Los Angeles 2028 (LA28) has reached an agreement with two major companies to market tickets for the thirty-fourth Summer Olympic Games of the modern era: AXS, a leader in sports and live entertainment ticketing, and CTS EVENTIM, a leading international ticketing and entertainment services provider. The agreement with LA28 will see the two companies join forces to form a joint venture that will combine their technological expertise and considerable marketing resources to promote, sell and distribute LA28 tickets worldwide. 

For marketing purposes, they will use existing online sites (axs.com and eventim.com) for the global distribution of tickets for the Games, which will also be sold through LA28's own website. AXS is a leading ticketing company and will bring its leading consumer facing technologies, extensive marketing capabilities and ticket distribution network to the partnership. 

CTS EVENTIM's high-performance technology has reliably managed Olympic ticket sales on several occasions over the past two decades, including Turin 2006, Sochi 2014, Rio 2016 and is planned for Paris 2024..

For the 2028 Games in California, the partners are committed to delivering an unparalleled consumer experience with a secure, protected and fully digital ticketing solution. Together, they have teams of seasoned ticketing professionals and extensive experience in managing and distributing tickets for major sporting events.

"AXS' strong presence in North America and CTS EVENTIM's track record of success at the Games will provide a world-class platform that will redefine ticketing for live sporting events," said LA28 Chairman and President Casey Wasserman.

"With AXS and CTS EVENTIM, the LA28 Games will provide an accessible and seamless experience for Angelenos and sports fans from around the world," he concluded.
