Initial Wave vs. Remaining Tickets

We’re not releasing all the tickets at once since we’re still finalizing some production details (camera setups, broadcast partner locations, potential obstructed views, etc.).

These details affect how many seats we’re able to make available at each stage. Once we finalize these details, we’ll release any additional seats in early September. If you want to guarantee your spot at Worlds, plan ahead and buy your tickets in the coming weeks.

Don't forget to mark your calendar to grab your tickets to witness the superior mastery, unparalleled strategy, and elite teamwork of Worlds 2016.

For group stage tickets, do you buy one ticket and get access to all the days or do you buy one ticket for each day of group stage?

Tickets need to be valid for ONLY the name on the ticket going forward.

Everyone complaining about the south not getting any love, meanwhile everyone in Canada is like "we exist."

I'm not even from Canada, but come on is there no place in like Vancouver or etc. that we could've hosted one stage of it at? Might as well change it to say its being hosted in the U.S. not North America. Lol
