Following the conclusion of the locals presale for the 2028 Olympics, attention turns to the next ticket drop. The first ticket drop for LA28 runs from April 9 to 19. Some locals are sharing what they learned from the presale.
Crucial Ticketing Advice
When your time slot opens, go directly to the events you want and add tickets to your cart. Add tickets even if you’re unsure about the price; you can remove them later. Once you add your first tickets, you’ll have 30 minutes to check out, securing those seats for that time.
Add more tickets to your cart, keeping in mind the 12-ticket limit per account, with an additional 12-ticket limit for football matches. The first few minutes of your time slot are important for getting seats at popular events. Decide if you’ve exceeded your budget and remove tickets or proceed to checkout. Multiple transactions are allowed within your 48-hour window, so you don’t need to buy all tickets at once.
Using Event Codes for Efficiency
If you want to attend high-demand events, avoid wasting time scrolling through hundreds of sessions. Research beforehand as LA28 has a table of every event, each with a five-digit session code. Type the code into the ticketing page search bar to go directly to the event you want.
Navigating the official PDF can be unwieldy.
