Riot Games has announced the VCT EMEA Stage 2 ticket launch dates: pre-sale begins May 7th, and general sale opens May 15th.

The event takes place at the Olympic Arena in Barcelona from August 28-30, with weekend passes priced at €85 and daily tickets starting from €15. [Editor’s Note: For dumbo Americans like me, that’s ~$100 for a weekend pass and ~$18 for a daily ticket.]

How to get VCT EMEA Stage 2 tickets

Riot Games announced ticket pricing and sale dates for VCT EMEA Stage 2 2026 today (April 24), with pre-registration now open via Ticketmaster.

The pricing structure is pretty straightforward. Friday (August 28th) is the cheapest day, with Category 1 tickets at €25 and Category 2 at €15; the different categories represent tiered seating.

Saturday bumps up to €35 and €25 respectively. Sunday is the most expensive at €45 for Category 1 and €35 for Category 2 for the actual finals that crown the EMEA stage champion.

If you’re planning to go for the whole weekend, the weekend pass is €85, which is actually decent value. It saves you about 20 euros if you plan to attend every day of the event. Obviously not saving money if you’re needing to get hotels in the area for all three nights, however.

Pre-registration is open now via Ticketmaster, but that’s just to get yourself in the system. The actual pre-sale and fan club sale both launch on May 7th, so if you’re serious about going, mark that date. General sale opens to the public on May 15th, and there are travel bundles too if you want to get everything in one go.

For those looking for meetups, cosplay, and other events, there’s the Fan Fest. You’ll find that the Olympic Arena in Barcelona will also host a Fan Fest outside the venue, featuring experiences created in collaboration with VCT teams and partners.

There’s also a limited number of Fan Club tickets from select teams available for fan club supporters, giving them the chance to sit together in dedicated sections. It should make it easier for fans to gather around for select teams, and likely get you all featured on the broadcast, chanting for your favorite side. Check in with your VCT team fan club representative for details on how to access these.

We don’t know yet what the teams and groups will be like, so there’s no clue how the favorites will be at the LAN itself. So make sure you pay attention to the groups from July 15th to see all the teams attending in action, before it narrows down to the remaining few teams who will go to LAN in Barcelona.

It comes as EMEA’s first big event to leave the Berlin studio, which it shares with the League of Legends’ LEC league… Long tongue twister, I know.
