A speedy sell out for the Berlin Major
Tickets for the ESL Berlin Major 2023 went on sale on Feb. 15, and on the very same day, limited Premium/Plus tickets were sold out. A few days later, and now all tickets for the event have been sold, with ESL adding “We'll try to squeeze more tickets in soon - stay tuned.”
It’s likely that the venue’s 12,000 maximum capacity isn’t being fully utilized, and that a more conservative number of tickets were initially released.
“We'll try to squeeze more tickets in soon - stay tuned.”
As a result, ESL will now likely attempt to open up sections which it had initially not planned to sell tickets for to expand the event’s capacity closer to the 12k upper limit.
