#SportyPeachy #FrancePeachy #ParisPeachy @Paris2024 One million tickets sold for the Paralympic Games

The symbolic milestone of one million ticket sales for the Paralympic Games has been reached. With two months to go before the Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games Paris 2024, ticket sales are continuing to gain momentum in this final stretch.

Having opened on 9 October 2023, with 2.8 million tickets on offer, the Paralympic ticketing platform for Paris 2024 recorded the milestone figure of one million tickets sold or allocated on 26 June 2024. On the occasion of 100 days to go to the Paralympic Games, on 20 May, Paris 2024 and Team France athletes launched an appeal to the French public, with the campaign "I miss nothing, except you". The campaign highlighted the Paralympic Games and Para athletes, and the public has responded by taking advantage of the affordable prices, family offers, discovery packs and exceptional venues on offer at the Paralympic Games. Interest promises to continue to grow: 550,000 tickets at €25 or less are still on sale, representing fantastic opportunities to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime celebration, which is taking place in the some of the world’s most unique and beautiful sporting venues, at an affordable price.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
