The last email I got was on March 27th:
YOUR TICKET MOMENT IS ALMOST HERE! 
Youāve registered for tickets to the LA28Olympic and Paralympic Games. Hereās what to know as the first time slots begin, with notification emails landing between March 31 and April 7.
I havenāt received any yay or nay emails.
I had a slot and purchased 12 tickets in total. I was online as soon as it opened and had access to tickets about ten minute wait. By the time I got to the ticket sections, all the finals were sold out. I wanted Athletic tickets, but they were astronomical, even for nosebleed.
Settled on this: Beach volleyball 1/4 final, decent seats, $495 + @118 service fee. Another beach volleyball round of 16, $250 + $60. Soccer prelim round, Cat C, $335 + $80 service fee. Golf was cheap, $25 I think.
I looked at rowing, triathlon and open water swimming, but tickets werenāt available. Maybe those events are open to the public. We have friends who live on Bayshore so I think there are events we can see from their balcony.
We got a time slot for next week, but havenāt looked at anything yet. With the ticket prices yāall are saying, I think it will be out of reach, wanting to save that money for other experiences.
Man, those service fees are ridiculous. I know thatās not news, but still kind of shocking to see.
So, I guess one cannot see ticket prices until the time slot for purchase opens up?
My email was a NO.
Thinking maybe it might be more fun to go to the swimming trials.
Iām in!
Congratulations, GMAN!
Youāve been assigned a time slot to purchase LA28 Olympics tickets during Drop 1.
Your Time Slot:
The day before your time slot opens, look out for an email which will include a link to access your time slot.
Before Your Time Slot Opens:
Key Ticket Purchase Information:
We look forward to welcoming you to the LA28 Games.
āThe LA28 Ticketing Team
Mineās April 15ā¦ I imagine there wonāt be much to choose from.
Sounds like ticket prices are going to make this a non-starter for me anyway. Plus we have no idea how bad hotel pricing and availability will be.
Iād hate to spend a small fortune on event tickets to find out the Courtyard by Marriott near my event zone is $1,500 per night. Iām not looking to spend $20,000 to watch a handful of Olympic events.
Whatās up with:
Are these tickets currently on sale?
Open water swimming- I assume there must be some viewing point? Are there tickets?
Streaming- for the marathon, the road race, time trial, mountain biking, etc. - it will be better if you can see more than your little bit of the course.
Will live streaming be available?
Screens - if you pay for noises bleed seats will you be able to actually see anything?
Anyone actually try to book a hotel yet? How much?
Hotels usually donāt allow booking of reservations until 9-12 months out. So we will have no idea how much hotels will cost until about a year and a half after you buy tickets.
I got the āNopeā email too. Those prices are insane. Guess I will just be going to the Track and Field Trialsā¦
I think that would probably be more fun. Or the Prefontaine Classic.
The current rumor is that the LA locals drop and Drop 1 are not two different drops, but will share the same inventory. So what we showed having been picked over before will be even worse as they start to move into the Drop 1 days.
Drop 1 UPDATE AS OF 04/08 : r/olympics
But the message from LA28 is pretty vague, so itās possible that they will be replenishing some of the sports. But the fact that they are already warning people that some sports are gone seems to signal that there wonāt be too much out there for the rest of Drop 1. The_GMANās time is a good one so that should tell us a lot, but Iām guessing anyone with the 11th or after will only be able to find the most expensive tickets for each event.
My kids and I all got slots, but our earliest is April 12th. We definitely will not be buying 36 tickets, but Iām glad we all got in. Can you share your experience after you select your tickets? Iām overwhelmed by the entire process and am wondering if we will end up with any tickets after what Iāve been reading. We have 12th, 15th and 17th slots. We want to try to catch the cycling road race(s), the marathon race(s) and anything in between.
ETA: not necessarily buying tickets for cycling or the marathon, but thatās the time frame we would like to be there.
My open slot was for yesterday, got tickets for preliminary games for baseball and football (soccer). Reports I heard on local L A radio said prices were way inflated compared to previous Games in Europe. There were no tickets left for track cycling and only prelims for swimming (big $$$). Iād hope the road cycling and triathlon courses will be easily accessible to the public like the ā84 games were for cycling. Hard to pay big bucks for events that I donāt know whoāll be competing, and hoping Iāll still be alive in 2028. Put the details in with our trust papers so the kids can get them if I kick off.
Thanks. Swimming and track cycling are the top two for us, followed by gymnastics and t&f. Weāve been talking about doing this with our kids since we heard it would be in LA so we have to make it happen (and I even gave them an out last week to trade for any other vacation and they still chose this).
I probably just need to be more flexible. I saw basketball and equestrian in Atlanta in 1996 and had a great experience.
My windows is today.
I bought:
2 Ć session 8 athletics nose bleed -$790
(Finals- 800m women, 5000m women, high jump men, 1500m semi men)
Did NOT buy swimming prelims-1300
Not available: Triathlon (stadium), Track cycling, Mtn Bike, OW swim, Menās water polo, Gymnastics
I just put up another thread on how I just got swimming final tickets, and fairly reasonable too. Check it out..
