Just a few moments ago, Valve released their first wave of info regarding the highly anticipated International 2017.
In an announcement on the DOTA2 blog, Valve has released the ticket info for the upcoming International 2017, which is set to be held over six days in August, from Monday the 7th through to Saturday the 12th in the KeyArena in Seattle, Washington.
There are two choices for tickets, much like last year's TI:
- Midweek Tickets, available for $100; Allows access for the first four days of the event from August 7-10
- Finals Tickets, available for $200; Allows access for the last two days of the event from August 11-12
Similar to last year, there will be no VIP program as well, leaving you with the two choices above. Note however, that if you don't have a finals ticket, you'll still be able to watch the finals from a free outdoor viewing area outside the KeyArena much like last year and of course, on Twitch most likely as well.
Tickets will be sold through Ticketmaster, and are set to be sold on April 4th at 10 am and 10 pm Pacific Time. Valve has provided some additional time conversions for various regions which are listed as follows:
- Seattle: April 4th at 10AM and 10PM
