Riot Games reveals ticket details for VALORANT Champions 2026 in Shanghai
Riot Games has officially unveiled the venue schedule and ticketing framework for VALORANT Champions 2026, confirming that the Group and Bracket stages will take place at the Jing'an Sports Center in Shanghai, before the tournament moves to the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Pudong for Finals Weekend.
General ticket sales are set to begin on September 2 at 11:00 CST via the MAISEAT platform. International fans will gain early access through a priority purchase window running from August 30 to September 1, which is exclusively available to Mastercard holders outside Mainland China.
Pricing varies by day of the week. Weekday tickets (September 24, 29-30 and October 8-10) range from ¥198 for Tier 4 up to ¥488 for Tier 1, while weekend matches (September 25-27, October 1-4, 7, and 11) see prices rise from ¥288 to ¥568 for Tier 1. Separate Tier 1 Bundles are also available for selected attendees.
The event will operate under a strict real-name ticketing system where tickets cannot be transferred or resold. International visitors must use a valid passport for purchase and entry, with identity verification and facial recognition required at the venue to ensure the registered ID matches the attendee.
Seat selection is not available during the initial purchase phase; Riot Games will prioritize adjacent seating for multi-ticket orders where possible, with final seat details expected to appear in the ticket wallet approximately two to three days before each event.
