LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover has responded to fan complaints about high ticket prices for various Olympic events, promising more $28 tickets. The $28 locals-only seats were quickly withdrawn, leaving fans frustrated and angry. Most tickets cost over $100, with premium seats topping $5,500, plus a 24% service fee. Despite these issues, Hoover defended the pricing, stating that the average ticket price is under $200 and it is accessible. The total number of $28 or sub-$100 tickets in future sales remains unknown. Volunteers can support community events or register interest in Games-time roles in 2028 through the LA28 Volunteer Program.
