The Paris 2024 Organising Committee has reached the symbolic milestone of allocating or selling one million tickets for the Paralympic Games to be held in the French capital from 28 August to 8 September.
The Paralympic box office opened on 9 October on the 'tickets.paris2024.org' website with 2.8 million tickets on sale and reached the one million mark on Wednesday. But that is just over a third of the 2.8 million tickets available for the 28 August - 8 September Paralympic Games.
In the 100-day countdown to the opening of the Paralympic Games, Paris 2024 and French athletes launched a social appeal on 20 May to boost ticket sales as part of the "I miss nothing but you" campaign. Nearly 550,000 tickets, priced at 25 euros or less, are still available.
We all stand together, but Paralympians are not here to play games.
