I went to look at the Eiffel Tower and saw this message. Does anyone know more about this? Or what is "JOP"?
On sale – Summer 2024 including JOP
Exceptionally, tickets for visits from June 17 will go on sale later (instead of going on sale on D-60).
No tickets for this summer (JOP period included) are currently on sale, do not buy from sites offering such offers.
Visit our site regularly.
JOP refers to the Olympic Games, aka Jeux Olympiques Paris.
Good luck!
I also was looking to purchase tickets for the 17th of June and now it shows there are none available, even thought they have not even gone on sale yet. The website isn’t giving any specific information as to when sales open up. Very frustrating. I am setting an alarm each day for midnight Paris time (6pm EST) until sales open back up and hoping I won’t miss anything. The Olympics aren’t even until August, so it seems strange that they would close sales this early.
A small correction : the Olympics start in late July.
Anyway they will be closing down at least part of the Champs de Mars something like June 3 to finish the build out of the beach volleyball stadium that will be sited between the Eiffel Tower and École Militaire. Beach Volleyball starts on July 27, the day after the opening ceremony, and runs through August 10, the day before the closing ceremony.

Even if all is normal, tickets for 6/17 won't be released until Paris midnight 6/18. (so 6:00 pm Eastern today)
Also:
- First set your computer to Paris' time zone.
- Check both at midnight and again at 4:45 am Paris time, when more are released.
- More tickets are released 1 week in advance at 1:00 pm Paris time.
- You can wait in line the day of.
We'll see you in that line it it looks like, because every time I check online (I've been practicing for days) there are only a few time slots available and they aren't times we can do. Trying again today!
Oh interesting! just checked, and now tickets for 6/10 and on will be available later. So 6/10 available at midnight (Paris time) tonight, and the 6/16 tickets I want will be available from 4/24. Yay! Another chance!

?? I think the 6/18 is a typo
Yes, you are right; I apologize. I meant 4/18 (not 6/18).
But since all is NOT normal with the Olympics, tickets for 6/17 are now to be released 4/25 per the ticketing website.
Phew, thanks for the clarification. That threw me for a loop !
