About 3.25 million tickets for the Paris 2024 Olympics were sold during the initial “Make Your Games” pack sales phase, marking the largest-ever sale of tickets in France.
The sports for which the most tickets were sold included soccer, athletics, rugby 7s, basketball and volleyball.
Two-thirds of ticket purchasers were French, 45% were women, and 44% were aged under 35. A total of 158 different countries were represented. Around half of the tickets cost €50 or less, while 4.5% were priced at €200 or more.
The second draw registration phase opens on Wednesday, 500 days before the Paris 2024 Olympics. Registration for the second phase’s draw runs from March 15 to April 20 with the sale itself beginning on May 11. Individual tickets will be available for all Olympic sports, including the most sought-after finals as well as opening and closing ceremonies. You can register at tickets.paris2024.org.
In total, 10 million tickets will be sold for next summer’s Olympics. About 80% will be made available on the official ticketing platform, while the other 20% is distributed to local authorities, various partners, broadcasters, and the sports community in France and abroad.
At the end of this year, the remaining tickets will be available for purchase on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. Paralympic Games ticketing will open this autumn.
Supposo no chance of 72 female pensioner n keen swimmer of geeting a ticket to swim event seems all gobbled for corporate.?
I just checked and I could buy tickets from the 26/02 (just realized now I’m so dumb).
When I tried to get tickets only 2 swimming prelims sessions were available. Nosebleeds for $250
Track and Field finals were for $700.
It was a few more for me, but basically the same. I live in Austria and due to my job I absolutely cannot take a vacation in July or August. So I’d have to fly to Paris for the weekend, which would be fine, but there wasn’t a single weekend ticket for anything, much less swimming, to be had during my registration window. I was very disappointed. Maybe I’ll have more luck during phase 2.
That’s two more swimming sessions than I had the option to select during my ticket window, which were ‘sold out’ at that point. Everything else was football qualifiers, indoor volleyball qualifiers, and the 690 euro track and field finals. At this point, I’m thinking we’ll skip the Olympics and just spend some time following the Tour de France through the mountains instead for our big summer trip of 2024.
Same for me. I am hoping that the finals sessions will go on sale during the upcoming round of single ticket sales.
