LA28 Ticket Frenzy: Early Drops Bring High Prices and Tech Glitches
LA28 kicked off the Olympics’ earliest ticket release with local presales and a general drop, pricing tickets from $28 to $5,519 and adding a 24% service fee. While nearly half of tickets are under $200 and most under $400, many fans still feel priced out amid demand-driven pricing. Users faced access issues like “Access Denied” during time-slot windows, though LA28 said pricing reflects analytics, venue capacity, session type, and demand. Multiple future drops are planned, with limits of 12 tickets per person (plus 12 for soccer).
