Fans Can Now Register for a Chance to Attend LA 2028
Registration officially opened today for fans worldwide to sign up for a ticket lottery that gives a chance to purchase seats at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. This is the first step in getting access to tickets ahead of sales later this year.
The ticket registration window opened January 14, 2026 and will remain open until March 18, 2026.
Fans sign up on the official LA28 website with their name, email and (for U.S. residents) ZIP code — this enters them into a random draw that will assign a time slot to purchase tickets in April 2026.
Ticket Costs & Affordability
Organizers emphasized affordability and inclusivity as a core goal for the 2028 Games — contrasting with criticism of high prices at other major global sporting events.
Tickets start at just $28 (~£20.80) — offering a low-cost entry option for many fans.
At least 1 million tickets across all Olympic sports will be priced at this entry level.
About one-third of all tickets — out of the expected 14 million available — will cost less than $100 (~£74).
LA28 Chairman Casey Wasserman said the aim is to ensure these Games “belong to everyone,” with accessible pricing for local and international spectators alike.
What Happens After Registration
Once fans register:
Between March 31 and April 7, 2026, selected applicants will receive an email with a ticket purchase time slot.
The first ticket purchasing window runs from April 2–6, 2026 for local residents in select Southern California and Oklahoma counties.
The first general public sale then takes place April 9–19, 2026.
Fans can buy up to 12 tickets per person during their assigned window.
This registration covers all Olympic events, and a separate ticketing process for the 2028 Paralympic Games will begin in 2027.
Ceremony & Community Highlights
To mark the opening of ticket registration, organizers held a ceremonial lighting of the Olympic cauldron at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum — a venue with Olympic history from 1932 and 1984. The event included past Olympians and Paralympians celebrating the start of the road to LA28.
Officials noted over 150,000 volunteers have already signed up to help deliver the Games, highlighting strong community engagement.
Bottom Line
Fans worldwide can now register for a chance to attend the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games — with ticket sales to follow based on a lottery-style ticket draw. Organizers have committed to affordable pricing, with many tickets starting at $28 and a significant chunk under $100. Early registration increases your chance of securing a purchase time and getting the best choice of events before tickets sell out.
