More tickets for the equestrian events at the Paris Olympics are going on sale tomorrow (20 June), with prices starting at €24 (£20).

As part of the Games’ “ticketing Thursday” initiative, seats have been going on sale every week, and this Thursday it is equestrian’s turn. Sales will open at 10am local time (9am BST).

“Every Thursday from 10am CEST, Paris 2024 will be selling new tickets for the Olympic Games,” a spokesperson for the organisers said. “These tickets will come either from places that had been allocated on a quota basis, pending the finalisation of the capacity of the various competition venues, or from places that had been reserved for various stakeholders involved in the Games.

“Tens of thousands of tickets will be on sale every Thursday on the official Paris 2024 ticketing website, offering new opportunities to enjoy the unique experience of the Games in France.”

Tickets will only be available via the official website
