What is the Finals setup? What are the best seats?

The Finals will be presented “in-the-round” with the audience surrounding the action. We strive for every seat to provide a great viewing experience. If you’re considering front row seats (up to 5-10 rows from the stage) in the Lower Bowl (P1), your seats will be closer to the live action, but may have partially obstructed views during certain segments. Additional screens will be provided to mitigate the inconvenience.

Do I have to make an account to buy tickets online?

Yes, AXS requires an account to purchase tickets. To save time, we recommend that you sign up and create an account before ticket sales go live.

Can you confirm the final prices after fees and taxes?

Fees vary based on the individual buyer and you might need to pay taxes based on your location. Fees also vary based on how you decide to receive your ticket such as e-ticket, will call, mailing, etc. For more information, check out AXS.

Will there be a queue/waiting page for tickets?

If the event is in high enough demand, AXS uses a queue system that will go live 1 hour before tickets go on sale to mitigate traffic. Remember that being in the lobby doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be able to purchase tickets.

Are seats assigned?

Seats are assigned for every ticket so if you want to sit with friends, buy together.

What language will the ticket site be available in?

English.

Will more tickets go on sale?

There will be extremely limited quantities released in early September based on our final production setup. If you want to guarantee a seat at Finals, we suggest not waiting since we cannot guarantee availability after the initial wave of tickets.
