"LA28 said it sold more tickets in the first week than any previous Olympic Games had in their opening week, with every ticket in that initial phase going to residents of the Los Angeles and Oklahoma City areas despite some complaints about high prices, fees and availability."
"Organisers acknowledged that some fans experienced sticker shock after a marketing push around the $28 entry-level tickets, only to find many of the cheapest seats had already gone quickly or that some events were priced much higher."
"Allison Katz-Mayfield, LA28's senior vice president for games delivery revenue, told the Reuters news agency that outcome was not unexpected because the least expensive tickets were always likely to move fastest."
Ticket sales for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics opened globally after a record-setting first week of local presales. LA28 sold more tickets in that week than any previous Olympic Games. Hundreds of thousands of $28 tickets were purchased by local buyers, although complaints arose regarding high costs and limited availability. The global sales launch runs through April 19, with tickets available for various Olympic events. Organisers acknowledged that the cheapest tickets sold out quickly, but more low-cost options will be available in future sales phases.
