“Game Is Not Over”, the new campaign for the Paralympic Games
Beginning yesterday, Monday, August 12, Paris 2024 launched its new campaign for the Paralympic Games: “Game Is Not Over”. More Games, more sports, more records, more emotions. The athletes are ready for the Paralympic Games, and they’re counting on the presence of all their supporters in the stadiums to lead them to victory.
The campaign, featuring French Paralympic athletes Nantenin Keita (Para athletics), Louis Hardouin (wheelchair basketball), Bopha Kong (Para taekwondo) and Marie Patouillet (Para cycling), will be rolled out across a wide range of channels (digital, poster, television and press) until 8 September.
Great opportunities on Tickets.paris2024.org to be part of history
Buoyed by the success of the Olympic Games, ticket sales for the Paralympic Games have been booming since the Games began and are continuing to increase. Nearly 1.4 million tickets have been sold, including 400,000 since the start of the Olympic Games, but there are still plenty of opportunities to take part in this historic event for our country.
As of yesterday, 75,000 tickets are still on sale at €15 and almost 300,000 at €25, particularly for the finals. Opportunities are still available for the emblematic sports of the Paralympic Games: Para athletics at the Stade de France, wheelchair tennis at Roland-Garros, Para swimming at Paris La Défense Arena, wheelchair basketball at Bercy Aréna… not forgetting the Closing Ceremony, the grand finale of the Paris 2024 Games, with tickets starting at €120.
The Paralympic Games will be the last chance to experience the magic of the Paris 2024 Games. The last chance to cheer on the athletes, watch exceptional sporting performances and celebrate the medalists, all together.
Sports and sessions already sold-out
Certain popular sports are now sold out: wheelchair fencing (Grand Palais), para taekwondo (Grand Palais), para cycling (Vélodrome national de St Quentin en Yvelines), Para equestrian (Château de Versailles), Para triathlon (Pont Alexandre III), Shooting para sport (Châteauroux National Shooting Centre). This is also the case for Paris Centre Discovery Pass and certain finals such as the wheelchair rugby final at the Champ de Mars Arena, the wheelchair basketball finals at the Bercy Arena and the blind football semi-finals and final at the Eiffel Tower Stadium.
As was the case for the Olympic Games, Paris 2024 is inviting spectators to keep checking the official ticketing site: new tickets may be made available every day, right up to the start time of each session.
Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024 said: “After a fortnight of absolutely crazy sporting emotions and moments of pure happiness that will go down in the history of the Games, the last thing we want to do today is say goodbye. And we’re in luck, because in a fortnight’s time the Games will be back, with 4,500 athletes in the starting blocks, ready to compete with the same crazy energy and in the same unique and sublime competition venues! The Olympic Games were the opening leg, and we’re about to experience the return leg. See you on 28 August at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, for the biggest kick of our lives!”
