This ground-breaking model ensures a secure and more accessible way for spectators to experience the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
“Our new global hospitality and ticketing model offers fans and stakeholders a safer, simpler, more accessible and inclusive way to experience the Olympic Games. We have developed these exclusive Olympic hospitality packages as part of this new approach working with our colleagues at Paris 2024 and our official and exclusive hospitality provider, On Location.” – Anne-Sophie Voumard, Managing Director, IOC Television and Marketing Services.
The official online platform, operated by On Location, offers fans a range of hospitality options, allowing them to tailor their trip by choosing the duration of their stay, their preferred accommodation, and additional cultural experiences.

“We are delighted to launch, together with On Location, the first ever global e-commerce platform offering hospitality for the Olympic Games that will be accessible to all budgets. Paris 2024 will be a spectacular celebration of sport in one of the world’s most beautiful cities. A celebration that will open up the Games to more people than ever before, with sports being played in the heart of the city, next to exceptional landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Grand Palais, as well as the highly anticipated Opening Ceremony along the Seine River. Our ‘Games Wide Open’ concept is reflected through this innovative platform, which will open up hospitality to members of the public, allowing them to make their once-in-a-lifetime experience even more special.” – President of the Paris 2024 Organising Committee, Tony Estanguet.
The hospitality packages for the Olympic Games Paris 2024 are designed to provide the ultimate experience for fans worldwide.
They include an array of exciting hospitality options in private or shared spaces, with varying levels of premium service, enabling fans to fully immerse themselves in the thrill of the Games.
