Topline:
The deadline to register for a drawing to buy L.A. 2028 Olympics tickets is Wednesday before midnight. But that’s just the first step.
Why it matters: Registering enters you into a drawing for a slot in April to buy tickets. You will be notified between March 31 and April 7 if you’ve been selected for one of those slots.
Buying tickets: The ticket pre-sale for L.A. locals in certain ZIP codes takes place April 2 – 6. Everyone else selected for a slot will be able to buy tickets April 9 – 19.
Ticket limits: People are limited to 12 tickets, but there are group rates for 50 or more. Babies and kids will love the Olympics, but each one needs a ticket.
Re-selling: Olympics officials say it’s OK to re-sell your tickets.
