What will the 2028 Games actually cost you?

Drop in your LA28 tickets and get the real all-in cost of the trip — where to stay, how many nights, and hotel + flights + ground transit + tickets as one number. Beyond the ticket spend, the hotel dominates: at Olympic-adjusted rates a mid-tier room near an event zone runs roughly $425–$750/night, so a week for two is commonly $3,500–$6,000 before flights.

Free, no signup. Every figure is a transparent, editable estimate — Games pricing isn't published yet. Then have Otto book the rooms.

How the all-in number is built

Hotel

Nights × rooms × the zone nightly rate at your quality tier. Nights run from the day before your first event to the day after your last; rooms default to two travelers each.

Flights

Party size × a round-trip fare by origin bucket (drive / West / Central / East / International). Local or driving defaults to $0.

Ground transit

Party × event-days × a per-day cost by mode — transit-first (~$12), mixed (~$35), or rideshare (~$75). Defaults to transit, matching LA28's car-free plan.

Tickets

The total you've already committed — parsed straight from your order, or entered by hand. Already spent, but part of the true trip cost.

Frequently asked questions

How much will it cost to attend the 2028 LA Olympics?
Beyond tickets, the biggest cost is the hotel: at Olympic-adjusted rates (~1.5–2× normal), a mid-tier room near an event zone runs roughly $425–$750/night, so a one-week stay for two is commonly $3,500–$6,000 before flights and ground transit. This tool adds your hotel, flights, ground transit, and the tickets you've already bought into one all-in number you can edit.
Where should I stay for the LA28 Games?
Stay in the neighborhood that minimizes travel to your specific events — LA venues are spread from Inglewood to Long Beach to Pasadena, so the right base depends on your tickets. Downtown LA (L.A. Live) is central for Exposition Park, DTLA, and the Convention Center; Inglewood suits SoFi/Intuit Dome/Kia Forum. Drop your tickets in and the tool recommends the base that keeps you closest to all of them.
How many nights should I book?
Book from the day before your first event to the day after your last: nights = (last event date − first event date) + 2. If your events span July 24–30, that's an 8-night stay. The estimator sets this automatically from your tickets and lets you adjust it.
Why are LA28 hotel prices so high?
An estimated 15 million visitors will chase roughly 276,000 hotel rooms, and demand exceeds supply on 13 of the 20 Games nights. That pushes event-core zones to about 1.5–2× their normal nightly rate. Booking 12–18 months out — as tickets go on sale — is how you lock a room before the surge.
Do I need a car for the 2028 Olympics?
No — LA28 is planned as a car-free Games, leaning on an expanded Metro rail/bus network and event shuttles. This tool defaults ground transit to a transit-first ~$12/person/day; switch to mixed (~$35) or rideshare-everywhere (~$75) if you'd rather not rely on transit.
Are these prices real quotes?
No. Every figure here is a transparent, editable estimate, not a quote — 2028 Games hotel and flight pricing is not yet published. The nightly bands are Olympic-adjusted models by zone and quality tier, and you can override any input. When you're ready to book real, bookable rooms against your dates and zone, hand it to Otto.
