D-100
First successes for Paris Bercy 2011 !
With 100 days to go till the start of the European Athletics Championships in Paris Bercy (4th – 6th March 2011), the organisers have racked up their first satisfying statistics: 51% of the tickets have already been booked.
Will there be a Barcelona effect? The figures tend to prove just that and the latest performances by the French Athletics Team are doubtless behind this very encouraging trend.
The initial ticket buyers largely belong to the “Athletics” family, which comprises a population of members.
Indeed the exclusive offer to members of the French Athletics Federation was launched back in February, and came to an end in July.
2,200 packs were booked in this way during the main national athletics meetings, as well as via the event website.
In total 20,000 tickets, with prices ranging from €10 to €50 depending on the day and the category, have gone on sale on the website www.ticketnet.fr as well as through the usual retail outlets.
3-day packs will also be available for those wishing to attend the whole event.
