All stages of IEM Rio Major 2022 will be held with spectators — tickets will go on sale tomorrow

Tournament operator ESL announced changes to the rules for organizing the upcoming IEM Rio Major 2022. After numerous requests from the community and pro-players, the organizers decided to hold all stages of the championship with spectators, as well as allocate an additional fan zone with Gaules as the host. Now there is no doubt that IEM Rio Major 2022 will be the most intense and significant event in the history of CS:GO.

Brazil, we hear you. Tickets for IEM Rio Major 2022 sold out in minutes and we saw that tens of thousands of you still want to attend the major. In response to this insane demand, we decided to reveal all the stages and give you more options, more CS:GO.

After it became known earlier that the public at the Jeunesse Arena would be present only in the playoffs of the tournament, the organizers decided to sell tickets for the Challengers and Legends stages. The first two stages of the major will be held at the Riocentro convention center in Rio de Janeiro from October 31 to November 8.

This decision will make IEM Rio Major 2022 the first major in CS:GO history that viewers will be able to attend from start to finish, for the first time since the introduction of an updated hosting system starting with DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca 2015.

At the same time, the organizers have increased the number of tickets for the playoff stage, which will be held at the Jeunesse Arena. The tournament operator solved the problem by adding a 360° stage.

Tickets for the first two stages of the event and additional arena seats will go on sale on September 14. Tickets to enter the fan zone will go on sale on September 15th.
