Paris 2024 organisers have revealed that 3.25 million tickets were sold during the first \u2018Make Your Games\u2019 pack sales phase. <\/p>\n
According to organisers, this is the largest ever sale of tickets in France.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For the first time<\/a> in the history of the Olympic Games, tickets were available from a single platform, with purchase timeslots allocated through a draw.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This helped to manage the flow of buyers and limited major waiting times. Organisers said that this helped to create a relatively smooth experience.<\/p>\n French Olympic fans made up two thirds of ticket buyers, with the rest made up of representatives from 158 different countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n During the first onsale, 45% of buyers were women and 44% were aged under 35.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tickets were available to purchase in packs to promote the diversity of sports on offer. Tickets for climbing and BMX freestyle sold out on the first day, while tickets for fencing, judo, breaking and track cycling sold out within just a few days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The sports for which the most tickets were sold included football, athletics, rugby 7s, basketball and volleyball.<\/p>\n Nearly half of the tickets for the Paris 2024 Olympics were available at \u20ac50 (\u00a344\/$53) or less, with prices starting as low as \u20ac24.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, buyers have voiced their frustration over how expensive it is to purchase a pack of three sports. A recent poll<\/a> found that four out of five French people thought that tickets for next year\u2019s event were too expensive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
