The organisers of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games have announced that anyone in the world will be able to apply for tickets from Thursday 1 December in a new approach to ticketing for the showpiece event. In a significant change, tickets will be obtainable from a single platform worldwide and will not be available through ticket resellers.
Instead of entering a ballot for tickets for specific sessions or events, those who want to experience the games enter one global draw. Those selected will then be able to have their pick of what they want to see within a specific sales window. “We really wish to make Paris 2024 the first ‘Games Wide Open’, and we are fully dedicated to bringing this concept to life,” said Tony Estanguet, president of Paris 2024.
