Question from Adele
Can I still buy a ticket for the Olympics?
Hello Adele,
It really depends on your situationand your participation or not in the draw to access the Games store. You had to register before April 20. on the Paris 2024 site, to hope to have the opportunity to buy its precious sesame during the 2nd phase of sales, after the first in February.
If you are one of the four million people who signed up before this deadline, then you should receive, in case of selection, an email from this Tuesday, May 9, before the start of sales this Thursday, May 11.
There are several sales sessions, so you can still hope to receive an email in the next few days, always within 48 hours of the opening of your purchase window.
Note that this time, there are certainly fewer tickets on sale than in February, with 1.5 million tickets available, but they are no longer sold in “pack” of several sports, but well in individual.
Finally, let’s get to the annoying question: how much will it cost? There are big differences: some tickets in each sport will be offered from 24€, but this can quickly climb to a good hundred euros to be well positioned or to attend finals, and the prices will even go up to 2,700 € to have a very good place during the opening ceremony on the Seine, on July 26, 2024.
What if I didn’t participate in the draw?
In case of non-participation in the draw, or if you are simply not selected, you will have to wait. The next sales phases will take place at the end of the year, with the opening of tickets for the Paralympic Games, and the remaining tickets for the Olympic Games. Clear, we will have to make do with what is left.
Last hope, an official ticket resale platform will be put in place, with capped prices to avoid excesses.
Finally, it should be noted that in accordance with its commitments, the Olympic Committee will distribute certain places free of charge, based on social criteria. We have no further details on this subject at this time.
Good day,
Writing.
