How much does a ticket to a 2024 Olympics in Paris event cost?

Starting this week, the 33rd summer Olympic Games get underway in the French capital as nearly 11,000 athletes hailing from 206 different nations will compete for gold across 329 events at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

This will be the third time that Paris has staged the Games, but the first in a century. The French city was the venue for the second modern Summer Olympics in 1900, before repeating hosting duties 24 years later.

This year, Team USA will look to continue its dominance of the Olympics medal table. The Americans have led the standings at six of the last seven Summer Games, including each of the last three. In Tokyo in 2021, USA pipped China to top spot, earning one more gold medals than the Chinese (39 to 38).

Last minute trip to the French capital?

For any sports fans planning a last minute trip to Paris, the good news is that on the ticketing-front many tickets still remain for a multitude of events including some of the high profile show-piece track and field athletics finals such as the 100m and 1500m finals.

Few bargains remain

Fans looking to attend the available events may have to dig deep with few sports having competitively priced tickets for sale and although there are men’s 100-metre final tickets available, prices do start from €295.
