Tony Estanguet, president of the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Cojop), announced on Tuesday, August 20, that just over 1.7 million Paralympic tickets were sold. “The ticket office service was very good”he assured, emphasizing « 700 000 billets » Apparently found a taker “Since the beginning of the Olympics”July 24.
On August 12, the day after the Olympic closing ceremony, Mr. Estengait explained that 400,000 places had been sold since the Games began, bringing the total to 1.4 million. Therefore, the “JO effect” continues to exist: “Paralympic tickets do have an accelerating effecthe congratulated himself on Tuesday, That would be better because the French will be able to find all the elements for the Olympics”. The games will be played at the same venues as those allocated for the Olympics.
The truth is, we’re still far from Cojop’s sales targets. Even this has been revised downwards. Organizers initially announced that 2.8 million tickets would be available for Paralympic games. Due to technical limitations, officials reduced that number to 2.5 million.
Of the slightly more than 1.7 million places currently purchased, the State (300,000) and cooperating public authorities have also purchased over 600,000 places to reallocate them to priority groups (young people, people in need, civil servants wait).
Cojop management has been reiterating for months that sales at the London Paralympic Games in 2012 hit a record 40% following the launch of the Olympic version, and that is certainly the case in Paris as well. This is also the argument of the Chairman of the International Committee on Disability on August 12: “Two million tickets sold during the Rio Olympics and Paralympics [en 2016] More than a million people live in London »Andrew Parsons recalled that he wasn’t worried.
Amélie Oudéa-Catéra, the outgoing Minister of Sports, Olympic and Paralympic Games, recalls the 300,000 people who attended the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games on Wednesday, August 28, at Place de la Concorde Tickets will be issued by public authorities including « 200 000 » reserved “Go to school”.
