Fans hoping to secure tickets for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will have a new opportunity to purchase passes in August, as the LA28 organizing committee prepares for a second ticket sales window. According to official information released by LA28, the next phase of sales is scheduled to take place from August 10 through August 20, covering a wide range of sports and price points.
This upcoming release follows an initial ticket launch that organizers described as the most successful in the history of the Olympic movement. During that first window, more than 4 million tickets were sold to the public, according to statements from the International Olympic Committee. While the first round saw high demand, the second window aims to provide additional access to events across the 2028 program.
How to Register for the August Ticket Drop
To participate in the August sale, fans must register their interest on the official LA28 website by the end of July. This registration process is a prerequisite for receiving an invitation to purchase tickets. Once the registration period closes, the organization will notify successful applicants via email between August 6 and August 7 to inform them whether they have been assigned a specific time slot for the sale.
For those who participated in the initial LA28 presale in April, the process is simplified: these individuals do not need to register again. Their existing accounts remain active for the upcoming window, and they will be included in the selection process for the August sale automatically.
Ticket Pricing and Purchasing Limits
The organizing committee has implemented specific guidelines regarding ticket quantities to ensure broad access. Fans are permitted to purchase a maximum of 12 tickets for Olympic events in total. For the Opening and Closing ceremonies, however, the limit is restricted to four tickets per person. An exception to the general limit exists for soccer matches, where fans may purchase up to 12 tickets for those specific events.
Pricing remains a central concern for many potential attendees, particularly following public feedback regarding the affordability of the initial ticket release. In response to concerns from Southern California residents, LA28 organizers have noted that during the first round of sales, 95% of all tickets allocated to local residents were priced at or below $100, according to data provided by the organizing committee. While the upcoming drop will feature tickets across various price tiers, supply is expected to be limited, and organizers have indicated that all sales will continue while supplies last.
Future Resale Options for Olympic Tickets
Recognizing the long lead time before the 2028 Games, LA28 has announced plans for a secure ticket resale network. This platform is scheduled to launch in 2027, providing a verified environment for fans to trade or resell tickets safely. This move is intended to prevent unauthorized secondary market activity and ensure that tickets remain accessible at fair values as the Games approach.
As of now, the next confirmed checkpoint for prospective attendees is the July registration deadline. Fans are encouraged to monitor the official LA28 communication channels for updates regarding the specific timing of the August window.
