Several tens of thousands of new tickets will go on sale for this “Athletics Special” sale. This is one of a series of surprise events organised by Paris 2024 over the next few weeks leading up to the Games – at the rate of approximately one sale per month – offering new opportunities to buy tickets for this exceptional event.
With the exception of the marathons and the race walking, all events will be held at the Stade de France or St. Denis, which is located in the north of Paris and has a capacity of 80,000 spectators. The venue hosted the 2003 World Athletics Championships
Built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup and classified by UEFA as a Category 4 stadium, France’s largest venue is normally used as a second home for Paris rugby clubs Stade Français and Racing 92 and is a traditional venue for major international and domestic football matches.These “special tickets” come after strong criticism of the high price of tickets for Athletics at Paris 2024. World Athletics President Sebastian Coe was one of those to express his dissatisfaction.
