“Ticket Prices” for HLE Sell Out in 5 Minutes, “Waiting List” Pricing Reaches Unbelievable Heights
As previously mentioned, at the end of June this year, Hanwha Life Esports will send a delegation to Vietnam. With the participation of familiar names from the First Stand 2025 organization, the event is expected to attract significant interest from the League of Legends community. Additionally, the “pre-sale” ticket prices will contribute to the excitement surrounding this year’s FANFEST event. The tickets for HLE “sold out” in just 5 minutes after being released. However, since then, a ticket resale market has emerged, with prices being listed as “waiting list” tickets.
According to reports, just a few minutes after the announcement of the sold-out tickets, the resale prices on various platforms have skyrocketed, reaching at least 5 times the original ticket price. In fact, on some platforms, individuals are even reselling FANFEST tickets for 10 times the initial price.
The draw of this event has exceeded the expectations of many, from the organizers to the fans. Although this will be the third time the FANFEST has been held in Vietnam, the number of HLE fans has not yet reached the overwhelming levels one would expect. Many believe that the number of HLE fans has significantly increased after the arrival of Zeus—this name has attracted fans since his time at T1.
League of Legends Community Faces Challenges with HLE’s Business Practices
With limited ticket availability and soaring prices, HLE fans are struggling to find opportunities to meet their teams amidst these business practices. However, the high prices for “waiting list” tickets have left many feeling frustrated. This competition for tickets with resellers has made it difficult for genuine fans to obtain tickets.
Ultimately, if fans remain cautious, it is unlikely that many will choose to purchase these “waiting list” tickets. As a result, a substantial number of tickets for watching HLE may be canceled due to their inflated prices when the event concludes. If there are still buyers, many risks will follow, such as ticket prices crashing, tickets not being valid for entry, and ultimately, the true fans of this team will be left disappointed.
