Topline:
LA28 announced Wednesday that the second round of tickets for the L.A. Olympics will run from August 10–20. Organizers say the second drop will offer tickets across all sports at a range of price points.
How can I register? Register here by July 22. Fans must register in order to enter the ticket lottery for a time slot. If you already entered in the first round and haven’t met your ticket limit, you’ll automatically be re-entered for the upcoming round.
When will I know? Fans will be notified if they receive a slot on August 6-7. If selected, you’ll receive an email with details on your time slot for the ticket draw.
Details on tickets: During your slot, you’ll be able to purchase up to 12 tickets, and another 12 soccer tournament tickets. Tickets to the opening and closing ceremonies are limited to four, which count towards the general 12-ticket maximum for Olympic events.
What happened last time: The April ticket launch sold 4 million tickets, and included a presale just for locals. LA28 said 95% of presale tickets were priced under $100, although some fans were disappointed by unexpectedly high prices and hefty service fees.
Will there be other chances? LA28 said that “fans can look forward to additional purchase opportunities” closer to the Games. Next year, they’ll also launch a secure, verified ticket resale site. Ticket sales for the Paralympic Games begin in 2027, according to LA28.
