Coe sounds warning over Paris 2024 athletics prices with tickets up to €990
- World Athletics president: Stade de France prices are ‘lumpy’
- Coe backs Katarina Johnson-Thompson to win Spoty prize
The World Athletics president, Sebastian Coe, has expressed concern over ticket prices for the Olympic Games next year, warning they will price out genuine fans and lead to empty seats.
In an unusually punchy intervention Coe, who ran the London 2012 Games, said he had spoken to Paris organisers to stress that “full stadia are absolutely a prerequisite” for the biggest Olympic sport.
