@KatTheThird@LiburPrimus Riot / Ticketmaster will have already made their money, been able to do the broadcast etc. It sadly doesn’t affect them as much as you think it would
@klywork@bully_lol It’s a great hypothetical idea…but it wouldn’t work out. Payments are being accepted for League RP by Riot Games, but for Tickets it is done by Ticketmaster/Tixr
There are also people (including myself) who exclusively fund my Riot Account with RP Gift Cards, and don’t use CC.
@just_gebby@Spideraxe30 It’s not Riot’s choice. Typically as part of event contracts, there is a restriction mandating the use of the venue’s preferred ticketing platform, at least in the Western Hemisphere, this means AXS for the O2 arena for Worlds 2024, Ticketmaster for Chase Center in 2022 etc.
@Austopsy@lolesports It’s not up to Riot whether Ticketmaster is used or it. It is at the discretion of the venues used and is typically a condition of renting the venue. Riot must abide by the conditions set out by each venue. For example, for Worlds 2024, it was AXS; etc. and so forth.
@Shadows_Lightly@DShyKnock It should be going on as normal. I would think that they’ll have a second round of tickets for August. This was the same thing from last year where there was an initial release, followed by a secondary, smaller release
@Shadows_Lightly@DShyKnock General sale is on Ticketmaster for all except play ins. Play ins are on Tixr.
Don’t buy scalped tickets on StubHub at this time (I would personally go as far as to say all the time), as there is limited clarity on ticket transferability.
As there are a few people ahead of me in priority for the suites, I will not know the allocated size of the suite until July 30.
If you are a genuine fan and interested in this offering, please send me a DM.
I will be offering the available seats at my direct cost only

@lolesports I hope this whole process will truly be revisited and that it is not simply brushed under the rug. Of course not everyone can get tickets, it’s just that it can be frustrating for everyone involved without communication.
@ramendino_@wahibahhh You’d think so, but as I responded to a couple of others, it’s usually a stipulation in the contract that Riot use the ticketing system that the venue has an existing contract with. Some venues will have the capacity to support account verification while some will not.
@N_avY_esports@wahibahhh Some of past event ticket categories include:
- Foreigner (only available to those outside of country)
- Mastercard (must pay with Mastercard)
- Riot ID verified (must have verified past gameplay)
- Rioter Tickets (must work for Riot in some way)
- Venue Sponsor Tickets
@N_avY_esports@wahibahhh It’s the choice of scrapping it or not, but the exact venue contracts that define how tickets are sold. Depending on the exact contract between, Riot/Ticket Vendor/Venue, there have been multiple classes of tickets that would help with availability, this event did not have such.
