This event will feature a [priority entry ticket raffle] for audience members, granting prioritized seating access through a drawing process.

In addition to the main arena seats, we have also rented out the recliner theater located on the floor below the arena, so make sure to participate in the raffle! 

The Season 9 Masters Finals in Busan will also allow for on-site, first-come, first-served registration for those who did not win the priority entry raffle. Regardless of the raffle results, all visitors are free to enjoy the side events.

§ Seating Details

There are a total of 280 available seats within the Busan Esports Arena. 

We will be holding a raffle for 130 priority entry tickets, 140 seats will be reserved for first-come, first-served on-site attendees and 10 seats for sponsor event winners. Those who successfully win a priority entry ticket will be able to watch the players' matches directly inside the arena.

In addition to the arena seats, applicants can also select to attend the viewing party held in the recliner theater on the floor below the arena through a multiple-choice selection in the application. We look forward to your participation.
