I understand from the LA28 YouTube video that they will hold back some tickets in all categories for future ticket drops. Won’t change pricing but will provide availability.
Staying away from water polo tix. No way to guarantee seeing USA play. If had to bet, USAWP will flood the market with tickets for local athletes for group stages and maybe even quarters and semis.
Can’t believe basketball tix. Intuit is amazing venue but boy are we going to pay for it.
I just noticed that the best deal in waterpolo seems to be the semis. When you buy a ticket, it’s good for both semis games, back to back. So you get to watch the 4 best teams go at it, and the best games are often in the semis and not in the finals
There are 4 pricing levels. For the womens final, the cheapest tickets “D” were all gone when my time slot came up, so I was able to get ‘C’ level tickets for that final. There were ‘D’ level tickets for preliminary rounds and quarter finals, but you have no idea who will be playing in them.
It mentions somewhere on the ticket buying portal, that not all cheapest tickets are released during the first ticket releases and that some are saved for later releases, so I assume the best option is to log in, right when somebody’s time slot comes up, and go right to the event you want to see the most, and try it. I think once you put them in your ‘cart’ they are yours, for thirty minutes, which gives you a chance to browse around.
One of my co workers just bought $28 tickets for Mountain bike races, so the $28 tickets, as promised by La28 organizers, are there.
He tried for cheap soccer tickets first, and those were all gone of course
We were given a slot to purchase tickets this morning and everything outside of water polo prelims is sold out. You still have the option to purchase hospitality seats at the price of $500 for Category B assigned seats ($205 for standard seats, but sold out), which is basically like getting club level seats at a stadium.
I would be curious to see if anyone with later purchase slots are able to purchase standard seats.
I received my time allotment for last Sunday, but when I did my analysis, it wasn’t worth it. $460 minimum was my best option for preliminary 2 match tickets. Women’s basketball was a much better deal at around $150 plus service fee for the preliminary games. We will see what it all looks like downstream.
Maybe you should have gotten some of those tickets. You would have had two years to plan on how you can break a leg and be wheelchair ridden for a couple weeks
My daughter got me two prelim tickets thinking it was men’s but it was women’s. I’ll use them because it’s the Olympics but will be looking to trade for the men’s as we get closer.
