A review of the price and number of tickets sold for the Paris Olympics
Major sporting events such as the Olympics and the World Cup remain for years and years in the collective memory of the world's people under the names of the host countries, and their effect is not limited only to the time of holding. Just as the Athens Olympics is still the image and brand of the country of Greece before world public opinion, the Paris Olympics too is on its way to becoming and remaining the image and brand of France for years.
Beach volleyball at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, equestrian events in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, and nights along the banks of the Seine, in addition to building a favorable image of France, also bring considerable revenue for this country through various channels such as ticket sales and television broadcasting rights and so on.
The Paris Olympics, by selling 9 million tickets out of a total of 10 million tickets available, has broken the ticket-sales record in Olympic history. It is also forecast that the remaining 1 million tickets will also be sold in the coming days and the Paris Olympics, in terms of the number of tickets sold and the revenue obtained from them, will achieve an unparalleled success.
This is while the cheapest competition tickets, which relate to the early stages of the games, cost 24 euros, and ticket prices for the final stages reach as high as 980 euros. On this basis the Paris Olympics, in addition to the cultural and governance benefits it has for France, has also brought with it a dash of income generation.
