LA28 Olympics

I have not, but apparently tickets are limited and the prices are outrageous.

For major events like artistic gymnastics, swimming, track and field, and tennis — all popular Summer Olympic competitions — prices for finals or even preliminary qualifying rounds are at least in the $700 range and some soccer qualifier rounds start at $100.

For example, a track and field mixed final ticket, which includes the women’s 5,000m final, is $745, while a swimming event featuring the men’s 4x100m freestyle relay is priced at $1,116. Most other sports have limited, if not any, standard ticket availability.

Thought this was about Louisiana highway 28

@sonicbaw350. Did you have to use a Visa card or were you able to use something else?

I missed out on the lottery, wait you are telling me those are the retail prices for these events?

My time slot starts tomorrow (April 10)

I've got my options listed for what events/sessions I want, but damn I wasn't expecting $700 per ticket

Yeah. I was surprised by the prices and the number of events already sold out. We were primarily looking for baseball, golf, gymnastics, soccer, swimming, sprints. Of those, baseball and some soccer were available but almost everything else I looked at was sold out.

And to answer my own question, no, you aren't required to use a Visa card.

I logged in today to buy tickets. All we are interested in is track, basketball, and swimming.

All men's basketball sessions were sold out, most track sessions were around $700/ticket and swimming was around $1,000 per ticket.

I didn't buy any. We have no plans to go, but if I could make the tickets work it would be a nice summer vacation for my kids to watch the Olympics in person. I will check the secondary market as the games get closer, but not looking promising.
