🎟️ How to buy Olympic tickets

1. Register first (this is REQUIRED)

• You go to the official LA28 Olympics website and create an account
• Registration opened in early 2026
• Everyone who signs up is entered into a random draw (lottery)

👉 You can’t just buy tickets anytime—you must register first.

2. Get selected in the lottery

• If you’re chosen, you’ll get:
  • A specific date and time to buy tickets
• If you’re not selected, you may get another chance in later rounds

This system helps prevent crashes and gives everyone a fair shot.

3. Buy tickets during your time slot

• When your time comes:
  • You log in and pick your events (like basketball, swimming, etc.)
  • You choose price categories (cheap → premium)
• You’ll have a limited time window (often about 48 hours) to buy

4. Ticket limits

• You can usually buy up to:
  • 12 tickets total across events
• Each ticket = one event session (not the whole sport)

5. Prices

• Some tickets start around $28
• Most are under a few hundred dollars
• Big events (like finals or opening ceremony) can be much more expensive

6. More chances later

• Tickets are released in multiple waves (“drops”)
• There will also be:
  • Official resale platforms starting closer to 2027
