Tickets will be sold in a single wave starting at 10am SGT (2am GMT) on August 13th, with a limit of 5 tickets per customer for each date. Purchasers residing within Singapore will have the option for courier delivery or will-call pickup. All others must pick up their tickets at will-call only.

The event itself has been split into two separate sections: The Playoffs (October 20 - 23) and the Finals Weekend (October 29-30). The Playoffs will feature the top sixteen teams in Dota 2 as they battle for a spot in the Finals. This part of the competition will be held at the Suntec Convention Center in Singapore, and tickets will be sold for the four days separately for a price of $88 SGD each.

The Finals Weekend will be the culmination of the event, where the four remaining teams compete to prove themselves worthy of claiming the Aegis of Champions. The Finals Weekend will be held at Singapore Indoor Stadium, and tickets will be available for $498 SGD—a single ticket allows entrance for both days.
