At the Paralympic Games, audiences will rediscover everything that made the Olympic Games so magical: the same iconic competition venues, the intense battle for medals, the same mascots, festival sites across France where people can experience the Paralympic Games together. All this with the special soul and meaning of the Paralympic Games and a whole new level of excitement.

The party is far from over and Paris 2024 invites the public to continue the celebrations by witnessing the exciting sporting achievements of the world’s best para-athletes.

In summary

• Paris 2024 launches “Game Is Not Over”, a new campaign to encourage the public to come to the Paralympic Games and support the athletes.
• 1.4 million tickets were sold for the Paralympic Games, 400,000 of which were sold during the Olympic Games.
• Six sports, the Paris Centre Discovery Pass and many finals are now sold out.

“Game Is Not Over”, the new campaign for the Paralympic Games

From Monday 12 August, Paris 2024 will launch its new campaign for the Paralympic Games: “Game Is Not Over”. More games, more sport, more records, more emotions. The athletes are ready for the Paralympic Games and are counting on the presence of all their fans 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 numerous channels (digital, poster, television and press) until September 8.

Boosted by the success of the Olympic Games, ticket sales for the Paralympics have boomed since the Games began and continue to rise.

Almost 1.4 million tickets have already been sold, including 400,000 since the start of the Olympic Games, but there are many more ways to take part in this historic event for our country.

From Monday 12 August, 75,000 tickets are still on sale at €15 and nearly 300,000 at €25, especially for the finals. There are still options for the emblematic sports of the Paralympic Games: para-athletics at the Stade de France, wheelchair tennis at Roland-Garros, para-swimming at the La Défense Arena in Paris, wheelchair basketball at the Bercy Arena… not forgetting the closing ceremony, the grand finale of the Paris 2024 Games, with tickets starting at €120.

The Paralympic Games are the last opportunity to experience the magic of the Paris 2024 Games. The last opportunity to cheer on the athletes together, witness exceptional sporting achievements and celebrate the medal winners.

Sports and sessions already sold out

Some popular sports are now sold out: wheelchair fencing (Grand Palais), para-taekwondo (Grand Palais), para-cycling (Vélodrome national de St Quentin en Yvelines), para-horse riding (Château de Versailles), para-triathlon (Pont Alexandre III), para-shooting (Châteauroux National Shooting Centre). This also applies to the Paris Centre Discovery Pass and certain finals such as the wheelchair rugby final at the Champ de Mars Arena, the wheelchair basketball final at the Bercy Arena and the blind football semi-finals and final at the Eiffel Tower Stadium.

As with the Olympic Games, Paris 2024 invites spectators to regularly visit the official ticket site: new tickets may become available daily until the start of each section.

Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024 said: “After two weeks 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 today is to say goodbye. And we’re lucky because in two weeks 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 first half of the season and we are now experiencing the second half. See you on August 28 at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris for the biggest kick of our lives!”

Andrew Parsons, President of the International Paralympic Committee said: “After a hugely successful Olympic Games, I am more convinced than ever that Paris 2024 will host the most spectacular Paralympic Games in history. The party goes on and people should prepare for the most surprising and impressive sporting event they will ever experience. Twelve days of elite sport that will change France forever and transform the way people see themselves and each other. This is an unmissable event. To Parisians returning home from their summer holidays, jealous of having missed the Olympic Games, my message is: come and watch the Paralympic Games, I promise you a life-changing experience, an event that you will probably never experience again in your city in your lifetime.”

Marie-Amélie Le Fur, President of the French Paralympic and Sports Committee said: “The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are a resounding success and will surely go down in history. For 15 days, time stood still and the Olympic spirit spread around the world. Full stadiums, patriotic fans, athletes giving their best, celebration venues ablaze… it was historic! But the Games are not over yet and all the ingredients are there to keep the magic going. The same competition venues, the same Club France, the same support to ensure our 237 French athletes perform at the highest level… Everything has been thought of to ensure the party goes on so that our Paralympic athletes can shine, dream and inspire. I would also like to thank the Paris 2024 Organising Committee and all the other stakeholders involved for maintaining the same level of ambition in conceiving, organising and supporting this unique event, the Paralympic Games. I know the immense power of the Paralympics and I know our country will fall in love with them, immerse itself in them and be forever shaped by them. See you on August 28th!
