First Batch Of ESL One Tickets Sell Out In Minutes

by on March 3, 2014
 

Remember the ESL One DOTA 2 tournament we told you about last week. Well tickets went on sale and within minutes the initial wave of tickets sold out.

Although the amount of tickets that were available has not been revealed we do know that demand has been extremely high. Fortunately more tickets will be made available in the coming days, priced at €18.90 for a single day ticket, €29.90 for a weekend ticket and €149.90 for a premium weekend ticket. You can find out more information about the tickets and how to buy them on the official ESL ONE website.

ESL’s Managing Director of Pro Gaming, Ulrich Schulze is certain the event will be a success.

“We were absolutely overwhelmed by the speed at which tickets were selling. Seeing so many fans wanting to be there for the biggest Dota 2 event to date has once again assured us that filling a football stadium in eSports is not a fantasy anymore.”

For those of you wondering how DOTA 2 can be played in a football stadium the ESL team have released a concept image of how they plan to display the game. The image, which can be seen below, shows a giant screen suspended at one end of the stadium with seating running across the pitch and obviously in the surrounding stands.

eSports! I joined God is a Geek all the way back in September 2013 and since then have spent most of my time on Dota 2, and occasionally posting the odd review, news article or totally wrong predictions for The International. When I am not playing Dota I can probably be seen watching some kind of strange eSport or begging for more Twitter followers (@MikeStubbsy if you are interested). Aside from GiaG I am a computing student, football coach and major Apple fanboy.
