Tickets for 2028 Los Angeles Olympics to go on sale Thursday. Here's what you need to know
The race for tickets to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles is heating up, and fans are already feeling the burn. The first slate of time slots to purchase tickets opens Thursday for the global market. That will run through April 19.
There will then be additional draws for tickets and purchase opportunities through 2028. The LA28 Olympic Committee says hundreds of thousands of Southern Californians secured affordable tickets during the local pre-sale, adding that LA28 exceeded first week sales for any previous Olympic games. But many who logged in last week as part of the pre-sale found sold out events, steep prices and even "Access Denied" messages.
Despite the high prices people saw during pre-sale, LA28 says they're offering tickets for everyone. According to officials, more than a million tickets will be available for $28. Nearly 50% of the tickets are under $200 and more than 75% of all Olympic tickets, including finals, are under $400.
They say only about 5% of the tickets, including prime seats to marquee events, will cost more than $1,000. Meanwhile, adding to the confusion, StubHub is also set to list tickets starting at 10 a. m.
Thursday. But LA28 says any resale tickets you see on any site before 2027 are not verified . Stubhub isn't even one of the verified Olympic resale partners such as Ticketmaster and Sports Illustrated Tickets.
