Tickets for the League of Legends Worlds 2026 finals are being resold at enormous markups on secondary marketplaces. Some listings now exceed $100,000, while the tournament itself is scheduled to run from October through November.
The most expensive listings for matches at Brooklyn's Barclays Center have reached $169,000 on SeatGeek for a suite seat. Even the cheapest seats in the upper sections of the arena are listed from $1,860, far above their original prices.
Many fans believe Riot Games' Fan First ticket distribution system contributed to the issue. The company confirmed that verified accounts were selected through a random drawing to receive early access before general ticket sales began.
Riot Games has already responded to the situation. The League of Legends and Valorant developer announced that a second wave of general admission tickets will go on sale in August. Rumors have also claimed that only a limited number of general admission tickets were available when sales opened on July 24, although Riot Games has not confirmed those reports.
