So far, 3.25 million tickets have been sold for next year’s Olympic Games in Paris. In the first sales phase there was an enormous rush, the organizers said.
In the first sales phase, tickets were sold for all sports, except for surfing. The tickets for climbing and BMX freestyle were already sold out on the first day, while those for fencing, judo, breakdance and track cycling were sold out after just a few days. Football, athletics, rugby 7, basketball and volleyball sold the most. The second registration phase starts on March 15th. A total of around ten million tickets will be sold for the games.
A large proportion of the tickets were available at affordable prices: around 50 percent cost 50 euros or less. In combination with a smaller number of tickets at higher prices, a third of the Organizing Committee’s income is to come from ticket sales.
