Less than six months before the opening ceremony, the Organizing Committee for the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games (Cojop) is putting on sale, Thursday February 8, from 10 a.m., a new round of tickets for the Olympic Games (July 26 to August 11) and Paralympic Games (August 28 to September 8). At the end of November 2023, Tony Estanguet’s teams had already “relaxed”depending on the term used, more than 400,000 tickets for the Olympics.
How much this time? “Several tens of thousands”replies laconically the Cojop, which specifies that all sports will be open for sale, including for sessions already sold out [épuisées], like breaking on the Place de la Concorde. In addition, 45% of these new tickets will be sold for less than 100 euros.
However, be careful of false hopes, the volumes released for certain disciplines will be very limited. You therefore have little chance, for this price, of treating yourself to a match of the “Dream Team”, the United States basketball team and its NBA stars, in Lille, or of seeing French handball players in action. , freshly crowned European champions. But you can now, on the official website of the Paris 2024 ticket officepay for a ticket from 30 euros to attend a football match between the Blues – perhaps with Kylian Mbappé – in Marseille (July 24 and 30) and Nice (July 27) or Wendie Renard’s Bleues, in Lyon (July 25 and 31) and Saint-Etienne (July 28).
The rule is simple: no draw, first come first served, within the limit of 30 tickets, taking into account the seats already purchased by the same account during the previous ticketing phases. At the end of November, the 400,000 new sesames were sold in a little over twenty-four hours. So, on February 8, beware of late risers and dizzy heads…
Nearly 8 million tickets already sold
Tickets for the four Games ceremonies will also be sold on Thursday, specifies the organizing committee, including for the closing of the Paralympic Games, on September 8 at the Stade de France, from 45 euros.
Tony Estanguet’s teams add that over the coming months they will be carrying out new regular sales of tickets for all the sports of the Games, which they are calling “the surprise appointments of the Paris 2024 ticket office”. They will only be announced a few days in advance to avoid frustration, discontent and… to maintain demand.
Of the 10 million tickets available for the Olympic Games – 2.8 million for the Paralympic edition – nearly 8 million have already been sold, welcomes Cojop. A resale platform will also be open in the spring, accessible from the official ticketing website. With perhaps the key to seats at 24 euros, so sought after.
