"About 20 sports disciplines have sold out for this sales phase including urban sports, the various disciplines of cycling and equestrian sports which are meeting with real popular appeal," a Paris 2024 statement said.

Modern pentathlon, likely to feature an equestrian component for the last time and facing an uncertain Olympic future, has also sold out.

Paris 2024 has identified football, athletics, beach volleyball, tennis and basketball as the top five best-selling tickets.

Some four million applicants had signed up for the second phase of sales but some tickets still remain available in prime events.

These include places for an athletics night session night which includes pole vault and decathlon finals priced at €690 (£600/$750).

Tickets for men’s handball in Lille are on offer at €290 (£251/$315).  

Category C tickets for the boxing finals at Roland Garros are still advertised at €205 (£178/$224).

Many have been critical of the high prices on social media but organisers insist some cheaper tickets remain available.

These include football, golf, rowing and canoeing at €24 (£21/$26).

There are also tickets at under €50 (£44/$55) for football, golf, rowing, canoeing, handball, hockey, rugby sevens and water polo,

There are tickets in both categories for basketball in Lille and sailing in Marseille.

Meanwhile, tickets for a hospitality boat moored on the River Seine close to the Trocadero where the Olympic Opening Ceremony is scheduled to finish are on offer at €12,500 (£10,460/$13,050) through official hospitality providers On Location.

French newspaper L’Equipe has reported that additional plans for a spectator boat to follow the flotilla up the Seine has been shelved.

A top price Category A ticket for the Pont De L’Alma, approximately 1.8 kilometres from the Trocadero is advertised through the Paris 2024 website at €9,500 (£8,280/$10,330).

Riverside tickets are listed from €5,000 (£4,360/$5,300) to €7,500 (£6,540/$8,100).
