Sports enthusiasts from all over the world can register for the LA28 Ticket Draw* to start their journey toward seeing Olympic and Paralympic history. In an effort to further develop an athlete-centric Games, LA28 welcomed more than 300 Olympians and Paralympians, representing 28 different Games since 1960, to the historic LA Memorial Coliseum on the eve of this historic occasion. This was one of the biggest gatherings of Olympic and Paralympic athletes ever made outside of competition.
“LA28 is ready to welcome the world and the most spectacular athletes from every corner of it for what will be the greatest Games in history,” stated LA28 Chief Executive Officer Reynold Hoover. “A ticket to the Games is more than just a seat in the stands. It’s an opportunity to witness history and be part of the awe-inspiring moments where we celebrate the best of humanity and experience unity through the power of sport.”
How the Ticketing Process Works: Register at Tickets.LA28.org
Registration is the first step for a chance to secure a time slot to purchase tickets. Once registered, participants will be entered into a ticket draw, which will randomly assign time slots to purchase tickets throughout multiple future ticket drops.
Here are the key details of the ticketing process:
- Starting January 14 (10 a.m. EST / 7 a.m. PST) and continuing through March 18, fans around the world can register for the LA28 Ticket Draw and the opportunity to be selected for a time slot when Olympic tickets go on sale.
- Time slots to purchase during Drop 1 will run from April 9 to April 19, 2026.
- From March 31 to April 7, 2026, fans will receive an email notification confirming their time slot assignment.
- There will be rolling ticket drops starting in April 2026. Fans are encouraged to register for the best choice of tickets and events, as capacity may be filled or limited in subsequent drops. Paralympic tickets will go on sale in 2027.
- Fans only need to register once to be entered for future ticket draws and Paralympic draws once tickets for this event go on sale later in 2027. Those not selected for the first drop will automatically be entered into future draws.
- Anyone who wants access to tickets—whether for one sport or multiple events—will need to register for the LA28 Ticket Draw.
- If registrants selected for a time slot do not purchase the maximum amount of tickets allotted for the Olympic Games (12 per person) during that slot, they will automatically be entered into subsequent ticket draws.
- Tickets to the Opening and Closing Ceremony will be available in Drop 1.
- Tickets start at $28, and details on pricing for all categories will be available when Drop 1 opens in April 2026.
Presenting the Locals Presale in LA and OKC
Before Drop 1 opens on April 9, 2026, the Locals Presale will take place from April 2 to April 6. Before tickets go on sale to the general public, residents of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Ventura, San Bernardino, Oklahoma, Canadian, and Cleveland who register for the ticket draw with billing postal codes in these Southern California and Oklahoma counties will automatically be entered into the presale draw and have the opportunity to reserve a time slot during a special early-access window.
AXS and EVENTIM, LA28’s official ticketing service providers, will power the ticketing process. In 2026, On Location will offer customized hospitality experiences and packages that include individual tickets.
Choices for Everyone
LA28 is dedicated to making sure that everyone, particularly members of the Los Angeles community, may obtain tickets to the Games. To accomplish this, LA28 is making sure that spectators have a variety of ticket options to see the Games up close, from single tickets that will start at $28 to first-rate hospitality packages. This includes a third of tickets under $100 and at least one million tickets priced at $28.
Additionally, LA28 started a fundraising campaign in November wherein partners, philanthropists, and local sports teams will donate to support free tickets that will be distributed by local organizations in their areas.
