Guys, I'm scared what if I don't get tickets?
I wrote a guide
No ticket - what to do now?
- You can press F5 everyday for the next 48 hours in hopes of getting a refunded ticket
- If money is no object buy them off eBay, Craig's List, Stubhub or your local scalper, there will be several professional scalpers that sell tickets 3-5x the original price. This is their job, they know there are people who don't want to fuss and will pay anything. Just be aware like any transaction there are scammers, flakers, and idiots.
Or wait . .
- The price drops with time as scalpers do not want to be stuck with a ticket that has no value so prices drop the closer you get to August
- Valve stealth released a 3rd wave of tickets a month before TI5 at the original price
- Tickets dropped steadily on Craig's List and reddit until the event at which point people were giving away tickets or selling them for less than the original cost. This has happened at TI4 and TI5 simply because the travel and lodging cost make it very expensive and difficult to book at the last minute and life happens: friends bail, internships, clerical errors, unforseen circumstances
- If you are deadset on attending TI6 you could look into securing cheap or cancel-friendly lodging and airfare/travel now, there is a decent chance that there will be tickets available at or below cost if you are physically in Seattle August 8-13. Even if you can't get a ticket there is a perfectly comfortable grassy knoll with a giant big screen with free wifi beside Key Arena availble to all.
