Drop 1 opened global sales for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, after a locals-only presale put hundreds of thousands of $28 tickets in LA and Oklahoma City residents' hands; fans bought more than 4 million tickets that month.

The Los Angeles City Council voted 11-3 to slow the raises in its Olympic Wage ordinance, pushing hotel and airport workers' $30 minimum from the 2028 Games to 2030, as business groups withdrew a ballot measure to repeal the city business tax.

Los Angeles Tourism and Tourism Economics counted 49.5 million visitors to LA in 2025, down about 1% on 2024, generating $42.6 billion in business sales and supporting more than 530,000 jobs.

Under the amended Olympic Wage ordinance, the minimum for Los Angeles hotel workers and LAX-area airport employees rises from $25.00 to $25.50 an hour on 1 July 2027, with the hotel health-benefit payment going from $4.25 to $6.00.
