Ticket Types



Player ticket is the ticket you buy as a player if you know the finalised roster of your team.

If you do not have five players confirmed you, as a player, can buy a Team Ticket. This is a ticket that has your name on, with four blank spaces for players on it. So you can decide closer to the time what your roster will be.

Spectator tickets will need to be purchased just to give us an idea of how many spectators we will be getting on the day.

THIS IS A TICKET FOR THE QUALIFIERS, YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY ANY MORE MONEY IF YOU RECEIVE AN INVITE TO THE LAN.

Ticket Purchasing:

For a team to signup for the qualifiers, each player of the team must purchase a 'Player Ticket' from this site. When you purchase your ticket, you will be prompted to enter the name of your team. This is the name that you and your team will use, and what we will use to group the teams together and ensure they have paid.

Only then, the team will be seeded into the weekend qualifier along with other eligible teams.

On the 30th July 2017 and 6th August, the online qualifiers will be taking place. It will be played in a double elimination format, with teams randomly seeded. The top two teams from each qualifier will be invited to the LAN final on the 18th August 2017 at the Intu Trafford Centre.
