With less than a fortnight to go before the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games in Paris, just over half of the tickets have been sold. Organisers are hoping a sales boost that followed the start of the Olympics will continue.
Five times more Paralympic ticket were sold after the Olympic games than before, Tony Estanguet, president of the committee organising the Paris Olympics and Paralympics told France Inter, echoing what other organisers have been saying in the past days, welcoming the boost from disappointing sales this spring.
