First Tickets for Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games Go on Sale April 9

The initial wave of general tickets for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games is scheduled to become available in just a few days, on April 9th. Organizers have announced that these first tickets will be released on Thursday, following a restricted pre-sale for local residents that took place on April 2nd. However, only individuals who completed early pre-registration will be granted access to purchase these tickets.

The initial window for pre-sale registration was open between January and March 2026. Not all who registered during this period were able to secure a spot in this first opportunity to buy tickets for the upcoming Summer Olympics.

Tomorrow, April 7th, the organizers will send out a final email to selected individuals, granting them the first chance to acquire tickets for the Los Angeles 2028 Games. This includes access to tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as all Olympic sports. Each purchaser can buy up to 12 tickets for Olympic events and a separate limit of 12 tickets for football competitions. Tickets for the ceremonies will be capped at four per buyer.

Ticket prices for Los Angeles 2028 commence at $28, marking the lowest price point, with one million tickets slated to be sold at this rate. Approximately 5% of all tickets will exceed $1,000. Conversely, over 75% of all tickets, including those for finals, will be priced under $400, and nearly 50% of total tickets will be available for less than $200. Organizers assert that the majority of these ticket prices are competitive and, in many instances, "well below" those for comparable major sports and entertainment events across the United States.

The Los Angeles 2028 organizing committee is also set to launch a multi-platform resale program in 2027, in collaboration with AXS, Ticketmaster, and Sports Illustrated Tickets.
