Good luck! All I hear is how expensive they are but I hope you get something reasonable.

I'm really hoping to attend the Paralympics in 2028. My niece played wheel chair rugby and I was unable to see her play in Paris.

Fantastic! We did paris- managed to get some reasonableish price tickets for am athletics plus did rowing & hockey quarters & semis- DS29's coach was playing. We did end up w 100m finals evening tickets too after a couple of cocktails- no regrets.

Paris accommodation was very expensive so be prepared. We got a great Airbnb in the end but it was not cheap

Paris for 1st release you had to pick 3 events. And France had events all over the country. Then we could add other events individually later.
London 2012 did great prices for kids-you paid their age whatever the ticket cost. That mayve been to U.K. only.

High five @MrsNesbitt! I just got my email this evening too! I'm hoping to get tickets for men's rowing (DS16 is a HS rower) and women's basketball (DD13's favorite sport). Hope your time slot goes well for you!

Congrats you two!! Sad trombone over here as I got an email saying I didn't make the first draw. Still hoping to make a future one. Keep us posted on how the ticket purchase goes and what events you get.

@joey, gonna try for 5x5 WBB or 3x3 or both?

@utang I'm going to try for the 5x5 first, but my DD was also totally obsessed with this past season of Unrivaled so I can't go wrong with the 3x3 option either

My mom got one also for DD16 bday trip(she'll be 17 by then but that works too!)we are going for Equestrian events & volleyball. DD BFF family all signed up and 2 of them got lottery times. I didn't think of that at all so max we'll get is 12 right now.

But worried about price also, do we have any clue how much the price range might be?

3x3 is so fun! Also gives me a heart attack to watch sometimes. Best of luck grabbing some WBB tickets.

Don't know if it will be similar but we paid 60-90 euro for the hockey, rowing etc inc semis. Athletics am early session was 130 euro & the men's 100m final was around 250- that was sonworth it tho.

They've not said anything about kids prices?

How does this work? DS just texted this morning that he was bored a few months ago and signed up for the lottery for tix. He got 12. So I have to figure out where venues are? Then price what I want? And they are stupidly expensive?

@flute said very expensive on other thread- tho I'd hope $1000s for ticket is mega athletics or swim events with hospitality.

Pick a few less-popular sports preliminary rounds, especially women's, less costly, easier to get to, and still Olympic caliber competition/skills that are amazing to watch.

@jenny, the la28 website has a complete schedule and venue list. Along with recommendations for planning well in regards to the venue location and realistic travel time.

Following. My ticket window opens on April 12th, and I'm hoping for swimming or gymnastics, but I heard the first round of local tickets for those sold out within seconds.

Go to SwimSwam to get a general idea about the swim tickets and pricing. I've decided against getting tix. The prices for swim are rough and you don't get a seat. You get an "area" with seat notification later.

Also got our email for Drop 1!! - I am nervous about cost/availability after resident presale this past week. Will be waiting to see if they release more tix at different price points come Monday

Swimming & cycling were impossible or crazy cost for 2012 &2024. Weird not to allocate seats tho.
5:35pm on 4/8/26 by

You should be able to see road cycling and triathlon cycling, each in men's and women's divisions.

I think we've tapped out for the Olympics...the event pricing my mother saw was almost $300 a piece for equestrian events and the logistics makes my head hurt lol.

There were poonts in the run up to Paris that i wldv happily cancelled the lot. We did have to sell back 1 set of tickets as DS GF cldnt come. But it ended up being fantastic & im so glad we did it.
Tho does sound spendt for LA

It's also very early to be selling tickets- Paris was released just over a year ahead
5:30pm on 4/9/26 by

SwimSwam just reported that tickets for all swim finals are sold out and the tickets for prelims that are left are the priciest, "Tier A," at $1600. Think we will host big screen swim parties instead! My tv will be fine!

A lot less hot & sticky too. Tho standing freezing in horizontal rain watching ds19 play hockey recently, I did miss the swim days.
The bike races are great to go to except they go past in a flash. Saw start of the women in paris.

Did catch the tail end of the mens road race too-that was slow & spread out on the steep hill of Montmartre. We'd missed the leaders, just came out of the metro after a hockey event & realised race was still on.

We had 2 chances so far and turned down both because of the prices. Still hoping for surfing at some point.
