Pricing during special events

Hello. I'm running an airbnb in Tokyo and I'm wondering about pricing trends world-wide during special events because of the 2020 Olympics. By what percentage do prices typically increase during special events? Olympics, soccer World Cups, other major sporting events, conventions etc.

I believe prices can easily double.  And you might consider longer minimum stay.  I set a week minimum during the upcoming cycling WC in September 2017 and 50% increase in my rate.  Already booked 🙂
