If you want to join us in Shanghai to see who’ll own the Rift at the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), read below for information how to buy your tickets.  

International Tickets

While we expect the majority of the MSI audience to be local players, we’ve set aside a limited number of tickets for international players wanting to make the journey to Shanghai. MSI tickets for international travelers will be on sale on April 10 at 7:00PM PT until April 13 at 7:00PM PT  via Damai.

Technical constraints prevent us from using Damai to service fans in mainland China and abroad simultaneously. To allow time for international players to get a visa for China and make other international travel preparations as early as possible, international travelers should purchase tickets starting on April 10. After April 13 at 7:00PM PT, tickets will be available exclusively to players with Tencent League of Legends accounts.

Tickets will be available at three price points depending on the section –  220 CNY (~$34 USD), 150 CNY (~$23 USD), and 120 CNY (~$18 USD), plus applicable fees.  The ticket site is available in English.

Due to the local popularity of this event, we expect that the overwhelming majority of fans will be from mainland China. As a result, translation radios to hear alternate-language commentary will not be provided. Live commentary at the event will be in Mandarin Chinese.
