LA28 Olympic Ticket Registration Opens January 14, 2026

The LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games are set to take place in Los Angeles, and ticket registration for the event will officially open on January 14, 2026. This registration is a crucial first step for fans wishing to secure a chance to purchase tickets for the Games. The process will allow fans to enter a lottery-style draw for a time slot to buy tickets, with single-event tickets starting at $28.

Fans can register for the ticket draw through the official LA28 ticketing website, with registration remaining open until March 18, 2026. The registration does not require any payment and does not guarantee ticket purchase; however, it is mandatory to participate in the ticket lottery. Once registered, fans will receive an email with a randomly assigned time slot for purchasing tickets in April 2026.

LA28 organizers have committed to offering at least 1 million tickets priced at $28, with approximately one-third of all tickets available for under $100. This pricing strategy aims to make the Games accessible to a broader audience, especially in light of criticisms regarding high ticket prices at other sporting events, such as the FIFA World Cup.

Residents living near Olympic venues in Los Angeles and Oklahoma City will have the opportunity to secure a time slot during a special early access window. This initiative is designed to prioritize local fans and ensure they have the chance to attend the Games before tickets are made available to the general public.

Allison Katz-Mayfield, LA28's senior vice president of Games delivery revenue, emphasized the fairness of the ticket draw process, stating, "We're looking at at least a million tickets at $28... No matter when you go in, whether you're the first person in or the last person in, you have the same opportunity." This approach is intended to prevent ticket brokers and bots from monopolizing ticket sales.

Despite the positive reception of the ticket pricing strategy, there remains skepticism regarding the overall accessibility of the Games. Critics argue that even with lower ticket prices, the total cost of attending the Olympics—including travel and accommodation—may still be prohibitive for many potential attendees.

Following the registration period, ticket sales will commence in April 2026, with further details expected to be announced as the date approaches. Additionally, tickets for the Paralympic Games are scheduled to go on sale in 2027, following a similar registration process.
