State lawmakers told an official for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics on Wednesday that they have serious concerns over whether local residents will have affordable access to the Summer Games. Fans from 85 countries and all 50 states purchased more than 4 million tickets in the first release, Joey Freeman, a lobbyist for the LA28 Organizing Committee, told legislators in Sacramento Wednesday. Freeman said roughly half a million $28 tickets went directly to locals, noting that 95% of all tickets priced under $100 were sold during a local pre-sale phase.
