@Jeff_Swartz @KarlWarden Too bad, maybe catch you at Brisbane 2032?

@KenHanscom @KarlWarden No, you won’t Ken. You and your buddies at LA28 have ensured that

We're a couple of hours away from the first LA28 Summer Olymnpic Games ticket drop and at the same time, at least two marketplaces will launch LA28 ticket resales, Stubhub and Gametime at the same time. These are not part of the LA28 verified resale that will launch in 2027...

@theshoeniverse Thanks, Pat.

@KenHanscom You're clearly not reading the room. People are upset all over Twitter, Reddit Facebook everywhere. Drop 1 today was completely pointless and you know it. There were literally no opening ceremony tickets available. DO BETTER!

Here’s what people do not want to hear: The first Olympic ticket drops are always limited and there are a lot of disappointments and only a fraction of tickets were sold. Trust me, as someone that LA28 will be my 6th Olympic Games, you are going to have MANY chances over the next two years. LA is the first time I had access to the first drop after skipping the Paris 2024!drop altogether.

@rockstar0783 That’s what the terms say, per account.

@KenHanscom 12 only? Beyond the early drops?

@TheFin22 Personally, I would wait unless the category you want is there.

@KenHanscom @KenHanscom First time potential buyer here with a time slot tomorrow. If I want to go to track & field, what are your recommendations? Buy whatever is available in my budget or wait?

@Jeff_Swartz @KarlWarden See you at the LA28 games, Jeff.

@KarlWarden @KenHanscom Ken is full of shit. I’m sure he will make out like a bandit reselling tickets in two years. Let’s just hope the venues are empty and this band of grifters gets exposed

@rockstar0783 That’s what the LA28 terms say, although they reserve the right to change them anytime.

@KenHanscom What i'm wondering is what the amount of tickets we will be allowed to get? is it 12 from now through the end

@Jeff_Swartz @KarlWarden I have lived in the area for 30 years. Don’t let facts get in the way of a false narrative.

@KenHanscom @KarlWarden Well good for you Ken! How fortunate. Guess knowing the right people always trumps living in the area. This whole thing is corrupt and you seem to be right in the middle.

@Jeff_Swartz @ls1228 Lol, people that block you before the reply have no clue. I attend Olympics, I don’t broker them. Anyone doing 10 seconds of research could figure that out.

@ls1228 @KenHanscom So you skimmed a % off the top…

@cheeseatnight Unknown demand. The LA28 games are more popular than expected. This isn’t a Taylor Swift tour with 30 stops. I do not think this was fully anticipated and you need to finding the balance between selling out and having tons unsold is not a simple math problem.

@KenHanscom What is the point of that, though? If the successive drops are less limited, why put all the Drop 1 people (non-locals) through such a poor experience??

And I ended attending 35 events in Paris include men’s basketball gold medal, women’s gymnastics all around and team gold medal games, Opening, Closing and many others that I bought through general sales and NOT hospitality.

@cpettit815 @stevie4485 I had no access, but yes looks like nothing additional.

@stevie4485 @KenHanscom Did you have access to this drop? Does it look like they didn’t add any supply?

@stevie4485 That's what I am hearing as well. May not be much if anything left for the slots next week.

@KenHanscom There was barely anything on there

@HassanC2244 Unfortunate as it is, that may be the case.

@KenHanscom I’ve got a time slot for next week, and I’m already assuming all that’s going to be left is breakdancing even though it’s been canceled 😩

Go time for the first LA28 public ticket drop. I do not have access, curious to what people find available once they get in.

@TicketsData Easiest way to deal with ticket resale caps. No face value, no way to cap. Industry always ahead of the law.

Exactly. Just like “sold out,” “face value” is becoming a meaningless term.

@zamees You can think of it the opposite way, you are paying 2026 prices and not 2028. Kind of like getting a 2022 mortgage interest rate now. Imagine how much more these would cost in 2028.

@KenHanscom What's the % interest I am getting in return for this advance until they deliver the event? :-)

On Location's premium hospitality site for the LA28 games currently has a queue as well. Safe to say that many not finding the inventory they want on LA28 heading over to purchase premium packages for the events they are looking for.

Have multiple sources experiencing that there appears that no additional inventory was added for the first global ticket drop. That the global sale is just a continuation of the local sale. Not official of course.

@JS032111 I am hearing the same thing as well.

@KenHanscom It appears it’s all leftovers from the local presale last week.

@regardedx Bummer, sorry to hear that is happening.

@KenHanscom when you navigate to the tickets u want, it just throws you into another queue. Terrible system

Hearing for the queue for the first LA28 ticket drop is not too bad, ~5-7 minutes for those that were fortunate enough to get a slot for this morning. Good luck to those in the queue.
