For example, basic fees on 1st March are 195 €, 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 195 € of basic fees plus 40 € of soccer fees for a total of 235 €. 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.
You may pay in euros or US dollars with your credit card. No need of a Paypal account.
NOTE:
- Paris 2018 reserves the right to modify registration rates at any time.
- Dates are at Paris time. Example, on 28 February, change of fees wil occur at midnight Paris time (CET : Central Eastern Time or GMT/UTC +1)
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?
- 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
- 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
- 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, misterb&b and Cité internationale universitaire de Paris and show your support to Paris 2018 – Gay Games 10.
