Organizers announced a combined 9.7 million tickets were sold or allocated for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Of these, 8.7 million were for the Olympics and 1 million for the Paralympics. A total of 10 million tickets were initially available for the Olympics, meaning about 300,000 tickets remain. Atlanta held the previous record, with 8.3 million tickets sold for the 1996 Games.
