LA28 Olympic Ticket Draw Registration Opens January 14, 2026 – How to Enter for Free
The LA28 Olympic Ticket Draw registration is officially open as of today, January 14, 2026, starting at 7:00 AM PT (Pacific Time — which is PST, since January is in standard time).This is the first step for anyone worldwide to get a chance at purchasing tickets for the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympic Games (July 14–30, 2028) and eventually the Paralympics (August 2028). No payment or purchase is required to register — it's free and non-binding!
How to Register
Head to the official site: https://tickets.la28.org (or via la28.org/ticketing).
If you have an existing LA28 account, sign in and complete the registration prompts.
If not, create a new account during the process (provide accurate contact details).
Registration runs until March 18, 2026, at 11:59 PM PT.
Register early to avoid potential high traffic or technical issues toward the end — you can cancel if needed via their help center.
What Happens Next
Once registered, you're entered into a random draw (conducted after March 18).
Winners get assigned a random time slot to purchase tickets during upcoming "drops" (first major one: April 9–19, 2026).
You'll be notified via email (up to 48 hours in advance of your slot).
Tickets start at $28 USD for single sessions across all sports (with ~1 million at this price; many under $100).
Limit: Up to 12 Olympic tickets per account (if you don't buy the max in your slot, you're auto-entered for future draws).
Special early access for locals: Registrants with billing addresses in Southern California counties (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura) or Oklahoma (for specific venues) get priority in an initial presale window (April 2–6, 2026).
Visa is the official payment method.
Full terms: Available on the site (updated as of January 14, 2026) — must be 18+, not from sanctioned countries, etc. Terms can change; check for the latest.
Key Reminders
This is just for the Olympics — Paralympic tickets go on sale in 2027.
Hospitality packages (premium seating, VIP, etc.) from On Location start in 2026.
No guarantee of a slot or tickets — availability isn't assured, and popular events may sell out quickly.
If you're planning to attend (e.g., for marquee sports like athletics at the Coliseum, surfing at Trestles, or skateboarding downtown), now's the time to sign up! For the most up-to-date details, visit la28.org or tickets.la28.org directly. Good luck securing your spot for the Games!
