The 2028 Olympics, taking place in Los Angeles, are still more than two years away, but fans are already getting a cool opportunity to grab tickets!
According to the BBC, LA officials announced that fans can sign up for a random ticket draw until mid-March and possibly get a chance to attend multiple Olympic events for low prices in 2028.
Los Angeles officials shared details about the exciting opportunity on Tuesday as they came together at the LA Memorial Coliseum to light the LA28 Olympic cauldron ahead of launching ticket registration for the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Event organizers, along with hundreds of Olympians and Paralympians, were also present.
How to register for the 2028 LA Olympics ticket draw
Fans can create a profile and register for the ticket draw online beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 14. Winners will be notified by email. They will then have the option to buy tickets for as low as $28. In April, organizers will reveal the time slots for purchasing tickets.
“These Games belong to everyone,” Casey Wasserman, who’s serving as the chairman of LA 2028, said on Tuesday, per the BBC. “These Games have to be affordable and inclusive.”
Officials noted that fans who are given the earliest time slots will have the best chance to secure low-priced tickets. They also said that everybody who gets a time slot is not guaranteed to get tickets.
