Where it stands
As of 12 Oct 2026
No public ticketing and no ballot announced.
The Games are in January 2028 across three sites in Valtellina, Trentino and Cortina, with seven of the eleven proposed venues reused from Milano Cortina 2026, and the official olympics.com event page carries no ticketing section. The IOC announced the event programme on 15 Dec 2025 with no ticketing details.
Ticketing information would be expected during 2027, after Milano Cortina 2026, but that is a precedent-based expectation rather than an announced plan.
How tickets actually work
Nothing available yet; monitor https://www.olympics.com/en/olympic-games/dolomiti-valtellina-2028. Based on Lausanne 2020 and Gangwon 2024 precedent, expect free entry or free pre-registration rather than a paid public ballot.
Your odds
Not applicable.
Good to know
The Games are organised by a dedicated organising committee led by CONI, awarded on 30 January 2025 at the 143rd IOC Session. The IOC programme decision of 15 December 2025 sets a shorter competition period within the Games window, so the detailed schedule may firm up later.
Earlier Winter Youth Olympic Games used free tickets without public ballots, which is why no ballot is listed here.
