Full guideLA28 Olympic tickets: draw results and the next drops

Where it stands

As of 28 Sept 2026

Registration closed 22 Jul 2026.

Drop 2 time slot notifications went out 6 Aug 2026 to 07, and Drop 2 purchase slots ran 10 Aug 2026 to 20 Aug 2026. LA28's own ticketing page calls Drop 2 the final general public ticket drop of 2026.

The Visa presale that ran ahead of this draw finished 31 Jul 2026, and anyone not selected for it was entered into this draw automatically. No further 2026 ticket draws are planned: LA28 says Olympic tickets go on sale first-come first-served starting in 2027, with no draw and no purchase caps, alongside a first Paralympic ticket drop; neither has a published date yet.

For 2027 sales LA28 says draw registration is no longer required (an LA28 ID is enough), ticket maximums from the first two drops are lifted, and its verified resale program launches, with LA28's Official Secondary Ticket Marketplace, AXS and Eventim, and LA28's Verified Resale Platforms as the only verified resale channels.

How to enter

Create an LA28 ID account and register for the LA28 Ticket Draw at tickets.la28.org before 22 Jul 2026 23:59 PT. Fans already registered (e.g. for Drop 1) are automatically entered into the Drop 2 draw and all subsequent draws until they hit ticket maximums. Selected fans get an emailed random time slot to buy tickets during the drop window.

Your odds

LA28 said on 29 Jul 2026 that registration had climbed to 12 million fans from over 200 countries and all 50 US states (up from more than 5 million in February 2026), and that Drop 1 put 4M+ tickets in fans' hands, so selection is not guaranteed. That 12 million is a cumulative registration total across every draw, not a per-drop figure, and LA28 has never published how many time slots a drop issues, so no selection rate is derivable from it. Odds depend on registrants vs available time slots. A time slot does not guarantee inventory for a specific session. Visa Presale winners are excluded from receiving a Drop 2 slot. Ticket limits: up to 12 Olympic tickets plus up to 12 additional football (soccer) tickets, max 4 per ceremony. On 21 Aug 2026 LA28 said total Olympic ticket sales had surpassed 6 million, with the vast majority of available inventory sold; that is tickets sold, a different measure from the 12 million registrations.

Good to know

The 2026 draw schedule in full, as LA28 published it. Registration closed 22 Jul 2026, and one registration covered both the Visa Presale Draw and the Drop 2 Draw.

Before that, Drop 1 registration ran 14 Jan 2026 to 18 Mar 2026 and included a Locals Presale, with the Drop 1 purchase window 9 Apr 2026 to 19 Apr 2026. Every LA28 deadline time is Pacific Time.
