30.11.2023 - 17:09 / travelandleisure.com
Hundreds of thousands of tickets were released on Thursday for the Paris Olympics with the 2024 summer games just months away.
The Paris 2024 Organizing Committee released more than 400,000 new tickets for all Olympic and Paralympic sports, which were available on a first-come-first-served basis. The tickets are on sale for all sessions, including those that were previously sold out, and were first put on sale at 10 a.m. Central European Time, which was 4 a.m. ET.
Organizers said this is the last time before the games when tickets for all sessions will be available to purchase.
“All sports will be back on sale, for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, to experience up close the performances of the greatest athletes in the world, the iconic moments of the Games – including all the finals,” organizers wrote in a statement, adding, “With the end-of-year festivities just a few weeks away, this is a unique opportunity to gift — or treat yourself — to an exceptional experience, with tickets to the Paris 2024 Games.”
Tickets for the opening ceremony, for example, will start at €90 ($98.23) for the Olympic Games and start at €150 ($163.71) for the Paralympic Games. Tickets for swimming, which were previously sold out, range from as low as €24 ($26.19) for a morning session during the 50m freestyle heats to as much as €980 ($1,069.57) for the 50m freestyle final.
In total, about one-third of all tickets put on sale on Thursday will cost €50 ($54.57) or less. There is a maximum of 30 tickets per account in effect.
The 2024 Paris Olympics are set to kick off on July 26, 2024, and be played over dozens of different venues in and around Paris and beyond, including swimming competitions in the famous Seine. In anticipation of the demand, hotels in Paris have been hiking up their prices with nearly half of all hotel rooms already booked as of last month.
Americans who head across the pond may have the opportunity to visit the historic Palais Brongniart, which once housed the Paris Stock Exchange and will now be transformed into the Team USA House. Spectators who book an official hospitality and travel package can visit.
