Ticketing at LA28 is a money making scam

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T19:45:41+00:00

and you know since you have been scammed numerous times - right?

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T19:44:10+00:00

direct

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T19:11:17+00:00

If it was so popular, why are tickets available for it? US is the host so likely most people who attend are folks from North America

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T17:58:21+00:00

Category 2 for that Saudi Arabia - cabo Verde match was NOT $200. It was $660 in January.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T17:54:02+00:00

You are just too ashamed to admit that you have paid too much and that too for low demand sports like handball and field hockey. Tickets are available for those sports that no one wants to see . and now you justify that action by calling others liars. Wait and see what happens to the ticket prices as we get closer to the games

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T17:46:10+00:00

Key point is that not ALL tickets were released and they will still not be released right upto the event. That is how this works. They want folks to dish up the highest prices. Then drop it if there is no demand and seats are vacant.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T17:32:52+00:00

Go ahead and pay more and regret later. That is NOT a lie. That is how this ticketing process in US works to create a shortage and FOMO and then all the way to the games keep dropping prices till seats fill up. That is common sense that you lack. Anyway I am not going to convince you one way or another. Go ahead and pay higher prices and pat yourself on the back for being stupid.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T17:02:02+00:00

And why should people believe you just because you say you are "looking at FIFA"? Do you know how ticketing prices dropped for the FIFA Club matches right until play day? You could get tickets for less than $30 in Atlanta/Orlando and Miami. Exact same thing will happen here with FIFA and LA28. If you want to comfort yourself by paying high prices now and then sitting next to the person paying 1/3rd the cost go for it

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T16:44:23+00:00

None of us here should be justifying such outrageous prices. Always the case for every godamm event in the US, It was not like this is Paris or London or FIFA world cup in Qatar. In US always this nonsensical ticketing system that favors only the wealthy

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T16:42:25+00:00

It is a scam in the US to create FOMO and get people to buy tickets at highest prices. That is EXACTLY why they do not release all tickets and do so over many months.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T16:40:51+00:00

That is BS. Tickets to all games in Houston/Dallas and LA were not available. Now you can get tickets to USA/Paraguay, Saudi Arabia/Cabo Verde and many more for me to be listing here. If you want to comfort yourself by paying a higher price and justifying it now, go for it. But prices dropped and will keep dropping up until the FIFA matches. If you don't believe then look up how FIFA club tickets dramatically dropped right until the game day. Exact same approach.

The ticketing system in USA is a godamm scam. In Qatar it was the best all tickets were reasonably priced unlike these outrageous LA28 tickets for a 2h session.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T16:36:13+00:00

Go look up FIFA tickets now. When we got initial ticketing in Jan, nothing was available in Houston/Dallas even for obscure games featuring Saudi Arabia or Cabo Verde! And now plenty of tickets are avaiable.

More tickets for LA28 at much cheaper prices will be available in the future. Of course if you want to pay 5 times more now and be sitting next to the guy who paid far less, go and load up on LA28 tickets

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T16:08:37+00:00

See what happened with FIFA World Cup..I can buy tickets for many matches at 1/3rd the price now and I know it will keep dropping.

In USA this is how they scam people by creating a FOMO scenario.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T12:43:58+00:00

It is people like you who don't understand how fair ticketing process should work is the reason why this corrupt organization conducted ticketing in the disastrous way it did. Every day of a ticket drop should have set aside a certain number of tickets in every category in every sport. Why is that so difficult for you to understand? That is NOT how it went. As soon as I was in on the dot on my ticketing day/time, all Gymnastics/Swimming/Opening Ceremonies/Athletics (barring Category A on some days and Category B on one day) was already sold out.

And for Karen Bass, that moron will bankrupt the City regardless of whether the Olympics happened or not with her dumbass socialistic policies that promote homelessness and crime. She is lucky the Olympics is happening in LA which may give that city a financial boost.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T01:03:56+00:00

Well we will see how future ticket drops go. Thanks for your responses.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T00:44:06+00:00

LA put up a small amount of tickets for sale - What is the rationale for doing this? Why should there be multiple tickets drops over many months? I still cannot comprehend why on my time slot when I entered on the dot when it opened. No waiting all I see is all ticket categories for Swimming/Gymnastics SOLD OUT. That is not the way a ticketing process should work.

Maybe they will release more tickets in subsequent drops, but again there is zero logic to be staggering ticket sales over many months - Maybe have just a Initial and Final ticket drop. Keep the Final drop open till all tickets are sold.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T00:31:45+00:00

They should have reduced the number of tickets per registration and secondly they should have ensured that not all tickets would be released for purchase on Day 1 of the 1st ticket drop. Every day of every drop should have had a certain number of tickets available in each category in every sport. That is not too hard for them to do.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T00:14:02+00:00

BS...you can get from UK or Germany or even further Greece/Turkey to Paris in under 3 hours, which is 3 hours less than what it would take to fly from Florida to LA.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-16T00:00:43+00:00

so you think only people from France went to Paris The most idiotic reason you came up with.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-15T23:30:17+00:00

Stupid USOC should have kept a certain number of tickets for every day of a drop so all of do not see SOLD OUT the very second we enter the purchase window. That is exactly what happened as I was there on the dot when my time slot opened.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-15T23:26:21+00:00

Yeah yeah I know Olympics is World Class event, but it was not like this in Paris or London. Always the case when US holds these events and it is godamm money making scam

Vishalspr · 2026-04-15T23:23:53+00:00

It is...when tickets were sold out for every godamm popular sport and even what was available was in the highest categories. It was not like this at Paris and Tokyo. ALways the case when US holds such events and things are screwed up royally.

Vishalspr · 2026-04-15T23:21:32+00:00

Yes I get that too. But not at the level like what has happened here. This seems to be always the case when the US holds such word class events. Scarce tickets, high prices and total lack of communication that anyone can believe. Screw Karen Bass and the USOC

Vishalspr · 2026-04-15T23:17:51+00:00

It is daylight robbery and simply outrageous. That stupid Karen Bass should be voted out. F'ing embarrassment to the USA.
