With more than 10 million entry tickets expected to be issued, starting next year, the committee had also already asked the Japanese government and lawmakers for legislation to clamp down on scalpers.
"It will affect the Games' reputation. We want to create a framework through which we can thoroughly crack down on people reselling tickets obviously for a profit," an official of the organising committee was quoted as saying by Kyodo.
Ticket sales for the 2016 Rio Olympics were sluggish due to a scalping ring, which was uncovered by the police at the event.
Ireland's former Olympic chief Patrick Hickey, among others, was indicted for involvement in the scandal.
