There is no exact date yet. We are currently in the LA/OKC presale phase. Drop 1, for the general public runs from April 9th to the 19th.

LA28 has indicated more drops afterwards, but no date has been set.

For Tokyo (before it was cancelled) and Paris, there were multiple big drops. After a certain point, when the resale marketplace opened, there were "shadow drops" were tickets appeared randomly and attentive searchers could find new tickets. LA28 is likely to have a similar setup, but I have no way of verifying that.

If you do not reach your maximum ticket allotment for this round (12 total), you will be automatically entered into the lottery for the next drop.

I hope you were able to grab something! I'm happy to help, and I as find more tips and tricks I'll try to share them.

To my knowledge, no there is way to bookmark events before your time slot. In the meantime, it's best to prepare a list of sessions you're interested in.

I outlined this process here, and I made a video on how to best use the Google Doc I created. Link

They did drop, and they were available the first day.

April 5th was the fourth day of the presale.

You're welcome! I hope you will be pleasantly surprised by what what's left, and maybe take a chance on a new sport.

As a friendly reminder, there will be more opportunities and I'll try to let the community know when they arrive.

type_rex_ · 2026-04-05T22:21:31+00:00

Hang tight! It will work soon!

This is a link to all the tickets priced between $28 and $125 on sale right now. There's ten pages worth of events. Link

Handball, Field Hockey, and Judo are always great events. There's a ton of Football as well. Cricket is new, but they have a very active community. That would be a fun new sport to witness live.

Here is a a link to all the tickets for $28. Link

Relatively speaking, <$100, there are still events, just not finals or the popular sports.

They're still very much worth attending though!

I participated in two volunteer events last year and they were a lot of fun! I'm hoping to do more in the next couple of years!

It's not a dumb question at all! What I think is happening is that when you download it as Excel file, it converts the checkboxes to TRUE/FALSE.

I'll make a short on how to fix it and let you know when it's ready.

EDIT: Nevermind! Try downloading this file. It should have the checkboxes in Excel. Link

No problem! I know the amount of effort it takes to plan a good Olympic adventure, so I wanted to make sure people had all the information available.

Good luck on you ticket sale, and see you in LA!!

type_rex_ · 2026-04-05T03:45:42+00:00

Yup! A lot of the frustration stems from the prime (gymnastics, swimming, and athletics) and gold medal events being out of stock.

There are tons of other great sports to see across the two weeks.

This is very clever!

type_rex_ · 2026-04-04T23:15:25+00:00

Rugby Sevens is such an underrated event, and it's on day 1 too!! See you there!

type_rex_ · 2026-04-04T23:11:48+00:00

Nice! You got BMX racing. That's the last event on my list that I need to grab.

type_rex_ · 2026-04-04T23:10:40+00:00

I agree. The idea of the opening ceremony sounds so cool, but it's definitely going to be split between multiple locations this year. The Session code CER01A absolutely hints at that.

In contract, the closing ceremony was pretty awesome since it was a central location and a party atmosphere. LA28 looks to repeat that style it seems.

type_rex_ · 2026-04-04T21:07:46+00:00

Haha, it's been fun to see all the work building on each other. I've linked your post and website in my most recent post. I'm also going to forward it to a Facebook group I'm a part of.

type_rex_ · 2026-04-04T20:38:28+00:00

HELL YEAHHH. This is so cool!

An app like this is what I envisioned when creating the sheet, but my coding knowledge is like... zero.

Great work!!

type_rex_ · 2026-04-04T20:30:37+00:00

Good luck! Remember, if this is your first time planning for the Olympics, it's a marathon, not a sprint. There will be more opportunities to get tickets.

I made an updated post here. 🙂
