Local sales will commence on April 2, followed by notifications for the general public’s "Drop 1" on April 7 and official sales on April 9. Fans will be limited to a total of 12 Olympic tickets, including a maximum of four tickets per ceremony; however, tickets for the soccer tournament do not count against this limit.

Olympic officials have reported that 5 million fans have registered for tickets. A selected group will be able to participate in the presale, which will allow them to purchase tickets for various sports along with the opening and closing ceremonies.

Each fan will receive a designated 48-hour window for ticket purchase and a 30-minute window to finalize their order once items are added to their cart. Olympic and Paralympic tickets will be categorized, with specific seat assignments issued closer to the event.

Notably, single-game tickets for the Olympics and Paralympics are expected to start at $28. Officials advise fans to avoid third-party resale websites, as a verified resale program will not be available until 2027.
