Paris offers $26 tickets in accessibility drive
One million tickets for the 2024 Paris Olympics will be sold for 24 euros ($26.50) each with availability for all 32 sports, organizers said on Monday.
The Paris proposal to the International Olympic Committee sets the basic price lower than at the 2012 London Olympics, where the 20-pound tickets cost more than $31 at the exchange rate then.
"This is something important for us," Paris organizing committee president Tony Estanguet said. "This is a very strong promise to offer accessibility for everyone to Olympic sports."
A sales program unveiled by Paris organizers calls for pricing nearly half of the 10 million total tickets at no more than 50 euros.
For the 2024 Paralympics, prices start at 15 euros and about half of the 3.4 million tickets will cost no more than 25 euros.
