Paris 2024 organisers have revealed plans for the Olympic Games\u2019 ticketing programme, which will include nearly half of all tickets available being priced at \u20ac50 (\u00a342\/$55) or less.<\/p>\n
The framework will be submitted to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) for validation by this summer.<\/p>\n
Some 13.4 million tickets will be for sale, with nearly 10 million for the Olympics and roughly 3.4 million tickets available for the Paralympics.<\/p>\n
Prices will start at just \u20ac24 for the Olympics in the French capital, with one million tickets available at this price, while tickets for the Paralympics will start at \u20ac15.<\/p>\n
According to organisers, it is also the first time in the history of the Games that a single online ticketing site will be used to sell all tickets for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, in France and internationally.<\/p>\n
The platform will be provided by ticketing and live entertainment providers CTS Eventim, France Billet and Orange Business Services. This platform will also provide a safe place for fans to resell tickets if needed.<\/p>\n
Paris 2024 organising committee president Tony Estanguet told the Associated Press<\/a> that the new system should \u201climit frustration\u201d for those trying to purchase tickets.<\/p>\n Traditionally, the host nation sold tickets to its residents and agencies handled ticket sales for the rest of the world. Now, a two-month registration will let potential buyers sign up for a lottery that gives winners a time slot for February 2023 to choose the tickets for multiple sports on the single platform.<\/p>\n Single tickets for events will go on sale in May 2023 followed by a third sales period towards the end of next year.<\/p>\n Estanguet told the\u00a0Reuters<\/a> news agency: \u201cIt\u2019s ambitious. We believe that the Paris 2024 Games will be unique. The ticketing programme represents one-third of our revenue. So it\u2019s really important for us to maximise this programme.\u201d<\/p>\n Image: Alexander Kagan<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
