Standard tickets for aquatics events at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics have completely sold out during Drop 2, according to reports from Guavy. Fans looking to attend swimming, open water swimming, water polo, artistic swimming, and diving competitions can no longer purchase standard admission at any price point.
Aquatic Sports Sell Out Across All Price Tiers
According to Guavy, the rapid sellout affects every tier for aquatic disciplines, leaving no standard inventory available following the opening of the non-VISA presale window on August 10th. During Drop 1, initial pricing for finals ranged from $104.19 to $1,860.45 per session, while preliminary sessions cost between $49.61 and $1,116.27. Even though the VISA presale offered limited swimming tickets in Drop 2 at the highest $1,116.27 tier for preliminary sessions, those high-priced options were quickly claimed by buyers.
Remaining Inventory and Accessible Seating
While standard tickets are gone, Guavy notes that some accessible options remain on the market. Buyers can still find Wheelchair and Wheelchair Companion tickets, primarily located within the ‘B’ tier. For spectators seeking alternative events, Women’s Golf Preliminary tickets represent the lowest-cost option currently available, with prices starting at $28 for sessions on July 26th, 2028.
Context on Drop 2 Registration and Timeline
The swift sellout occurs amid massive overall demand for the 2028 Games, which mark the historic third time Los Angeles has hosted the Olympics, as reported by NBC Los Angeles. According to LA28 figures cited by NBC Los Angeles, total ticket registration reached 12 million applicants across more than 200 countries and all 50 U.S. states.
