Registration for Los Angeles 2028 Olympics tickets is now open
By Austin Turner
Registration for the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics ticket draw opened on Wednesday, and many Southern California residents could have a chance to secure their tickets early.
According to LA28, those who register for the draw and are selected will receive an email later, providing them with a randomized time slot to purchase their tickets.
There were some initial hiccups to the process when registration opened at 7 a.m., although they were quickly ironed out and wait times decreased, SVP of Games Delivery Revenue LA28 Allison Katz-Mayfield said.
“The excitement around this morning was just so high,” she said.
Registration is open until March 18, and registering early doesn’t alter your chances of snagging tickets.
Anyone across the globe can register, although local LA-area residents with billing postal codes in LA, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside or Orange counties will also be entered into a draw for a local presale, which runs from April 2-6. To receive eligibility for the presale, entrants must register by March 18.
Oklahoma City-area residents can also register for canoe slalom and softball events, as they’ll be held there.
Local presale registration does not guarantee a time slot.
A group of hundreds of Olympic and Paralympic athletes helped promote the registration window’s launch at the LA Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday, including legends like Apolo Ohno, Bart Conner, Nadia Comaneci and Janet Evans.
“With ticket registration opening tomorrow, the LA28 fan experience officially begins and believe me, this is just the start,” Evans, who is now LA28’s Chief Athlete Officer, said at the event.
Organizers said that roughly one million tickets will be just $28, while a third of all tickets will be under $100.
“From the beginning, we’ve been clear about something else: access to these games belong to everyone,” said Casey Wasserman, Chairman of LA 2028 and the CEO of the Wasserman sports and entertainment agency. “These games have to be affordable and inclusive.”
