Don't forget to check your emails! As of June 10, the City of Paris will be spreading some cheer by giving away more than 50,000 free tickets for the spectacular opening ceremony of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, happening on July 26. A total of 13,000 fortunate individuals will have the opportunity to receive 4 invitations each, delivered straight to their inbox. How wonderful!

Less than 2 months away from the opening ceremony, it seems that the city of Paris still has more than one trick up its sleeve. A whole series of free seats, announced a few months ago already, whose distribution should finally start very soon. And we finally know a little more about the distribution system of these magical passes that will allow attendance at the ceremony from one of the 15 zones set up along the quays for the event.


A popular event

The goal of this massive distribution of invitations? On one hand, to thank the people involved in the organization of the Games (2800 seats are reserved for City employees), or directly impacted by the events and other opening ceremonies.open, like the traders located within the security perimeter.

On the other hand, to make this event as popular as possible, targeting families from popular neighborhoods (especially those registered on the Facil'familles database), young workers' residences, members of youth centers, as well as those from certain sports clubs in the capital, due to the athletic nature of the event.

Redistributed tickets

The City of Paris, equipped with the most recent email databases, will therefore randomly select 13,000 individuals (and don't worry, even if you don't belong to the categories mentioned above, you still have a small chance of receiving the sacred email of victory). Each chosen person will receive 4 tickets, one for themselves, of course, and 3 more for people of their choice.

And don't worry, no seat will go empty, because each person selected will need to RSVP and also let us know how many friends they will bring along, so any unused seats can be given to someone else. That's why, if the campaign kicks off on June 10, it will run for the next few weeks to make sure all the invitations are claimed.
