Tickets

Q: When do Finals tickets go on sale?
A: An extremely limited quantity of Finals tickets will go on sale on Thursday, September 10 at 8 AM PDT / 5 PM CEST via Eventim. The initial batch of tickets went on sale in July.

Q: How much are tickets?

*US Dollar prices are estimates based on current Euro to USD conversion rates and are subject to change.

Q: Can you confirm the ticket prices after all fees and taxes?
A: Fees vary based on the individual buyer since you might need to pay taxes based on your location. Fees also vary on how you decide to receive your ticket such as e-ticket, will call, mailing, etc. Find out more information over on Eventim.

Q: What languages is the ticket site available in?
A: German and English.

Q: Do I have to make an account to buy tickets?

Q: Will there be a queue/waiting page for tickets?

Q: Are seats assigned? I want to sit with my friends.
A: If you want to sit with your friends, buy tickets together. Seats are assigned for every ticket.

Q: Where are the best seats in the house? What does the setup look like?
A: As we announced in our Semifinals Q&A, for the first time at a World Championship, we’ll be presenting both Semifinals and Finals ‘theatre-in-the-round’ – meaning that the action will be in the center of the venue with the audience around it rather than our traditional stage setup. This central staging setup allows us to welcome more fans and maximize the view from each seat at Finals.

Q: Are tickets refundable?
A: Tickets are non-refundable.

Q: How many tickets can I purchase at once?
A: Six tickets may be purchased per order.
