The Paris 2024 Olympic Organizing Committee announced today, Thursday, a new record for the number of tickets sold throughout the history of the Summer Olympic Games.
The committee explained that 9 million and 700 thousand tickets were sold or allocated for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, with 8 million and 700 thousand tickets for the Olympics and one million tickets for the Paralympic Games.
The Paris 2024 Olympics surpassed the record number of tickets sold in the history of the Summer Olympics, set at the Atlanta 1996 Olympics, when 8.3 million tickets were sold.
The number of tickets sold for the Paris Olympics is likely to increase as tickets for 45 sports events are still available.
