Is it still possible to get tickets at 24 euros?
YES BUT... If you want to get tickets at 24 euros, it won't be difficult.
As of February 27, only football (but not at the Parc des Princes), sailing and golf still offer a few tickets at the lowest price.
These are the only three disciplines to do so.
Some sports, such as athletics, offer ultra-consequent prices.
For the August 2 session from 5:40 p.m. to 10 p.m., for example, places at 85, 195 or even 385 euros are no longer available.
Only tickets at 690 euros each can still be purchased.
How to participate in the second phase of sales?
The second phase, which will begin on May 11, will be different from the first.
From March 15, and until April 20, it will be possible to register to take part in the next draw, but it is already possible to create an account on the Paris 2024 website. Single tickets will be available, putting aside the shambles of creating packs.
People drawn during the first phase are automatically registered for the second draw.
How many tickets will be available?
If today, many sessions are no longer available, this should not be the case during the second phase.
At least, at first.
“Paris 2024” should put tickets already on sale during the first phase on sale, and at the same price.
It will also be possible to obtain, unlike the first phase, places for the "flagship" events such as the 100 meters of athletics or the finals of team sports tournaments.
For these events, the price has not yet been communicated.
Each person can buy a maximum of thirty tickets, over the two phases.
The last chance draw?
Without being very specific yet, "Paris 2024" mentioned a third and final phase for unsold tickets, which should be held in autumn 2023. It is also during this period that it will be possible to buy the first tickets. for the Paralympic Games (August 28-September 8, 2024).
A total of 3.4 million places will be made available, without drawing lots.
