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.
