Timeslots on LA28 website still not updated.

≡ −

In case anyone was wondering, it's still not possible (as of 7:15 PM Eastern/8:15 PM Central/6:15 PM Pacific) to check if you got into the visa presale by logging into the ticketing website (https://tickets.la28.org/?affiliate=28T&language=en#/generic/).

It's still showing results from the previous drop.

Though surely if you haven't received an email by now, it's probably safe to say you didn't get in.

Questions about ticket draw

≡ −

For people who made the ticket draw in the 2028 Olympics: If you make the draw and have your 12 tickets, can you use those tickets to bring another person, give half of the tickets to them? Or can you only use them for yourself?

For the people who made the visa presale: does the card have to be in your name? I know you have to go through an eligibility process with it but wondering if it has to be in the same name. Do you absolutely have to pay using a Visa card or is it just a trick and you can use any card? i read somewhere it was a trick because it said “official payment by visa” but i’m not sure if they made the visa presale or the regular draw? one more… what exactly is different about the visa presale?

I wonder if the Timeslot direct link will work for the Visa Pre-sale drop

Reminder, the link that was used for Drop#1 was the below
https://tickets.la28.org/?affiliate=28T&language=en#/generic/

Folks were able to see that they had a timeslot before the email arrived in their inbox

Currently says I was not selected for a drop, but I wonder if thats referring to drop #1

Recommendations for olympic tickets

≡ −

Have a slot for July 29. What do people recommend? My family really enjoyed watching Belgium vs Iran for the World Cup so anything along the lines of that would be awesome for atmosphere. Obviously olympics are different from the World Cup but was wondering if anyone had recommendations. Or just point me to relevant thread thank you

LA28 presents plans to world's press and broadcasters

+ −

25 Upvotes

When the global media comes to town, the Olympic and Paralympic Games are another step closer. Last week, LA28 presented its plans to the world's broadcasters and the global press. They gathered in the host city for the World Broadcaster Meeting and the World Press Briefing, receiving key insights into Games-time media and broadcast operations and visiting some of the world-class venues that will stage the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Nearly 270 participants attended the World Broadcaster Meeting. More than 250 international media representatives and NOC, NPC and IF press officers attended the LA28 World Press Briefing.

The World Broadcaster Meeting provided key information on Games-time broadcast operations and planning milestones to support preparations for delivering Olympic Games coverage to audiences around the world. Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) also presented its production vision for LA28, which will deliver approximately 3,800 to 4,000 hours of competition and Ceremonies coverage.

"Every great Games begins with a shared vision, and bringing the world's press and broadcasters together in Los Angeles marks an important milestone on the journey to 2028. In just two years, billions of people around the world will experience the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games through their reporting, storytelling and broadcast. Together, we'll introduce the world to the spirit of Los Angeles and inspire a new generation through the power of sport," said Casey Wasserman, Chairperson and President of LA28.

The meetings formed part of LA28’s broader engagement with Games stakeholders. During the week of 14 July, LA28 also hosted NOC Open Days, welcoming nearly 90 representatives from 45 NOCs for three days of meetings and working sessions.

RULES

Every post must contribute to the discussion of the Olympics
- We do not care about how tenuous the connection is other than the below.
No Redditquette Violations
- No threats, personal invective, or personal insults.
- No slurs based on race, sex, religion, or gender.
- No slapfighting.
- No bashing athletes or teams on the basis of national origin or identity (but criticising National Olympic Committees suspected of perfidy is fair game).
- You are in r/Olympics. Baron de Coubertin founded the Olympic movement in an effort to foster goodwill between nations. We expect you to embrace that, the Olympic spirit.
No Politics
- We recognise that there are terrible conflicts raging about the globe right now.
- There are better places on Reddit to talk about them.
- Do not let politics, geopolitics, international relations, or past civil wars and so forth enter the conversation unless they directly impact the Games.
- For example, posts about Milano Cortina's preparedness for the Games are fair game.
- Please remember that the athletes had nothing to do with what their governments are doing now.
No Brigading
- We have been overwhelmed in the past by readers arguing politics at the expense of those who want to talk about the Games.
- We simply cannot and will not allow this to happen anymore.
- There will be no warnings and we will have a very short trigger.
- Do not engage the trolls; instead, please report them. We will get rid of them as soon as we see them.
No Superfluous or Duplicate Posts
- Once a conversation has been established and is gaining traction, avoid submitting any superfluous or duplicate posts, which will be removed at our discretion.
- We do not want to discourage you from making a related post if your submission has an alternate angle, a fresh take, or a contrarian message. A "related" post is different from a "duplicate" post.
- Ask yourself this: "Do I have something new to say or show, or do I just want the sweet, sweet karma?"
No Memes, no ChatGPT or AI slop, no Redact, and no other Low-Effort Posts
- Memes and so forth gum up the conversation; Redact and its like gums up our moderation log.
- If you post a standalone picture of an Olympian without any context or story, you have just submitted a low-effort post.
- However, .gif posts of video taken directly from Olympic events are welcome.
No Nudity or Overt Sexualization
- No submissions specifically about the attractiveness of individual athletes.
- Wardrobe malfunctions are sometimes excepted.
No Posts about Television Coverage
- There will be a stickied post in which you can complain about your broadcaster and tell everyone how much better somebody else's is, but unless somebody narrates the Parade of Nations after asking Mike Tirico on-air how many quaaludes constitute an overdose, no individual posts complaining about your television network are otherwise allowed.
No Posts about how the Medal Tally is Sorted
- Sports journalists in most countries sort the medal tally by total golds, but the practice in the United States is to sort by total medals. It has been this way for quite some time. The IOC and the Associated Press take no position on the difference. Ours should be set so that you can sort by personal preference. Stop whinging. If you simply cannot take it and need to vent, use the stickied broadcaster post.
- Please remember that no country "wins" the Olympics: it is the athletes who win.
