While many spectators of the last Olympic Games are beginning to despair at the idea of not receiving their souvenir ticket(s), some who had this “luck” frankly do not hide their disappointment.
« I find them very beautiful, I am going to laminate them », « Well received and happy with the result », « I like the one for the opening ceremony with a different color per event “. On the Facebook page of the group “JO Paris 2024: the community”, opinions are pouring in following the publication of our first article “JO: What do you think of your souvenir tickets? “. Positive comments but also, it must be said, much more virulent points of view. Even surprising.
So this resident of Val-d’Oise sent us an email directly to express his anger. “After waiting a long time for this famous sesame, I finally received it this morning (…). I was still expecting something other than this piece of cardboard “. And this spectator of the Paris Olympics speaks “ scam and disappointment “. “My ticket went straight into the trash,” he concluded in his email.
Excessive. No doubt. You be the judge. Other Internet users deploreue “the design is not collector’s item”, that “for shipping costs of 9.99 euros, the paper is too light “, or that these tickets are “ too big compared to what was planned, and not even with the right names “. The mention of the name actually constitutes a problem since these souvenir tickets from Germany are printed with the name of the person who booked and not the person who attended the events.
Even more annoying, many people deplore not always having nothing received as of November 14. We really hope these tickets can arrive. At the risk of having a… very bad memory.

How can the souvenir tickets for future Olympic events be improved according to Emma?
**Interview with Emma Dubois, Olympic Fan and Ticket Holder**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Emma. Many spectators were looking forward to their souvenir tickets from the Olympic Games, but it seems like some are not as happy with the outcome. Can you share your experience?
**Emma:** Thank you for having me! Yes, I was really excited about the idea of having a souvenir ticket to commemorate the event. When I received mine, I was initially thrilled, but as I looked at it, I noticed it lacked the quality and detail I had hoped for. I ended up feeling a bit let down.
**Editor:** That’s disappointing to hear. What exactly were you expecting from the souvenir ticket?
**Emma:** I expected something more collectible—perhaps a special design or a unique feature that reflected the spirit of the games. Instead, it felt just like a regular ticket. I appreciate that it’s a reminder of the experience, but it didn’t hold the sentimental value I thought it would.
**Editor:** It seems like you’re not alone in your feelings. Have you spoken to other fans about their tickets?
**Emma:** Absolutely. I’ve heard similar sentiments from fellow spectators. Many feel that the mementos didn’t live up to the excitement of attending the games. Some even told me their tickets went straight into the trash after the event, which is really disheartening.
**Editor:** That’s quite a strong reaction. What do you think could have been done differently regarding the souvenir tickets?
**Emma:** I believe they could have offered different designs or even limited editions for the most popular events. Anything that reflects the uniqueness of the Olympics would have added to the experience. Personalization options could also make a big difference—perhaps customizing the ticket with the spectator’s name or the event they attended.
**Editor:** Those are great suggestions. For you, does this experience affect your desire to attend future Olympic events?
**Emma:** Not at all! I still cherish my time at the games, and the atmosphere was electric. While the souvenir ticket wasn’t what I expected, the memories I made are irreplaceable. I just hope they take feedback into account for future games.
**Editor:** Thank you, Emma, for sharing your insights. It’s clear that while the experience was unforgettable, there’s room for improvement in how memories are captured through memorabilia.
**Emma:** Thank you for having me! I look forward to seeing how the organizers evolve in the future.
