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.

• 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.
