LA open ticket draw for Olympics with seats starting at $28

Sport fans will be able to sign up from Wednesday for a chance to attend the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games - with tickets starting at $28 (£20.80).

Registration opens at 07:00 local time (15:00 GMT) for fans to enter a random ticket draw covering all events that will take place at the Games. The window will remain open until mid-March.

If chosen, fans will be notified via email and will be given a time slot to purchase tickets in April. One million of those tickets will sell for $28, and about one-third are set to cost less than $100 (£74.41).

“These Games belong to everyone,” Casey Wasserman, the chairman of LA 2028 said on Tuesday. “These Games have to be affordable and inclusive.”

The announcement of affordable ticket prices come after the price of tickets for the 2026 men’s football World Cup - which will also be hosted in the US, as well as Canada and Mexico - received some public criticism.
