Tickets for the 2028 Summer Olympics<\/a>\u00a0start at a\u00a0clever price tag of $28. But just like $1 tickets to the Hollywood Bowl<\/a>, we\u2019re sure those will\u00a0be quickly snatched up when they go on sale next year. So how else can you take part in the Games for cheap? Try volunteering.<\/p>\n

On Thursday,\u00a0L.A. Olympic organizers announced that they\u2019ve officially launched the \u201cLA28 Volunteer Program Presented by Delta Air Lines.\u201d If you head on over to the LA28 website, you can sign up now<\/a>; you\u2019ll need to be 18 or older, and volunteers will receive an email if they\u2019ve been chosen for an available opportunity.<\/p>\n

Now, there are two separate types of volunteer work, and you can designate on the form which you\u2019re interested in: community volunteering or Games-time volunteering. Let\u2019s start with the latter, since that\u2019s likely the main attraction for most folks. Applications for Games-time roles will officially open in the summer of 2026, but you can register your interest now. If chosen, come the summer of 2028 you may find yourself doing anything from \u201cassisting athletes to guiding guests,\u201d as the LA28 site notes.<\/p>\n

If you want to get involved in the Olympic cause\u00a0now, that\u2019s what the community volunteering option is for. These opportunities kick off this fall and \u201csupport meaningful causes for the surrounding region,\u201d from wildfire recovery to hunger relief to youth sports. LA28 notes that, since 2017, its own employees have participated in over 100 community events through\u00a0organizations like YMCA Metro L.A., Heal the Bay and Angel City Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not waiting until 2028 to tap into Los Angeles\u2019 resilience, generosity and grit,\u201d said LA28 CEO\u00a0Reynold Hoover in a statement. \u201cThis unique initiative channels the spirit of volunteerism long before the Opening Ceremony, and we have the chance to create a model for future Host Cities, as well as a legacy for Los Angeles and the Games. Our hope is that this program can be a catalyst for Angelenos to give back to the city they love, unite across communities and help build a stronger city together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Olympics will take place from July 14 to 30, 2028. The Paralympics will follow shortly after, from August 15 to August 27, 2028. If you\u2019d rather watch purely as a spectator, a ticket\u00a0registration period for the Olympic Games will begin in January 2026, followed by ticket drops later in 2026. Tickets for the Paralympic Games will go on sale in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tickets for the 2028 Summer Olympics\u00a0start at a\u00a0clever price tag of $28.
