Early Plus & Premium Check-In & ESL Shop Opening:
Plus & Premium ticket holders can check-in one day earlier: on Thursday and receive their goodie bag, wrist band, and attendee badge. That way, you can skip the check-in line on Friday!
Additionally, for every CS:GO fan around, the ESL Shop will be open, so you can be the first one to secure the latest merch drop and show up at the playoffs in style!
Times for early check-in & ESL Shop early access: Thursday 16:00 - 19:00
