Breaking: Shocking Ticket Price Revealed for The International 2023! Get Ready to Splurge on the Ultimate Gaming Experience!

Valve has officially announced the commencement date for the ticket sales of The International 2023, with tickets set to become available on August 25th. These tickets are priced at $699 each. Comprehensive information regarding each phase of the tournament has been unveiled through a blog post on the Steam community website.

Valve has taken the opportunity to reiterate the tournament's threefold structure: The journey towards The International will encompass the group stage (scheduled for October 12-15) and the playoffs (slated for October 20-22), culminating in the main event of The International 2023 (to be held from October 27-29).

Both the playoffs and The International 2023 main event are poised to welcome a live audience. To alleviate any confusion stemming from the altered nomenclature, tickets for each of these stages will be made available for purchase independently.

Within the Frequently Asked Questions section, Valve has clarified that individuals are permitted to acquire more than five tickets in a single transaction. Moreover, it has been emphasized that admission will not be contingent on designated seating; attendees are at liberty to select any unoccupied seat, excepting areas exclusively reserved for players and press personnel. It's important to note that tickets are non-refundable, except in the event of a cancellation. A wristband, distributed on-site, will facilitate re-entry after leaving the arena. The sale and transfer of tickets among users will be facilitated in accordance with Ticketmaster's stipulations.
