Australian sports fans hoping to secure tickets the Paris 2024 Olympic Games could get a head start in the Games’ ticket program by signing up early for an official Games membership.

Games’ organisers have created Club Paris 2024, whose members will receive the opportunity to win priority access when sales open, as well as receive regular updates from Paris 2024.

Australian fans can sign up to Club Paris 2024 immediately at no cost, well before the ballot process begins.

Under a new system, tickets will be allocated via a global ballot.

First, fans must register for the ballot - Monday 22 December 2022 is the opening day for registration.

Then a series of ballots will be held. The first in February 2023, then May 2023 and finally all remaining tickets will go on sale at the end of 2023.

However, the Club Paris 2024 program gives fans who become members the opportunity to win an advantage once the process begins in December.

AOC Chief Executive Officer Matt Carroll says with less than two years until the Games, the Club Paris 2024 program provides Australian Fans an opportunity to receive tickets as well as keep them informed of key dates and activities.

“Because of the pandemic, it was disappointing that fans couldn’t travel to Tokyo to support the athletes and enjoy the Olympic experience. Paris will be different and something quite special for the athletes and Australians fans looking for that unique experience.

“The Club Paris idea aims to increase the chances of fans receiving tickets, and ensure you remain fully informed of everything Paris 2024 between now and the Games.

“In Paris and elsewhere in France, iconic venues will be hosting the world’s greatest athletes. Our beach volleyballers will be competing under the Eiffel Tower, equestrian events at Versailles, sailing at Marseille on the Mediterranean, not to mention an Opening Ceremony with athletes travelling by boat down the River Seine.

“Paris 2024 will be unique and tickets highly sought after. Most importantly, our athletes will thrive on the support coming from Australians in the stands at all the events”, Mr Carroll concluded.

Club Paris 2024 is now live and accepting members. Further updates on how the ticket process and priority access will work will be provided by Club Paris 2024 directly to their membership.
