.
IOC says ‘groups of spectators’ will be invited to attend Games
Limited spectators will be allowed at next month’s Winter Olympics in Beijing, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced.
Tickets will not be sold to the general public but ‘groups of spectators’ will be present provided they adhere to the country’s strict coronavirus measures.
Effectively this means they will be selected to enter the so-called ‘closed loop’ system which will keep all Games personnel sealed off from Chinese society for the duration of the Games.

The IOC said in a statement: “Given the current situation of the Covid-19 pandemic, in order to ensure the safety of all participants and spectators, it has been decided that tickets should not be sold anymore but be part of an adapted programme that will invite groups of spectators to be present on site during the Games.
‘The organisers expect that these spectators will strictly abide by the Covid-19 countermeasures before, during and after each event so as to help create an absolutely safe environment for the athletes.’
Beijing organisers confirmed in September that no tickets would be sold to overseas spectators for the Games.
The Winter Olympics are scheduled to take place from 4th to 20th February, with the Paralympics getting underway on 4th March.
