Worlds woes: League fans face issues securing tickets to 2022 World Championship, sell out in minutes

Every year, League of Legends fans scramble to buy tickets to the esports’ biggest event of the year, the World Championship. Tickets usually sell out in minutes, and with this year’s event taking place in North America for the first time since 2016, things were tougher than ever before.

The tickets were sold out in mere moments today as fans logged into the Ticketmaster website and lined up in the virtual queue, according to multiple would-be Worlds attendees. With thousands of fans vying to watch their favorite teams compete on the grandest stage of them all, there weren’t a lot of expectations around a smooth purchasing experience.
