Paris 2024 has taken out its hood, its white beard and its red cap. For the end-of-year celebrations, the Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Cojop) is putting on sale 400,000 new tickets for the Olympic Games (from July 26 to August 11) and a few thousand for the Paralympic edition ( from August 28 to September 8). From Thursday, November 30 at 10 a.m., it will be possible to obtain tickets on the official Paris 2024 platform. “for all sports and all sessions”, promise the organizers. Including for the opening ceremony on the Seine or for events that have already sold out, such as urban sports (3×3 basketball, BMX, skateboarding and breaking) at La Concorde or the various cycling events.
Among these 400,000 new Olympic tickets (including 370,000 for events in Ile-de-France), 70,000 will be offered at 24 euros, and almost two-thirds at less than 100 euros. The rule is simple: no draw, first come first served. Still with this limit of 30 tickets per buyer account, applicable since the sale in packs at the end of winter 2023, which had generated a lot of frustration and controversy over the high price of places. The organizers, who praise the Games “accessible” et “popular”have since recognized communication errors in this first sales phase.
Be careful, however, with the scarcity of the offer offered. “This is the last opportunity before the Games to have access to all sessions in all disciplines”warns Michaël Aloïsio, deputy general director of Paris 2024. The tickets to follow the day of competition of judoka Teddy Riner (+ 100 kg) were thus sold in less than two hours during the first phase of single sales just before summer.
After the end-of-year holidays, the only solutions remaining will be the tickets that Paris 2024 continues to market over time until the Games or the resale platform, which will be open in the spring.
The 400m medley final with Marchand, from 85 euros

A few hundred places will also be available in each category – from 90 euros and up to 2,700 euros (4,000 remain at this price) – for the opening ceremony on the Seine. As well as new ranges of hospitality offered by On Location, in athletics or sailing, in Marseille, which combine privileged access to competitions and high-end services.

Resale platform in spring
Classic in the staggered sales system for major sporting events, this new “release” of tickets is also made possible by the refinement of the contingencies of the International Olympic Committee in terms of audiovisual broadcasting in particular. Reducing the location of the cameras thus frees up more places for sales, for example.

When asked about the risk of no show of ticket holders in the stands – empty seats at the Roland-Garros tennis tournament are a disaster every year in terms of images – the organizers say that the resale platform in the spring should make it possible to “reduce risk”. “It worked very well during the Rugby World Cup”argues Damien Rajot, director of ticketing at Paris 2024.
Cojop says it has already sold a little more than 7.2 million of the 10 million tickets it aims to market for the Olympic Games. However, no figures were given for Paralympic ticketing, launched on October 9. Paris 2024, which plans to sell 2.8 million next summer – compared to 2.7 million in London in 2012 – will make an initial assessment after the end-of-year holidays, emphasizing that the bulk of sales for Paralympic Games are happening “in the home stretch”during the Olympic Games, when the competitions make you want to continue the experience at the Paralympic edition.
