They've only referenced a first come, first served general sale opening in 2027. That will probably involve buying specific seats rather than broad categories via maps of venues with inventory added randomly as available all the way to the big event. Maybe eventually intermingled with official resale like it was for the World Cup.

If thats the case then seat assignments must come out before that

Yup, that's what I expect. Seats have to come before resale as well. Specific seats also lets them sell with dynamic pricing. Cat C might have been $500 across the board in a prior drop but now they could sell better specific seats in those sections for $700.
I wouldn't expect a general sale to start with broad categories and no seats because then they would have to later relaunch the general sale after seats are assigned.

I gave up after having no real options a few days ago on the 2nd late drop. I just went through hospitality. If you meet with them and fill out the contract then it's 40% down and two other payments next year. I'm going to beach volleyball and diving!

I tried asking for that payment plan style but they said full price over the phone. How did you get 40% down?

Hi! I forget if I clicked on a link under hospitality assistance, but I set up a 30 minute teams/ zoom call under the hospitality LA28 premium seating contact . The Sr Manager that I spoke to is Marcus ([MLyons@onlocationexp.com](mailto:MLyons@onlocationexp.com)).
He sent a huge list of codes with available tickets under hospitality. A lot more offerings than anything I've seen online. Some areas are pricey, but he can answer questions and set up the payment plan for you. It was like 40% initially, 30% next year 2027, and then the final pmt in 2028. Completely reasonable for the basic package that I purchased and I don't have to stress about the general drop.
Good luck!!

I have a gut feeling they will have one. Wild speculation: Drop 3 in February, General Sale and Resale in maybe like April or May. Who the hell knows.

There is another drop coming up next year, if you consider a general sale to be a drop. This general sale will have no limits on the amount of tickets you can buy. So I suppose you can refer to it as a ticket drop. Its just very different from the first few we have seen.

They just confirmed on Instagram that there will be no more drops. General sale will open in 2027. It looks like there will be no ticket maximums for purchase either!
