What to know about Olympics 2028 tickets
The Los Angeles Summer Olympics are still more than two years away, but the process to secure tickets will start early next year.
How will Olympics tickets work?
Aspiring spectators must first register online beginning in January, then later in 2026 there will be a series of drawings to assign a time slot to purchase tickets.
Ticket sales for the Paralympic Games will follow in 2027.

If you live near the Rose Bowl, Dodger Stadium, or any other Olympic venue, you’re in luck: Olympic organizers said in a statement that nearby residents will have early access to tickets.
“The LA28 Games will be an opportunity to purchase a ticket to history,” LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover said in a statement. “Whether you’re a local family attending your first Olympic or Paralympic event or a global traveler joining us for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, there really will be something for everyone across our suite of ticket options and hospitality packages.”
About 2.4 million tickets were sold to the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, the second largest attendance following the 2012 London Games.
How much will Olympics tickets cost?
Single tickets will start at $28. There will also be a variety of packages that include transportation, premium seating and additional experiences.
What to watch out for
Olympic organizers are working with ticketing providers AXS and EVENTIM.

It’s unclear what the resale market for the 2028 L.A. Games will look like. Paris 2024 Summer Olympic organizers offered an official resale option through its app, but scammers still created hundreds of websites selling fake tickets leading up to the games.
What's next?
LA28 said more information about the ticket-buying process will be shared later this year. You can sign up for their newsletter to stay in the loop.
What will the 2028 Olympics be like for LA?
The opening ceremony will be July 14, 2028 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the Stadium in Inglewood. The competition will run through July 30. The Paralympic games will start August 15 and end August 27.
The Olympics are already having a big effect on Los Angeles:
- When the Olympics and Paralympics come to town in 2028, they'll bring a massive security operation with them.
- Plans to increase the minimum wage by 2028 set off a series of competing ballot propositions that city officials are warning could derail city finances and plans for the upcoming Olympic Games.
- LA28 has made a major investment into local youth sports, which also includes adaptive sports for children with disabilities.
