Ticket FAQs

Do tickets have assigned seats?

No, tickets don't have assigned seats. The event is general admission inside the seating category that you bought your ticket for.

I bought an Infield ticket, can I still sit with my friends in the Ranks?

No - each ticket is only available for its particular area. If you are coming as a group, make sure you all purchase the same seat ticket type! Each of you will still be able to purchase a Premium add-on with your ticket to customise your experience!

If you have bought a Ranks Ticket, and your friends have all bought Infield Tickets, you can Upgrade through your Tixr Account!

What are ticket add-ons?

For this ESL One event, all tickets (with the exception of the Early Access Infield Ticket) will only give you access to the event, as well as to your chosen seating area. To customise and upgrade your experience, you can now purchase the Premium Experience add-on!

This includes an array of benefits to give you the best possible experience in the Raleigh Convention Center!

How many tickets can I purchase?

Each individual is allowed to purchase up to 5 tickets only. This is to prevent the scalping of tickets.

Is there an age restriction for the event?

No under 12 year olds are permitted at this event. Under 14 year olds MUST be accompanied by an adult aged 18yrs + with a valid ticket, into the venue. (i.e. 14 yrs and over can come into the building on their own with a valid ticket).

Can I buy a ticket from the secondary market?

Through Tixr you can Transfer your ticket to another user within 60 days of purchasing.

However, reselling tickets for profit is strictly prohibited. By using the website you agree that you are a consumer, and not a business, trader or person engaged in the resale of tickets. ESL cannot vouch for the authenticity or reliability of tickets sold on other platforms.

Can I still check in if I arrive later in the day?

You can check in whenever you want to! However, the earlier you arrive, the more time you’ll have to watch the matches, visit the booths and go to signing sessions!

Can I leave and re-enter the arena?

Yes you can, once you’ve received your wristband!

When and where do I get my goodie bag?

Look for more information on this coming soon!
