Random Draw Offers a Chance to Secure 2028 Olympic Tickets
Sport fans can now register to be entered into a random draw for tickets to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, with tickets starting at $28 (approximately £21). Registration opened on Tuesday and will remain open until mid-March, offering access to a draw covering all events scheduled for the Games. Selected fans will be notified via email and given a time slot in April to purchase their tickets. Approximately one million tickets will be available for $28, while another third are anticipated to cost less than $100 (approximately £74.41). “These Games belong to everyone,” said Casey Wasserman, chairman of LA 2028, on Tuesday, emphasizing the importance of affordability and inclusivity.

Ticket Prices Reflect a Commitment to Accessibility
Ticket sales will commence from April 9th through April 19th. Admission to the opening and closing ceremonies will be included among the available tickets. While the majority of the Games will be held across Los Angeles and southern California, canoeing and softball will be staged in Oklahoma. LA28 chief Allison Katz-Mayfield described the random ticket-drawing process as “the fairest way to ensure that the broadest number of people can get access to tickets and that no one is advantaged or disadvantaged.” She emphasized that “No matter when you go in, whether you’re the first person in or the last person in, you have the same opportunity.”

Early Registration Boosts Ticket Acquisition Odds
Ticket registration will remain open until March 18th, and there is no advantage to registering early. Fans who register using their name, email, and zip code will be entered into a random draw for time slots to purchase tickets in April; however, it’s important to note that the earlier a fan is assigned a time slot, the greater their chances of securing tickets, as availability is not guaranteed once a slot opens.

Historic Coliseum Marks the Lead-Up to the Games
Ticket prices reflect a commitment to accessibility, following criticism of the 2026 men’s football World Cup ticket prices. Notably, tickets for the 2024 Olympics in Paris began at $27.95 (approximately £21).

Los Angeles Leverages Established Olympic Infrastructure
Games organizers, alongside hundreds of Olympians and Paralympians, convened at the LA Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday for a ceremonial lighting of the venue’s cauldron, marking the lead-up to the opening of ticket registration. The Coliseum served as a venue for events during both prior Olympic Games in Los Angeles and will co-host the opening ceremony alongside track and field events in 2028.
