Olympic tickets: How to get them and how much they cost

There were a total of 10 million tickets made available for the Games, with British supporters likely to be the largest fanbase outside the home nation.

“Team GB is obviously coming in force with great expectation,” said Etienne Thobois, the chief executive of the Paris 2024 organisers. “We are more than happy to see the Brits coming to cheer for the athletes of the world. We are looking forward to welcoming you guys in Paris. It’s very close – less than three hours away [by Eurostar] and London 2012 is still in the memories of everyone. It was an inspiring Games for us too. Britain is the first market by far outside of France.”

Up to 600,000 tickets remain unsold five days from Paris’s opening ceremony, including for the 100m finals and Josh Kerr’s attempt to win 1,500m gold.

There are also still 4,000 available for Friday’s curtain-raiser, although the only seats remaining are in the most expensive categories between £758 and £2,300.

Organisers confirmed at a Paris press conference that more than 20 sports still have seats spare, partly due to late releases of tickets and contingency planning.

Tickets for the most popular Olympic events, including swimming and gymnastics, are sold out with only availability through special ‘hospitality packages’.

Some will tell you that the Olympics began on Wednesday when some rugby sevens and football took place. Others might think it was when the flame passed from torch to cauldron. Most of us understand that the moment it all becomes real is when you first catch sight of a medal.

The Chinese duo of Huang Yuting and Sheng Lihao were the first recipients of golds at the Paris Games, although theirs were awarded in Chateauroux, venue for shooting and their 10-metre air rifle mix team event. Each one awarded at this Olympics, including silver and bronze, contains a piece of the Eiffel Tower.

Any concerned structural engineers can rest easy, as these pieces of wrought iron were removed and preserved during renovations to the Tower in the last century. Each now forms an 18-gram hexagon in the middle of every medal, set in the metal to denote winners, second or third places. This was chosen because “L’hexagone” is France’s self-explanatory nickname for itself, given its roughly six-sided shape.
