Andrew Parsons, IPC President, said: “We are expecting a massive demand for Paris 2024 Paralympic Games tickets once they go on-sale on 9 October.

“In keeping with previous Games, we have worked hard with the Organising Committee to ensure affordable and family friendly prices for world class sport in absolutely stunning and iconic venues.

“Paris 2024 will also set a new benchmark in the range of hospitality products available ensuring there is something for absolutely everyone.

“Over the last decade we have witnessed a dramatic improvement in athletic performance across all 22 sports, while the depth of talent and level of competition has never been better. In terms of sport performance there is no doubt that Paris 2024 will be the best Paralympic Games ever.

“As with every Games, we hope we can sell every single ticket to spectators once they go on-sale on 9 October. With world class sport, stunning venues, and affordable tickets we aim to achieve this goal.”
