The expenses just to reach the venue of the Paris Olympics

Sports media creator Fitzdunk recently added a new post on his Instagram handle and broke down the cost of spectating the Olympics from the stands. The former Olympic medalist said that the Paris Olympics will go on between 26 July – 11 August 2024. However, the track events will take place from 2 to 10 August.

Estimating the total cost just for track and field events, Fitzdunk first mentioned the cost of reaching Paris from the US. He estimated that it would cost a person an average of $1000 to reach Paris via a flight. He also cautioned that if one doesn’t book their tickets fast, their Paris Olympics flight will end up costing a lot.

Next, he moved on to hotels and lodgings. Fitzdunk revealed that while the lowest rates are around $150, the expensive ones can be around $600 or more. Considering an average of $250, and a stay of nine days, the cost will reach around $2250. Thus, just the basic expenses reach up to a whopping $3250.
