How much does it cost?

2. a variable rate, depending on the cultural or sporting event chosen

The basic price includes:

• Your participation in the opening ceremony,
• Your participation in the closing ceremony,
• Your official participation medal,
• Your free access to the accreditation center in the village of the Gay Games, and most of the sports venues,
• Your public transport pass (bus, metro, RER) throughout the Ile-de-France (5 zones) for non-Parisians,
• The full program
• Your welcome bag
• Promotional offers that are negotiated for you.

The prices of the chosen sports or cultural events are variable according to the organizing cost of each event. See each sporting or cultural event pages to see availability and prices.

 

How Base Registration rates vary

The next 2,000 registrations before 30 September 2017 are at “Red Supporters” base rate of 160 € (125 € for Francilians).
Note bene: 100 € ~111 US$ ~ 87 £ as of 13 June 2017

Base Registration Rates are progressive depending on both the date of the registration and the number of registrations already received.

So, the earlier you register, the less it will cost you!

(NOTE:  Base registration rates for Parisians does not include the 35 Euros public transportation pass.)

Categories of Basic Registration Fee	Start Date at the latest	End Date at the latest	Maximum Enrollment at the specified rate	Maximum Basic Registration Fees
Very Early Bird Fees	13 May 2016	13 June  2016	1,000 registrations	120 €
Early Bird Fees	14 June 2016	13 Jan. 2016	2,000 registrations	130 €
Blue Supporters Fees	13  Jan. 2017	11 June 2017	2,000 registrations	145 €
Red Supporters Fees	12 June 2017	30 Sept. 2017	2,000 registrations	160 €
Smart Fees	1 Oct. 2017	31 Dec 2017	2 000 registrations	175 €
Standard Fees	1 Jan. 2018	30 Apr. 2018	3 000 registrations	185 €
Late Fees	1 May 2018	30 June 2018	3 000 registrations	205 €

For example, basic fees on 15 June 2017 are 160 €, but as soon as registrations at this rate are over 2.000, basic fees raise to the next fees. If the number of registrations doesn’t reach the maximum quantity at the End date, fees can nevertheless raise.

For example, if you live in the USA and register today in soccer, you pay 160 € of basic fees plus 40 € of soccer fees for a total of 200 €. If you register only in May 2018 if there are an available slot, you would pay 205 € + 40 € = 245 €.

The deadline for registrations is scheduled for 30 June 2018.

 

NOTE:  Paris 2018 reserves the right to modify registration rates at any time.

 

How rates are calculated?

Participation in the organization costs by participants was calculated to represent less than a quarter of the overall budget of the event, including large opening and closing ceremonies, the 36 sports, 14 cultural activities, evenings in the village and all the festivities.

Your participation fee is essential for the success of this unique event. It is also a militant act to support our values.

Why register as soon as possible?

1. First registered, first served: all activities have a limited number of capacity. To be sure to participate in your activity, you should register as early as possible
2. Planning: Paris 2018 will have more time to plan all events according to your wishes and you will have more time to prepare your travel and accommodation
3. Economic: You will take advantage of better prices for registrations but also for your travel and accommodation thanks to our special deal with our official travel agency KTS France and misterbnb and show your support to Paris 2018 – Gay Games 10.

For the first time in the history of the Gay Games, the organizer PARIS 2018 has negotiated for its participants an Insurance option that covers the registration fees. For a unique payement of € 5.50, each participant may be reimbursed of its registration fees (up to € 300), in case of accident or serious illness, physical incapacity to participate, death in family, in the case of dismissal, and even due to a modification of the leave by your employer. (See general conditions). A new argument to register early and enjoy the promotional rate. This optional insurance should be taken when registering at Gay Games 10. You can’t subscribe afterwards.

Created in 2002 by the Federation of Gay Games, the Outreach program encourages the participation of people with financial difficulties. More than 300 people were assisted in the previous editions. The purpose of this is to increase the diversity of participants in the Gay Games and encourage the participation of people with cultures or regions where it is particularly risky to live openly LGBTIQ +.

And if you create a calendar, a game, a T-shirt or another object or newspaper that you could sell? You may find lots of ideas to collect a portion of registration fees, if you stand for all, then maybe you will be able to pay for the whole registration.
