The head of the Paris Olympics has hit back at Sebastian Coe’s comments that tickets are too expensive by claiming they are cheaper than at the London 2012 Games.
Lord Coe warned on Monday that the cost of attending athletics finals at the Games next summer could freeze out genuine fans and lead to empty seats at the Stade de France, with prices as high as €990 (about £850) for the Category First seats and €690, €385, €195 or €85 for Category A-D tickets.
