Topline: Registration to attend the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles will start in January with ticket sales for the Paralympic Games to follow in 2027.
How Olympics tickets work: Aspiring spectators must first register online, then later in 2026 there will be a series of drawings to assign a time slot to purchase tickets. People that live near the Games venues will have early access to tickets.
How much will tickets cost? Single tickets will start at $28. There will also be a variety of packages that include transportation, premium seating and additional experiences.
Who’s in charge? “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.”
What’s next: LA28 said more information about the ticket-buying process will be shared later this year. Sign up for their newsletter to stay in the loop and follow LAist’s Olympic coverage.
