2028 Summer Olympics

[isufbcurt]

So my daughter lives in LA and was selected in the lottery for local residents to buy tickets to various events, so we were looking at going to some events but man the prices are crazy.

T&F - $600 each
Tennis - $1000 each
Opening Ceremonies - $3000 - $5000 each
Beach VB - $28
Gymnastics - sold out
Swimming - $500

Beach volleyball it is, or is that a typo

Nope that is correct. That was my suggestion.

 

[isufbcurt]

Really wanted to see some T&F events

 

[psycln11]

Is that just for the men's beach volleyball?

That'd me my luck.

We were just on a call with the daughter and she was on the site to buy tickets reading us the prices for each.

If you like golf (I don't) that was pretty cheap at $28

That's awesome, good for you guys. I'd be all over T&F and beach VB. Swimming would be cool to see too. Surprised tennis is more than swimming and T&F.

The prices were really random in my opinion

 

[CY9008]

These aren’t the prices on the secondary market? I thought they claimed there would be a ton of “affordable” tickets to most events.

No it's a lottery presale that is only supposed to be open to local residents,

 

[CY9008]

Are the local presales more premium seats do you think? But I guess the events you have listed are some of the most popular/sought after tix so probs in that top 25% price point.

LA 2028 Olympic organizers say 1m tickets will be available for $28

Yeah not sure. I was fine paying a few hundred a ticket even for nose bleeds but the prices we are seeing are nuts.

IF I were to go to the Olympics, I'd want to see the flag football... since this might be the one and only time it's ever an Olympic sport.

Very interested to see the set up for swimming in SoFi. Supposedly will set the record with 40,000 capacity.

Maybe their selling 1M tickets to beach volleyball. A lot of standing room only.

So are they setting everything on top of the field or taking the field out to make a temporary venue?

If like to know the same. Similar for swimming or gymnastics.
