The organizers of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games said they would launch a streamlined public ticketing operation ahead of the event, with the first draw for a total of 10 million tickets for sale starting on December 1.

"For the first time in the history of the Games, ticketing will be 100 percent digital and centralized on the same platform," according to the paris2024.org.

"It is not a sprint," said Paris 2024 Chief Executive Officer Etienne Thobois during an announcement at the Eiffel Tower on Monday.

Anyone in the world can enter the draw which ends on January 31, 2023, and three million tickets in packages will effectively be available in February. Tickets will be obtainable from a single platform and will not be available through ticket resellers.

The successful applicants will be allocated 48-hour time slots between February 13 and March 15, 2023 to purchase their tickets.

Half of the tickets will cost 50 euros ($52) or less, while prices for a three-session package start at 72 euros.

The French State has already booked 400,000 of the remaining tickets, which also go to Olympic stakeholders, the official hospitality provider and sponsors, organizers said.

"The fact that you can make your own package is designed to avoid no-shows, which happens after people buy a package for a specific session and are handed with it two sessions they are not interested in," Damien Rajot, head of ticketing, said.

Those packages will represent about 80 percent of the tickets sold to the public, with the other 20 percent being sold in May in form of single tickets.

The Paris Olympics will be held from July 26 to August 11 in 2024.
