LOS ANGELES, March 30 (Xinhua) -- Organizers announced on Monday that tickets for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games will go on sale to the public on April 9, with a presale for local residents in Los Angeles and Oklahoma City set to begin on April 2.
According to the ticketing plan released by LA28, fans who have registered for the ticket draw will receive email notifications on a rolling basis from March 31 to April 7.
Locals in Los Angeles and Oklahoma City will receive presale time-slot notifications from March 31 to April 4. On April 7, randomly selected registrants from the remaining ticket-draw pool will receive notifications of their assigned purchase windows for the first ticket drop.
"This week marks the first opportunity for fans to claim a seat at the LA28 Olympic Games," said LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover. "We've been thrilled to see the outpouring of enthusiasm from fans all around the world, and we're counting down the final days to people being able to secure their tickets to history."
Tickets will be sold by price category, while specific seats will be assigned closer to the Games, in line with standard Olympic and Paralympic ticketing practice.
Fans selected for a purchase window will be able to buy up to 12 tickets across for Olympic events and up to 12 additional tickets for football tournament matches, which will not count toward the general maximum for Olympic events. Tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies will be limited to four per person and will count toward the overall Olympic ticket allotment. According to the plan, this round of sales will cover all sports.
The organizing committee also announced that a verified multi-platform ticket resale program will launch in 2027.
Registrants who do not receive a purchase window in either the local presale or the first ticket drop will automatically be entered into future ticket draws.
Paralympic tickets are scheduled to go on sale in 2027. ■
