Surfing at Paris 2024 will be the only sport that will not have an audience

“There will be no ticket sales for surfing,” says the guide of the great event that opened ticket sales today


Surfing at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which will be held in Teahupoo, Tahiti, from July 27 to 29, 2024, will be the only sport that will not have an audience; “there will be no ticket sales for surfing,” says the guide that was published today on the official website.

Paris 2024's social media celebrated the opening of sales. To buy tickets, several forms must be filled out and, once completed, the option is opened.

There are several guides that indicate the procedure to follow, in the first PDF, the sports are ordered alphabetically and surfing is absent.

In another guide for buying tickets, the option to buy different events is provided and the asterisk details below: “Except for surfing, which will not have ticket sales.”

Surfing is not on the list of sports for which tickets are sold. And then it becomes clear:
Except for surfing, where tickets will not be sold.

ISA CEO Robert Fasulo had told DUKE in May that while it was not yet clear, he expected it to be a race that would be more enjoyable on television because Teahupoo is an outside spot.

Typically, the CT tests carried out there have the public sitting in the canal using jet skis and boats.

It has not yet been announced how many people will be allowed in the channel, whether the press will be allowed to be present and how many companions each qualified surfer will be allowed to have.

This will be the second consecutive time that surfing will be without an audience. In Tokyo 2020 there was none due to the pandemic and now due to the wave conditions.
