LA28 Public Ticket Drop Opens; No Finals Swimming Tickets in Early Release

Tickets for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics opened to the general public today, but there are no finals swimming tickets in Drop 1; prelims are available only in the top-tier category A, with prelim prices around $1,100, while finals range from about $186 to $1,860. Finals had already sold out in the local LA/OKC presale, and organizers say additional inventory will be released in later drops. If future drops don’t free up swimming sessions, non-locals may need to rely on resale markets due to high demand.
