The start of the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024 is still about a year and a half away, but ticket sales have already begun.
At least for those who have already registered their interest. Those who participated in the first order phase for ticket packages – called “Make Your Games” packs – might get an email these days. According to the organizers, the notifications to the drawn people will be sent in the period between February 13 and March 15.
Two days after receiving this message, a 48-hour window starts to buy such a package of Olympics 2024 tickets. The European Consumer Centre (ECC) reports the procedure and criticizes this tight time frame.
Pressure on Ticket Buyers
According to critics, this will put a lot of pressure on those interested in buying. The advice of the consumer protectors to sports fans is to better think twice. The reason is that the tickets are personalized and usually expensive, there is no right of withdrawal, and the resale conditions for purchased tickets have not yet been clarified, according to the ECC.
The first registration phase for people interested in Olympics 2024 tickets on the official sales platform “tickets.paris2024.org” had run from December 1 to January 31. Here it was all about the ticket packages. According to the ECC, those who had registered within this period and were now drawn had the opportunity to buy packages for a combination of three competitions, such as basketball, athletics and field hockey. Within the given 48-hour time slot.
If you miss your window to buy tickets or did not take part in the first order phase, you can register between March 15 and April 20 for the second order phase, which is for individual tickets. The procedure is the same: The tickets will be drawn by lot. Those drawn will receive an e-mail notification with a 48-hour time window for purchasing tickets.
