With ticket registration for the 2028 Olympics opening at 7 a.m. PST on Wednesday, LA28 has outlined the next steps fans can take to secure their spot at the L.A. Games.
Registration began Wednesday and runs until March 18. Fans who sign up at la28.org can begin purchasing tickets as soon as April 2. The first purchasing window from April 2 to April 6 is reserved for locals living near venue cities in Southern California and Oklahoma City. The first general public drop is from April 9 to 19.
Fans in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Ventura, San Bernardino, Oklahoma, Canadian and Cleveland counties will input their ZIP Codes during registration to be entered into the locals presale. When purchasing tickets, they must use the local ZIP Codes on their billing address.
USC is expected to play the 2028 football season at SoFi Stadium because it is hard to remove an Olympic track added to the Coliseum for the LA28 Games.
There was high demand on the ticket registration website when it opened Wednesday morning, taking more than an hour to process some fans’ registration requests and freezing before some completed the process.
Fans will be notified via email beginning March 31 if they’ve been assigned a time slot through the lottery. With rolling ticket drops starting in April, fans are encouraged to register early in case certain events are already sold out in later purchasing windows.
Fans are allowed to purchase up to 12 tickets per person for the Olympics and if they don’t purchase the maximum during their allotted time slot, they will be automatically entered for subsequent draws. Registration is required only once, even for Paralympic tickets that go on sale in 2027.
Single-event tickets start at $28. Of the 14 million tickets available for the Olympics, 1 million tickets across all sports will be set at $28. Roughly one-third of tickets will be less than $100. More specific pricing details will be available in April.
“These Games belong to everyone,” LA28 chairman Casey Wasserman said at an event at the Coliseum on Tuesday. “These Games have to be affordable and inclusive, especially for the communities of Los Angeles and Oklahoma City where competitions will take place.”
A comprehensive look at every official venue for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Olympics, which begin on July 14, 2028, in a dual-venue opening ceremony at the Coliseum and SoFi Stadium, will have events spread out in Southern California from Los Angeles to Orange counties. Long Beach will have the second-most Olympic events out of any city behind L.A. Oklahoma City will host the softball and canoe slalom events.
The Paralympics, which will be in L.A. for the first time, begin on Aug. 15, 2028.
