CoSport is a part of Jet Set Sports, which was founded in its original form in 1975 and first provided hospitality services to the Olympics in 1984, and is one of the leading providers of VIP and corporate Olympic hospitality packages.[3]
In March 2021, CoSport announced that people who purchased tickets for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics from the company would not be refunded the 20% service fee, with Alan Dizdarević saying "There's nothing to give back of the 20%, because it's all been spent."[4] The reason given was that the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games only agreed to refund the face value of the tickets to resellers and would not cover an associated loss of service fees.[5]
