How to Buy LA 2028 Olympics Tickets

Registration opens at 10 a.m. (ET) on Wednesday at Tickets.LA28.org. It's the first step for a chance to secure a time slot to buy tickets starting in April. After registering, fans will be randomly assigned time slots to buy tickets throughout future ticket releases.

Individual tickets, hospitality packages including tickets and packages involving travel and accommodations will also go on sale later this year.

Under LA28's process, registrants will be entered into a random draw for time slots to buy tickets. LA28 said ‍time slots for Drop 1 will run from April 9-19, with email notifications sent March 31 to April 7. Tickets for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies will be included in Drop 1.

A ‍local presale window ⁠will run April 2-6 for residents ⁠in select Southern California and Oklahoma counties, where canoe slalom and softball will be held. Paralympic tickets are due to go on sale in 2027.

On the sidelines of the event, LA28 Chief Athlete Officer and gold medal winning swimmer Janet Evans said the Olympics are a powerful way to unite people from around the globe.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Olympic organizers brought together about 300 current and former Olympians and Paralympians ‍at the LA Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday for ​a ceremonial lighting of the stadium's Olympic cauldron, using the rare gathering of athletes ⁠to launch the public countdown to ticket sales for the 2028 Games.

The cauldron lighting event at the Coliseum - which hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984 and is due to stage the Opening Ceremony and track ‌and field in 2028 - featured athletes spanning decades of competition and was billed by organizers as one of the largest assemblies of Olympic and Paralympic athletes outside competition.
