Bilety
Wave 2 is live
Tickets for IEM Cologne 2025, will be going live in 4 waves starting in October. Compared to previous years, we deployed a few changes to improve your experience:
- We are splitting lower and upper ranks, allowing you to choose your favourite location in the arena. This is also intended to speed up the entrance process inside the arena.
- "Weekend Lower Reserved" tickets include an assigned seat at the lower ranks at level 3. While all other areas are free seating, reserved tickets allow you to peacefully enjoy all the side activities in between matches, knowing you can always return to your assigned seat.
- We are introducing the optional "Cathedral Experience" add-on for every ticket holder. This add-on allows fans from every ticket category to get their hands on highly limited merchandise items, with most items not being available for purchase. Items in this add-on are different from the premium goodie bag, making it an optional add-on for premium ticket holders, too.
Please note that the minimum age to attend this event is 16.
