Registration for LA28 Olympic Ticket Draw Now Open

Long Beach, CA - The LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games today opened registration for the LA28 Ticket Draw* for all 2028 Olympic sports. Registration is the first step for a chance to secure a timeslot to purchase tickets, providing residents of Long Beach and the greater Los Angeles region with a chance to buy tickets during a special early-access window ahead of tickets going on sale to the general public on April 9.

Here's how it works:

• Starting now, through March 18, fans around the world can register for the LA28 Ticket Draw and the opportunity to be selected for a time slot when Olympic tickets go on sale.  

• Time slots to purchase during Drop 1 will run from April 9 to April 19, 2026.  

• Fans will be notified by email from March 31 to April 7, 2026, if they've been assigned a time slot. 

• There will be rolling ticket drops starting in April 2026. Fans are encouraged to register today for the best choice of tickets and events, as capacity may be filled or limited in subsequent drops. Paralympic tickets will go on sale in 2027. 

• Fans only need to register once to be entered for future ticket draws and Paralympic draws once tickets for this event go on sale later in 2027. Those not selected for the first drop will automatically be entered into future draws. 

• Anyone who wants access to tickets - whether for one sport or multiple events - will need to register for the LA28 Ticket Draw. 

• If registrants selected for a time slot do not purchase the maximum amount of tickets allotted for the Olympic Games (12 per person) during that slot, they will automatically be entered into subsequent ticket draws. 

• Tickets to the Opening and Closing Ceremony will be available in Drop 1. 

• Tickets start at $28, and details on pricing for all categories will be available when Drop 1 opens in April 2026.
