Dota 2 International tickets sell out in under an hour

If you were thinking about going to watch Dota 2 International 2014, I have some bad news – the tickets are sold out. In fact, all 10,000 were sold out within an hour of going on sale, according to Valve’s Doug Lombardi.

Opportunistic ticket holders are already reselling their precious commodities on eBay, with general admission tickets available for $200 (around R2,100) – twice the original selling price. Original floor seating tickets sold for $199 (R2,090), while VIP tickets were $499 (R5,200).

The Dota 2 International 2014 will take place at the Key Arena in Seattle from 18 – 21 July. This is the International’s fourth year in existence, with last year’s International boasting a prize pool of $2.8 million (R29.5 million). This year’s prize money has not been finalised.
