Overview
- LA28’s first global “Drop 1” sales window, which opened Thursday, runs through April 19 for fans selected by a random ticket draw.
- Listed prices range from $28 to about $5,500, and a 24% service fee at checkout has fueled complaints from buyers who expected cheaper options.
- LA28 says nearly half of all seats are under $200, more than three-quarters are under $400, and roughly 5% are premium seats priced above $1,000.
- Officials say no new inventory was added for the global phase after a locals-only presale in Southern California and Oklahoma City claimed many lower-priced seats.
- More public drops are planned later in 2026 and a verified resale marketplace will launch in 2027, with organizers warning that any resale listings seen now are not LA28-verified.
