Olympic ticket sales for Paris Games get off to rocky start

Organizers of next year's Paris Olympics promised relatively modest prices and egalitarian access to events, thanks to an online system meant to revolutionize ticket sales and bring the masses to stadiums and arenas for as little as US$26.

There were tickets for a soccer match at 50 euros but Beney would also have to buy at least two tickets for two additional events. Available tickets included basketball or handball at 150 euros , swimming at 230 euros and a whopping 690 euros for a qualifying event in track and field.Beney was disappointed and said her son's enthusiasm for attending their home Olympics on his 10th birthday vanished as they logged off without buying anything.

“We know that people are going to be disappointed, and we know that we don't have tickets for everybody,” Michael Aloisio, the deputy general manager of the Paris Olympics, said in an interview with The Associated Press. “But we also know that we have more selling phases opening soon with more tickets.”

Robin Allison Davis, a 38-year-old American and a self-declared “Olympics super fan,” said she wasn't expecting to find a bargain when it was her turn to hunt for tickets in her favorite sports - gymnastics, swimming and track and field.

No to Russians.

I've always loved sports, but spending any money on sports is a hard pill right now. Especially since all the international turmoil and the greed that shadows true sportsmanship. BTW decent article it was a lot less TMZish.

Psst, CTV, did you hear the news about corruption in the Liberal government?

There are much more pressing issues to deal with. Issues mainstream outlets such as yourself are ignoring. 🤡

So relieved Calgarians decided NOT to host future Olympic games. No backup fr feds/GovofAB for cost over runs. Adequate recognition for inflation not factored into 'deal'. What happens when viruses run amock? Security/terrorism costs skyrocket?

Really doubt Manny will be going.

Why pay for that garbage anyways The opening ceremonies will consist of some sort of satanic ritual followed by biological men winning female sports.

No
