How Pricing Estimates Work
Price estimates in this tool are derived from multiple sources:
- Historical pricing from previous Olympic Games (Tokyo 2020, Paris 2024)
- Publicly announced price ranges from LA28 organizing materials
- Venue capacity and seating category analysis
- Sport popularity and demand projections
- Prices reported by users during ticket sales windows
Prices are organized by seat category (Cat A through Cat E typically) and session type (Preliminary through Final). Higher categories offer better views and are priced accordingly. Final and medal sessions are typically the most expensive.
User-reported prices: Anyone can report actual prices they see during ticket sales via the Pricing page. These are labeled as User Reported and shown alongside the base estimates. User-reported prices help the community get more accurate and up-to-date information, but they are not verified and should still be treated as informal data points.
All estimates should be treated as rough guidance only. Official prices will be announced by LA28 and may differ significantly.
