Again I am in Paris at a sports event🌸 this one is a big one kinda life time experience. After my long stay at construction site in Sint Maarten, the date was just matching with the olympics best period, so I decided to stay one day in Paris. No tickets for any matches/games, just to see the oympics atmosphere😌
Then I found tickets and actually made the most out of it 🤩
Saturday afternoon, Tennis tickets for medal matches (4 match in total) & Sunday morning, Turkey - Italy volleyball match 🇹🇷🇹🇷
Below you can see how to purchase tickets at a late stage..
Tickets
You have 2 options:
They release new tickets each day, however for the popular things it is still hard to find.
So, we are getting to the second option: resale website.
This is a separate website and just the people who knows search and find it. So less people try this website. I found both tickets from here✨
When you arrive in Paris:
The organisation is very well structured. When you buy a ticket they are sending mails for the needed info a few days before your game.
There are 3 apps that you will use (they have more but some of them are for the accredited organisation people)
Paris 2024 Olympics
General info and links of anything you need
Paris 2024 Olympics Ticketing
When you buy a ticket it is shown in this app and you can also resell your tickets from here
Paris 2024 Transport Public
This is all for transportation
For transportation there are special passes depending on how many days you need.
Also airport transportation is included so it makes sense 🌟
RER is 13 euro one way if you buy a single ticket
2 days pass is 35 euros including all the transportation within Paris (consisting RER to airport)
Merchandise
Main thing for me, as the materials are mostly so high quality and also as a memory those thirts, caps, bags are nice🌸
There are many boutiques, all of then has the same things.
**at sud arena shop I could find the size that I was looking for at other boutiques.
Experience
First day, I have tennis tocket for afternoon session. It is defined as 12.00-19.00, but please consider that tennis matches are mistly longer tha. expected. So, program it accordingly.
Men Doubles Gold Medal
Men Doubles Bronze Medal
Women Single Gold Medal
Man Single Bronze Medal
🥐🍔🍟🥤
The sponsor is coca cola and visa. So there are two main things, you will have the most coke that you drink in such short period and can only use visa cards (mastercard, american express etc cannot be used).
There was small variety of food so I can suggest eating before coming but you can find deinks there. There was no alcohol at tennis and volleyball matches, but as I heard at fencing you can find. I couldn’t understand the logic.
Accomodation
It is even more expensive than normal in Paris now, I stayed in Hôtel Notre Dame Maitre Albert Paris Hôtel de Notre Dame - Maitre Albert (Hôtel Ouvert)
Price/quality ratio is good, I can recommend👌🏻
