Good to know

Adversarially verified 2026-07-07. Event dates 15-29 Jan 2028 confirmed as the officially stated window on olympics.com, bormio.eu and Wikipedia; note the IOC programme decision (15 Dec 2025) sets a shorter 8-day competition period within the Games, so the detailed competition schedule may firm up later. No ticketing, ballot or spectator programme found anywhere (searched English and Italian incl. 'biglietti'). Organizer corrected to the dedicated YOGOC led by CONI (awarded 30 Jan 2025, 143rd IOC Session). Prior winter YOGs used free tickets without public ballots, so ballot_exists=no is well supported. dates_estimated set to false: event dates are official and ballot date fields are empty (unknown), not estimates. Caveat: olympics.com blocks direct fetches (timeouts), so official page content was verified via indexed page content and official mirrors (bormio.eu, IOC press feed).
