Olympic Games Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony

Paris dazzles from every angle. And you’ll have a premium seat to some of its most iconic attractions when you attend the Olympic Games Paris 2024 with Official Hospitality.

If you want exclusive access, make the most of the Official Hospitality and Travel Packages from the Official Hospitality Provider, On Location. This gives you access to premium seats – and premium viewing – of the Ceremony and guaranteed tickets to other events of your choice. It also gives you access to shared or private hospitality lounges.

This is the first time Official Hospitality Experiences have been made available to the general public at an Olympic Games. It’s your chance to make attending a sporting event in Paris an exhilarating once-in-a-lifetime moment.

New sports in Olympic Games Paris 2024

The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 saw a range of new sports added to the roster, including baseball and softball, karate, sport climbing, surfing and skateboarding. The new sport for 2024 is even more exciting. Breaking (aka breakdancing) is set to make its debut at the Olympic Games Paris 2024. The event will feature men and women’s competitions with head-to-head matchups. Like gymnastics events, judges will determine the winners based on technical skills, creativity, style, speed, strength, rhythm and agility.

With an Official Hospitality or Travel Package you have coveted access to these, and other, in-demand sports, with guaranteed tickets and premium seats at affordable prices. As an added bonus, you can attend the events and also enjoy access to exclusive shared and private lounges, where you can make the most of everything from gourmet dining and entertainment to concierge services.

Parisian landmarks will host Olympic Games sporting events

If your itinerary for the Olympic Games is too jam-packed to allow sightseeing, never fear – events will be hosted at some of the most iconic landmarks in Paris. Think beach volleyball with a view of the Eiffel Tower, skateboarding at the Place de la Concorde and equestrian sports at the Château de Versailles. The goal is to take sport out of traditional spaces, and put competitions at the heart of the city, in front of the most famous Parisian landmarks.

These events will be popular, but with an Official Hospitality or Travel Package you’re guaranteed premium seating, and will also be able to relax in style at a number of exclusive private and shared lounges. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Other Olympic Games Paris 2024 firsts

It won’t just be the athletes breaking records at the Olympic Games Paris 2024. This will be the first time in history where an Olympic Games will achieve a 50-50 split between male and female athletes, compared with Rio 2016 (47.5 per cent female) and Tokyo 2020 (48.8 per cent female). This year will also mark the first time (since it was added in 1984) that the women’s marathon will close the athletics program, instead of the men’s.
