The closing ceremony of the 2020 Summer Olympics is scheduled to take place on the evening of Sunday 9 August 2020 in the Olympic Stadium, Tokyo.[1] As mandated by the Olympic Charter, the proceedings combined the formal ceremonial closing of this international sporting event (including closing speeches, hoisting of the flags, the parade of athletes and the handover of the Olympic flag) with an artistic spectacle to showcase the culture and history of the current and next host nation (France) for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Ticket prices for the Closing Ceremony will range between ¥12,000 and ¥300,000.[2]
