Which matches are still on sale?

As of June 2024, the only match that has completely sold out is the men's final which means there are plenty of tickets still available. While it may be tempting to wait as late as possible in the hope of price reductions, there could also be a surge for tickets once Euro 2024 in complete.

This will definitely be the case should France do well at the Euros. They have qualified for the round of 16 and have as good a chance as anyone of making it all the way to the final. It's highly unlikely, however, that anyone from the France Euro 2024 squad will also take part in the Olympics.

Are there hospitality tickets for the 2024 Olympics in France?

Of course, there are hospitalist tickets for football matches in the upcoming Olympic games but you will have to pay more for the hospitality packages.  This includes travel packages that start from €495 while hospitality prices start at €85.

For example, with at least €400, you will get access to the private lounge to watch the race walk and modern pentathlon. However, the price does not include the hotel package.  3X3 Basketball hospitality package starts from €435. In a nutshell, the hospitality package varies depending on the areas you plan to access and the kind of Olympic games you intend to watch between 24 July and 10 August 2024.

Most importantly, like any other 2024 France Olympics tickets, you can book both hospitality and travel packages weeks or months before the big event on the official ticketing platform for this year's Summer Olympics.
