Fans who want to see Olympic weightlifting 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.
- Buy tickets during assigned time slot: When the assigned day and time slot arrives, fans can log on and purchase tickets.
Fans who registered for the first draw and either didn't receive a time slot or didn't purchase the allotted maximum amount of tickets will be automatically entered into the draw for subsequent drops.
