Last phase of ticket sales gets off to a good start!
Following on the sale of grouped tickets in Pass form, since 4 March the Organising Committee has put individual tickets for all disciplines on sale. More than 220,000 tickets will be available to buy during this third and final sales period.
The start of this third phase has been promising, with 26,590 tickets sold in 7 days (including 15,000 on the first day) and a daily average of 1,000 tickets.
In the lead are the three Olympic disciplines (Jumping, Eventing and Dressage, which accounted for around 10,000 tickets in 3 days).
The cross-country phase of the Eventing at Le Pin National Stud (6,000 tickets sold in 3 days), the marathon phase of the 4-in-hand Driving (almost 1,000 tickets) and the Reining (more than 1,000 tickets) have also proved very popular.
N.B.: To date, tickets for the Reining final and the dressage and jumping phases of the Eventing have all sold out. There are still plenty of other tickets on sale, so check availability and reserve your tickets as soon as possible!
Foreign demand is still strong (38.9% of all sales) and, in Normandy (34.6% of all sales in France), it has been about average so far. Sales in the Ile de France are on the increase.
France is in the lead with more than 60% of all sales, followed by Great Britain (7.2%) and Belgium (4.3%). Finally, the United States, Australia and the Netherlands are on fairly equal footing, with 3.8%, 3.2% and 3.5% of sales respectively.

Finally, with regard to the departments, Calvados, L’Orne and La Manche are in the lead.
