The Paris 2024 Paralympics aim to sell every one of the 2.8 million tickets before the global event gets under way to top the record figures set in London in 2012, International Paralympic Committee President Andrew Parsons said.
"We want these Games to sell out even before the opening ceremony. So what we want is that we sell every ticket before the start of the Games," he said. "After two editions of the Games, spectators are back ... with incredible venues at the heart of the city," Parsons said. The IPC had last year suspended the paralympic committees of both countries and banned their athletes from competing following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Belarus has acted as a staging ground for Russian troops and weapons.
