I saw some larger stations where the turnstile couldn’t accept the phone yet, so agents had to tell people to go to another point to get in.

@@jasmineh9631 they sell it at the kiosks and counters at metro stations. You buy an easy card and add the pass to that. It’ll take you anywhere in zones 1-5 in the ile de France region.

@@frenchcrawl you are very helpful😊🥹

I only had one reservation at Musée de l'Orangerie on the 18th. But I was able to go pretty much everywhere they required it for the entire day at various locations (I was never turned away). I was originally wondering if they would only allow me into a certain area at a certain time, so it was nice that I had full access for the entire day. The pass has a date on it so I can't say whether I could use it again for another date. They scan it so if they programmed it by date then you might not be able to use it for multiple days. I do not have another QR code for another date and won't be going back to the Seine until the Opening Ceremony (and I have a ticket so won't need a QR code) so I won't know the answer to that first hand. Maybe someone else can chime in. I had my passport card (not actual passport, I have both types) on me for ID. They would check ID and then look at my face. So that was my experience. I think Driver's license should work just fine. Safe travels coming in.

@@frenchcrawl Mine has my first and last name , birthdate , no date of use but says « zone 75 Arena Porte De La Chapele . We are staying 2 nights at a hotel in that area and 5 nights at another hotel near the Bercy Arena. The other Passe Jeux has « Bercy on it ». But neither has a date on it just our birthdates and names on each individual passe and the zone. I guess we will see how it works when we arrive.

@@mariebrown9415 I see. If you're staying for multiple days in a security perimeter then they may have created one pass to encompass it (a pass a day would be cumbersome for lodging). I think that's what they did for residents and workers. Someone had shared an email they used to ask questions and they were able to get a response. support@pass-jeux.gouv.fr They gave their info in the email. Or you can submit yours via their site if you wanted a firmer answer.

@@mariebrown9415 And my mistake, the pass doesn't have a date, just name and birthdate like you said.

@@mariebrown9415 I am French military deployed for the Olympics, the QR code functions for the entire duration of the Olympics, you have no problem with that after you better have your identity document, the driving license can be passed if you come across a idiot, he's going to be annoying

@@emjoyf you’ll be fine walking in any red areas. The Seine area 25th and 26th will be blocked off without a QR. I had walked around and the fencing is everywhere there.

@@chriscompanero7204 hey! So they said to give yourself 30 days to be safe for shipping. Some people said they got it in a week.

@@frenchcrawl Thanks Kwan probably we'll purchase it on the airport once we land. Thanks so much.

@@soyaliss you should be ok for your dates. The Opening Ceremony is on the 26th so all the main sites on the Seine are closed. The only reason is if you were staying on the Seine, then you’d need one. The 27-28th will be back to normal on the Seine. You’d only need a pass to ride in a taxi through a red zone at that point on (near competition sites). But you can walk in those areas. Consult the interactive map for the areas you’re interested in: anticiperlesjeux.gouv.fr/carte-interactive-impacts-deplacements-ile-france

@@spadaacca that’s really cool. I’m honestly not sure because it’s a ticketed event. This article had some info: www.brusselstimes.com/1064271/paris-begins-sharing-out-free-tickets-for-olympics-opening-ceremony « Emmanuel Grégoire, First Deputy Mayor of Paris, explained that the ceremony will take place over a six-kilometre route, divided into 15 zones for spectators. Entry to these zones, which will provide food, drink and shade, will be between 3:30pm and 6:30pm, in time for the 7:30pm start. » More info: www.paris.fr/en/pages/olympic-games-opening-ceremony-answering-your-questions-27668 The lower quays are all ticketed. Upper quay info: « On the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the upper quays will be accessible only to spectators with access cards and to residents/professionals whose home/activity is located in the SILT and who wish to reach this location. To gain access to the grey perimeter (SILT), shakedowns and bag searches will be mandatory. Each time you enter the perimeter, you'll also have to present your Games Pass (a QR Code) to the police with identification. To obtain this digital pass, you must register now on the dedicated digital platform of the Préfecture de Police (Pass Jeux). For people without access to online services, a dedicated system will be put up in every arrondissement town hall. The Games Pass can be presented on a smartphone or printed out. It only applies to people aged 13 and over. » It starts at 7:30pm. Hope you can find a spot to view it!

So if you're coming in on the 25th the prices of the carnet (10 x t+ tickets) is going to cost €32 at that point in person. The only way you can get the €17 for a ten pack is if you buy them before July 20th (at the normal price). I'm not sure if you can do that outside of France. You can try via the app, but I've heard people had difficulty doing that. Otherwise, if you know someone there who can get one for you beforehand then that's another way. Here's a guide for the app: parisbytrain.com/navigo-pass-iphone-app-android-app/ Also the t+ ticket is only for travel inside of Zone 1. If you need to go from one zone to another, the one way price is going to be €6 for an Origine-Destination ticket for all various zone to zone travel (Zones 1-5). Tickets from and to the airport are going to be €16 one way as well during that time frame (can't use a t+ for those since it's in a different zone). So if you think you can get the ten pack somehow at the €17, you just have to consider that your two tickets to and from the airports will cost €32. Not knowing your itinerary (if you're going to other zones etc for events or leisure), you just have to figure out how much traveling you're doing. If it's just within the city center, zone 1, then t+ tickets are just fine. You can load up to 30 tickets on an Easy Pass. At €52 for the Paris 2024 Pass for 4 days), you'll be able to get to and from CDG and Orly (€32 right there) and then anywhere else inside of Zones 1-5. CGD and Orly travel is included on the Paris 2024 Pass they said. The key really is having the ability to buy normal tickets before July 20th, airport tickets, outside zone travel, and then the convenience of what the Paris 2024 Pass offers. Hope that helps.

@@frenchcrawl OMG Thank you for such detailed response! So to see if I got this right: If I go with 10x T tickets plus airports ticket bought separately since of course they are not within zone 1 im basically looking at a 49 euro total (17.35 euro for the T tickets assuming im able to grab em before July 20th plus 32 euro for transportation from CDG to hotel and hotel to Orly). If i go with the paris 2024 pass for 4 days im looking at a flat fee of 52 euros that includes the transportation I need from CDG to hotel and hotel to orly AND also unlimited transportation around paris on every single zone? If thats the case, for a 3 euro difference (49 vs 52) it seems like a no brainer to me and the 2024 pass is the absolute winner here, right? or am i missing something? Two last questions: 1) Just out of curiosity, are airport tickets also increasing during the olympics? Google maps seems to show the RER tickets at 11.80 EUR (CDG to Gare Du Nord station, close to my hotel). 2) The website for the 2024 pass does imply ticket coverage to both CDG and Orly, but it only says "to", not "from", any clue as to wether both ways are covered on both airports? Again, thank you so so much, this video as well as your reply is making my travel plans so much easier to understand.

@@Poroto2107 I think getting the pass would be the easier solution for unlimited any zone travel for the three euro difference. Yes, the airport ticket prices are going up as well, hence the €16 price I quoted. As for the airport, I’m assuming it means you can go to and from. So both ways. Coming in from CDG and then leaving to Orly like you are. parisbytrain.com/paris-2024-travel-pass/ That’s how I read it. I’m hoping that’s the case.

@@frenchcrawl Great! Ill just go with the paris pass for 4 days for the extra convenience then, great. Buying it now or at the airport upon arrival makes no price nor any difference whatsoever, right? Again, thank you so, SO much. Truly made my planning so much easier.

@@Poroto2107 correct. The price will be the same now or then.

You are like the third person who has told me when they applied for two people they only got one code back. So I'm not sure what they're doing (it's been such a confusing process for everyone). Did you use two emails or just submit one application? I think one person told me they found a QR in their partner's spam folder when applying for the two of them. Check out this reddit thread where some people shared their experience: www.reddit.com/r/olympics/comments/1dyr9fm/comment/lcaxq2m/? Also, one of them said they had success reaching out and asking directly about their pass. They used the email: support@pass-jeux.gouv.fr They wrote: "This is the email I used: support@pass-jeux.gouv.fr When I wrote them I included the confirmation number of the application. Last I wrote to them was this past Sunday and, maybe coincidence, but received at least two of our 4 QR codes. So who knows, right? 😊. Hope this helps!" Maybe confirm with them so you have some peace of mind.

Thanks again for your help. About my wife's qr code, it's solved. What happened was that they sent the qr code to her e-mail but no at the same time as mine, they sent it a couple of days after. About the support e-mail you mentioned, I belive it's gonna be usefull for another issue: I made several applications in the same day, so I received several qr codes without the name or the site they refer to. Now I don't know which qr code I should use for each place😂

@@thiagocardoso5126 glad you got the pass. As for the multiple requests someone mentioned the same thing as to how you can’t tell! They just really didn’t think this thing through 🤦🏻‍♂️🙃

That's a good question. From what I've understood, the Pass is tied directly to the reservation you requested it for. As for walking around freely once you're inside, I'd imagine you can until someone says otherwise? But I cannot confirm how that'll work with security and blocking of streets. As for using it aside from your reservation, I'm not sure. I think residents (and people staying temporarily) and workers have a different type of pass to have access for longer period of time. But people have said they had to request a pass for each individual activity. And at times they have combined the activities into one pass if they're within a period of time in the day. Otherwise, some things they've written are: parisjetaime.com/eng/article/paris-2024-games-practical-guide-district-by-district-a1706 "From 18 to 26 July 2024, in preparation for the Opening Ceremony, access to the banks of the Seine will be restricted. For everyone, a Games Pass is compulsory to access the grey area around the Seine. From 20 to 26 July 2024, there will be no river activities on the Seine. The upper and lower quays will gradually be closed to the general public, with access maintained for residents and establishments open to the public." And here: www.paris.fr/en/pages/moving-around-paris-during-the-olympic-games-get-your-games-pass-27063 "WARNING : Games Passes will not be granted if you simply need to cross a perimeter. This free and personal QR code will be your pass to getting through access points around these perimeters. Identity checks and bag searches will be operated by police and security forces. All individuals over 13 years of age must be acquire a Games Pass (even if they are in a vehicle). Reasons for access (residence, work, delivery, breakdown service, moving house, medical appointment, etc.) must be justified during registration and acquisition of a pass. A Games Pass can cover the entire Olympic and/or Paralympic period (for local residents, business professionals, delivery personnel, etc.) and can be used on a one-off basis for certain users (visitors, short stays)." If I hear anything else I'll follow up. I think we'll know more once people start accessing these areas with their passes starting on the 18th.

@@aleksandrakomorowska6425 you got it. Hope you have a great trip!

This is a good site to go over it as well: parisbytrain.com/paris-2024-travel-pass/ There will be no regular unlimited Day Pass July 20-September 8 - the day pass will be the Paris 2024 Pass for this time. Ok, so I'll try to explain the pricing during this time if you purchase while there. Olympic Pricing for regular tickets (July 20 - Sept 8) CDG with RER B to the City (€16 one way, €32 round trip) Versaille is in Zone 4 (will need Origine-Destination ticket €6 one way, €12 round trip) Montmartre is in Zone 1 (Regular t+ ticket €4 one way, €8 round trip) So t+ ticket will only cover Montmartre (Zone 1) and other places in central Paris. It will not cover Airport RER or Versaille. Those two require a more expensive ticket that I priced above. Paris 2024 Pass will include Zones 1-5 and CDG, so if you buy it you can use it from the airport to the city and back to the airport. And then to Versaille and back. And Montmartre will be ok of course. A 4 day Paris 2024 Pass will be €52 now or then. I know it can be confusing, but hope that helps. You can try to buy it on the app, but not sure if you can do it outside of France. Here is a site to help do that: parisbytrain.com/navigo-pass-iphone-app-android-app/ You can buy regular t+ tickets before July 20th and save money, but depending on when you go to Versaille, it might be better to do the Paris 2024 Pass to get the discounts with more days and airport included. Just depends on your itinerary.

Sorry it's been such a pain. I was having a discussion on this thread you can check out on reddit: www.reddit.com/r/olympics/comments/1dyr9fm/comment/lcdkmtd/? One of the users said she emailed them directly and got a response. The email was support@pass-jeux.gouv.fr You can read her experience on the thread as well.

The area around the Seine will be totally blocked off. So you won’t be able to walk around there. The only reason is if you had some appointment and then you’ll need a QR code.

@@bettykebri7464 Here's the site to apply for one: www.pass-jeux.gouv.fr/en/

For the most part correct, you won’t need it. The main reason after the 26th is you were traveling in a motorized vehicle through any red zones. All passengers require a Pass Jeux and Taxis won't pick you up if you don't have one and need to access red areas in a car. Otherwise, you can access those red areas on foot or bike without issue.
