Sport fans will be able to sign up from Wednesday for a chance to attend the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games - with tickets starting at $28 (£20.80).
Registration opens at 07:00 local time (15:00 GMT) for fans to enter a random ticket draw covering all events that will take place at the Games. The window will remain open until mid-March.
If chosen, fans will be notified via email and will be given a time slot to purchase tickets in April. One million of those tickets will sell for $28, and about one-third are set to cost less than $100 (£74.41).
These Games belong to everyone, Casey Wasserman, the chairman of LA 2028 said on Tuesday. These Games have to be affordable and inclusive.
The announcement of affordable ticket prices comes after the price of tickets for the 2026 men's football World Cup, which will also be hosted in the US, Canada, and Mexico, received public criticism.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, LA officials said affordability and accessibility were central to their ticketing plan - hoping that sports fans around the globe would find a way to attend.
Tickets for the 2024 Olympics in Paris started at $27.95 (£20).
A special early purchase window will also be open for residents in Los Angeles and Oklahoma City, where some Olympic events are also being hosted.
2028 will be the first time the Olympics will be held in the US since the 1996 Games in Atlanta. Los Angeles has twice hosted the Olympics - in 1932 and 1984 - and plans to utilize its already established infrastructure for this upcoming event.
Event organizers, along with hundreds of Olympians and Paralympians, gathered at the LA Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday for a ceremonial lighting of the Olympic venue's cauldron ahead of ticket registration.
The Coliseum has hosted events during both previous occasions that the Olympics were held in LA and is set to co-host the opening ceremony along with track and field events during the 2028 Games.
Once registered, fans will be entered into a random draw for time slots to buy tickets in April. The earlier slot a fan is given, the better their chances at securing tickets since being allocated a time slot does not guarantee ticket availability.
The first set of tickets will be on sale from April 9-19, including admission for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games.
Most events will occur across Los Angeles and southern California, but both canoeing and softball will be held in Oklahoma.
LA28 chief Allison Katz-Mayfield described the random ticket-drawing process as the fairest way to ensure that the broadest number of people can get access to tickets and that no one is advantaged or disadvantaged.
No matter when you go in, whether you're the first person in or the last person in, you have the same opportunity, she added.
Registration for tickets will remain open until March 18, and there is no benefit to registering early.
