For the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, ticket prices vary widely, with over 75% of tickets priced under $400 and nearly 50% under $200. While 1 million tickets start at $28, high-demand event finals can cost thousands, with some premium seats exceeding $5,000. Many events offer a wide range of prices.
Budget Options: Over 1 million tickets are available for $28, and more are expected to be released, according to the 1 and LA28 official site.
Mid-Range: Nearly 50% of tickets are priced under $200.
Premium/Finals: High-demand tickets (e.g., gymnastics, swimming finals) can range from $700 to over $2,300, with some top-tier options reaching $5,500.
Opening Ceremony: Tickets range from roughly $300 to over $5,500, according to reports, and a 24% service fee applies to many - that's over and above the actual ticket cost.
Comparison: The 2028 ticket prices are notably higher than previous games, with some residents finding them less affordable than promised.
Availability: Tickets are sold through a lottery system, meaning demand often outstrips supply, especially for popular events. Good luck finding housing during your stay if you don't have relatives in the area...
NO taxpayer money should be spent on this! NONE! Zero. ZIP! NADA!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that to buy a $400 ticket you need to pay Ticketmaster a $500 'convenience fee'?
ReplyDeleteI stopped watching the Olympic or even caring about them a long time ago. Winter or Summer, I don't care. It used to mean something but with all the professionals involved it's like the NFL or NBA neither of which I watch.
ReplyDeleteThe Civil War or WW3 will be raging and likely the games will be canceled.
