Ticket sale and resale
Where can I buy official EWC 2026 tickets?
Buying online tickets requires caution! The best option is to go via the official EWC 2026 website. There are several websites where you can buy tickets: platinumlist, tixr.com, webook.com.
When you go to the official website of the EWC 2026, it redirects you automatically to webook.com.
Any unofficial resale carries significant risks. E-tickets may be forged, resold more than once or deactivated by the organisers if they breach the terms and conditions of sale.
Tip: Make sure that the ticket is for the specific tournament or event you wish to attend. Select carefully the dates when buying your ticket!

EWC 2026 offers several ticket categories:
- Daily Passes — access to one competition day for a specific tournament;
- Regular Tournament Passes — access to all days of one tournament;

Some ticket types may sell out quickly, especially finals and premium seating.

Are tickets digital or physical?
