1.1.           A WORD FROM TONY ESTANGUET


Join us and share unforgettable experiences and emotions.

Witnessing the Games in the flesh, in a stadium, is the experience of a lifetime, one that brings with it a multitude of inspirational and unforgettable moments that unite us. Our slogan, 'Games wide open’, is an invitation to the world to join us, and to experience new emotions together. It is an invitation to gather in full stadiums, alongside spectators from all walks of life - families, young people, enthusiasts or simply the curious - to cheer on the world's greatest athletes and to make memories of a lifetime.

Almost 10 million tickets will be put on sale for the Olympic Games. With this guide, we aim to help you optimise your chances of getting tickets so that you can say, ‘I was there’. Read it carefully with family and friends, share it. It will tell you everything you need to know about the first phase of sales and about the draw to access 'Make Your Games' packs.

We look forward to sharing the thrill of the Games with you. Make sure you get there!

TIPS FROM THE COACH

Do not purchase tickets via unauthorised channels. No other site has permission to sell tickets for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The only official site is this one. If you come across any other site selling tickets for Paris 2024, be aware. It is not a legitimate sales platform.

3.   THE FIRST TWO KEY DATES

MAKE YOUR GAMES PACKS

15 February to 15 March 2023 : available via a draw (sign up from 1 December 2022 to 31 January 2023)

SINGLE TICKETS

Circa May 2023 : accessible via a draw

The draws allocate successive purchase timeslots to those selected at random, giving them access to the tickets sales during a given period of time.

TIPS FROM THE COACH

Club Paris 2024 members that are successful in the draw could benefit from the priority access to the sale of ‘Make Your Games’ packs, with access reserved exclusively for them during the first four days of ticket sales. Purchase timeslots will be allocated to everyone else selected in the draw from 19 February, regardless of whether they are members of Club Paris 2024 or not.

3.1 MAKE YOUR GAMES PACKS

3.1.1. What are Make Your Games packs ?

Make Your Games packs – it’s your chance to create your own Games by choosing three sessions from any sport & Olympic venue.

*Except for surfing for which there will be no ticket sales.

TIPS FROM THE COACH

Depending on the sport and discipline, a session consists of one or several events taking place over a given period of time, accessible with a single ticket. Sessions range from preliminary rounds to the finals. Not all sessions will be put on sale in the first phase of ticket sales. Tickets for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games’ ceremonies will be put on sale at the same time as the sale of single tickets.

Even if you are a member of Club Paris 2024, you still need to register for the draw. You have two months from 1 December, 2022 to 31 January, 2023, 6pm (CET), to sign up for the draw.

CATEGORIES A, B , C AND D

A, B, C and D refer to the 4 seating categories according to their position in the stands. The number of categories available in any single session depends on the configuration of the competition venue.

CEREMONIES

The opening and closing ceremonies will have additional, specific categories.

 

Paris 2024 encourages spectators to travel to the Olympic Games using transport with the lowest carbon emissions possible and to use public transport during the Olympic Games and to access competition venues.

 

6.   TYPES OF SEATS

6.1.        ACCESSIBLE SEATING

Two types of accessible seats will be available:

- Wheelchair seats: these tickets are for people in wheelchair

- Accessible seats: these tickets are for people with disabilities or reduced mobility who don't use a wheelchair and who need a more accessible seat.

With every accessible seating ticket purchased, it will be possible to buy a companion ticket.

One accessible seat purchased = one seat for a companion.

The accessible places will also be subject to the draw(s).

Standard Seats tickets may be purchased in addition to tickets for people with a disability and companions according to the maximum number of seats per session (6 maximum, including accessible tickets).

The list of disabilities mentioned on this page is not exhaustive, all other disabilities are eligible.

The contiguity of Standard Seats between wheelchair users and the companion is not guaranteed due to the configuration of the competition venues and the seats categories proposed for wheelchair users.
