LA to Give You a Shot at the 2028 Olympics, No Matter Who You Are
If you've ever dreamed of walking into the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and feeling like part of history for a few fleeting days, then it's time to get your hopes up and sign up for an opportunity that could bring those dreams to life. The city has opened up a raffle for tickets to its 2028 Olympics - with seats starting at $28.
For fans around the world who can't quite afford or don't want to pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for the privilege of attending one of the most watched sports events in the world, LA 2028 has come up with a ticketing plan that could make their spirits soar. Starting next month, you'll be able to sign up and enter into a random drawing for tickets.
Those chosen will have the chance to purchase tickets as early as April, depending on how quickly they snap up those available time slots - the first set of event tickets goes on sale at 9 am. And while this may seem like a lot to take in, remember that only one million tickets are available and about one-third of them come with a price tag under $100.
According to the LA 2028 team, every ticket bought will cost no more than $28 - a decision made after receiving public criticism over the price of their previous World Cup. This has been made clear by Casey Wasserman, who stated that "these Games belong to everyone." And it appears this is true as their plan includes special time slots for those in certain locations.
Organizers say the ticketing plan was designed to ensure no one gets left out and that you could end up getting a ticket based on your luck - not because of when you signed up. LA has previously hosted two Olympics, in 1932 and 1984, but this time around they're looking at using their existing infrastructure to host the event.
Tickets are available for purchase starting from April, with opening ceremonies tickets being available alongside track and field events that will take place at the Coliseum, hosting some of LA's most iconic sports history.

This is gonna be lit! I'm so stoked about LA 2028 making tickets affordable for everyone 
$28 max? That's like, a fraction of what they were charging before 
. I feel like this is gonna bring the whole world together, it's all about inclusivity and making sports accessible to everyone 
. And can you believe they're using their existing infrastructure? Talk about smart planning 
. This is gonna be an epic event, I'm already imagining myself cheering on my favorite athletes with a sea of people from all over the globe 
I think this is a fantastic move by the city of Los Angeles 
. Making Olympic tickets accessible to everyone, regardless of their socio-economic status, is a step in the right direction towards promoting unity and inclusivity among the global community 
. It's also interesting to see that special time slots will be available for certain locations, which I suppose is a nod to ensuring that people from all walks of life have an equal chance at getting tickets 
. The fact that only 1 million tickets are available, but about one-third of them come with a price tag under $100, also suggests that the organizers are trying to make this event more inclusive and not just a spectacle for the wealthy 
. Overall, I think this is a great move that will likely bring people together from all over the world 
?! so they're literally making it so anyone can go to the 2028 Olympics, no matter who you are or where you come from! i'm low-key super excited for people who've been dreaming of attending but couldn't afford it - $28 is still kinda steep tho 
. but hey, i get why they did it after getting slammed for being too expensive last time. and the fact that they're giving special time slots to certain locations? awesome! it's like they wanna make sure everyone gets a shot at history 
. This kind of initiative just goes to show that LA 2028 really does want these Games to belong to everyone 
. I don't think anyone should have to worry about money when it comes to attending the Olympics, but at the same time, LA's doing this whole "we want everyone" thing which is cool and all 
. Plus, have you seen the size of LA's population? Like, a million tickets isn't even that many considering how big the city is... I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens 
- that's crazy cheap! I mean, I did see my ex at a sports game last year and we ended up talking about our shared love of basketball... but anyway 
. The thing is, these games are literally for everyone, according to the organizers, so you don't have to be rich or famous to attend. I've been thinking about going with my family, we could totally make it a fun trip and even meet some celebs!
. I think this is a great idea and I'm definitely keeping an eye on it 
, all this just creates hype and people end up buying overpriced merch 
i feel like this is such a amazing way la 2028 is trying to make the olympics more accessible to everyone! $28 ticket price is super reasonable & i love they're offering special time slots for certain locations 
that's so cool! it's all about making sure EVERYONE can be there to cheer on their fave athletes 
. One mil tickets and only 1/3 of 'em are under $100 is still a lot, but at least its not outta reach for most peeps. I'm thinkin that if you sign up now, you might just get lucky and snag those tickets in April 
, what's next? $28 for a hot dog at the Olympics? 
It's like they're trying to nickel and dime us. And don't even get me started on the fact that only one million tickets are available... that's still too many for my taste 
. What I'm really thinking is, how are they planning to make sure these lower-income folks can actually afford it? 
I'm so hyped about LA giving out free or super cheap tickets to the 2028 Olympics 
! It's like they're saying "Hey, everyone deserves a shot" 
? I mean, it's not just about the sports, it's about the whole experience 
. Come on, LA 2028, you're doing it right
