How do I buy tickets for equestrian at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics?
Fans who want to see Olympic tennis in person must go through the following steps to buy tickets:
- Register for the LA28 ticket draw: During designated windows of time, fans must register at Tickets.LA28.org. After completing the registration process, they'll be entered into the ticket draw to receive a time slot.
- Receive notification of time slot: Before the next drop, fans will be notified if they have received a time slot. Then they'll receive another notification the day before and day of the time slot that they've been randomly assigned to.

The next ticket drop will be from August 10 to 20, 2026.
