Can you confirm the ticket prices after all fees and taxes?

Do I have to make an account to buy tickets?
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.
Will there be a queue/waiting page for tickets?
If the event is in high enough demand, an automatic queue system or lobby will go live 1 hour before tickets go live to mitigate the traffic. Remember that being in the lobby doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be able to purchase tickets.
Are seats assigned? I want to sit with my friends.
If you want to sit with your friends, buy tickets together. Seats are assigned for every ticket.
Where are the best seats in the house? What does the setup look like?
We’ll be presenting NA Spring Finals ‘in-the-round’ - meaning that the action will be in the center of the venue with the audience surrounding it like at Semis and Finals of Worlds 2015 rather than a traditional stage setup like the regular season of the NA LCS.This central staging setup allows us to welcome more fans and maximize viewing quality from each seat at NA Spring Finals.
Are tickets refundable?
Tickets are non-refundable.
How many tickets can I purchase at once?
Six tickets may be purchased per order.
Will there be more tickets released closer to the event?
There will be extremely limited quantities of tickets released closer to the event based on our final production setup. If you want to guarantee a seat at NA Spring Finals, we suggest not waiting since we cannot guarantee availability after the initial wave of NA Finals tickets. We’ll share more information about additional tickets at the end of March.
