Riot Games Tickets

Amazing experience it was my first ever esport event i ever went to and worlds coming to New York made it the best everything was organized and easy to locate would love to go again if riot ever decides to host in New York again

Rarely do esports events of this caliber come to Chicago, and it was incredible to visit the United Center to experience a live event for one of the biggest esports in the world right where I live. My hope is that more tournaments from counterstrike, league, etc bring their final events to Chicago.

Security was bottlenecked into one check point and took forever to get in. Once you were in you were trapped unless you wanted to go thru security again. What the worst part is, they didn't have enough food and water vendors for everyone there. I ended up leaving and coming back later to sit thru security again. I ended up skipping the second day because of how badly managed this event was

I'll start off by saying the the production behind the show and games itself were to- tier. Genuinely one of the best shows by Riot and I've been to 3 other LCS finals, a Rift Rivals, and Worlds in 2016. Crowd was electric, casters were on point and the people running the show in between games did an incredible job keeping everyone involved and entertained. Now for everything around the show. The pre-game left a lot to be desired. Saturday was shaping up to be a catastrophe. We were encouraged to go to Fan Fest and required to bring our tickets. There was minimal to no information on where to go to retrieve our tickets (no signs or anything) and when we asked the United Center employees we were given conflicting information. This seemed to be a theme for the weekend when it came to communication between Riot and United Center. On Saturday and there was only one food truck, no water as it had been sold out and it was scorching hot. Many people were suffering from heat exhaustion while we were waiting in line for the various activities in Fan Fest. Once we realized that there wasn't a whole lot going on at Fan Fest we started to make our way to the entrance. Again, no signs on where we needed to go or how to get to our seats. We were redirected to multiple entrances as United Center staff also seemed to not know where we would enter. Once we were actually let get in (about 10 minutes after we were supposed to at 1:30 CT - this issue happened on both days) it was a frenzy on what side we needed to go to. I had purchased the general admission seats that allowed us to go to one of two sections depending on the team we were rooting for. We were informed per Riot's site to ask the ushers which section was for which team, but most did not know what we were talking about and they also didn't know that there were general admission seats for Sundays games as well. Seating was also an issue as most people were unsure whether the section was actually general admission or not since the tickets had actual seat numbers and rows, and this led to a dispute between some of the guests on Sunday that lead one of the United Center employees getting involved as they were unsure if the section was general admission or not for Sundays games. They then stated that if someone comes with the seat number that someone is in, they would be asked to move (despite again it being general admission). I had bought a 2-day event pass with the same information on both, why would Saturday be GA and not Sunday? Then it came time to leave the event but we were unable to leave through any of the exits so we were all funneled out through one exit which was very time consuming and confusing as we weren't sure where to go following the 20K+ people all trying to leave to their various ways home. It was a very messy event that hopefully gets ironed out for the next one. I would say most of the issues seemed to stem from a lack of clear communication between parties. We could ask 5 different people on where to go to for something and would somehow get 8 different answers. It was definitely frustrating to go through at times but in the end when it came to the show itself and a reason to visit Chicago I would say it was still a good time.

Great weekend with fun vendors and a great show. Could be better prepared with accessibility to food and drinks on a hot day (Saturday) and having booths ready to go regardless of rain (Sunday).

I never leave reviews but that's just how good this event was. Doesn't matter if you like the game or not I think this event was enjoyable for just about anyone. Semi finals were a bit dull but the finals were insane. I've never screamed and cheered so much in my life. The crowds at these events are so interactive and it was a full house. I'd recommend going to a finals for LCS whenever you get the chance.

Chicago is an expensive city already, having an event there made it even more expensive 1: venue; outside: the fan fest area 1st day was jumbo cluster of tabled tented chaos. Very crowded, so multiple times I or someone else had to ask what the line was for as two lines were merging even with QR map 1; inside 2nd day w/ rain: it was organized circular corridor of chaos again with spokes jutting and merging into crowds for food and merch. Cost: tickets - event was cost friendly, it was riot event. Venue cost and Chicago was crazy expensive. I understand profit and supply but 6.25 for bottle water and 7.25 for bottle pop/soda/coke. The $2 canned teas was almost a meal at McDonald's. Overall, it was fun if you like what league and riot provides, had more fun at Detroit in 2019 I took the train into Chicago and had to Uber everywhere as no hotels were really affordable or located near the venue. It's edge of city but also not.

Actually far exceeded my expectations, would 100% go back again.

Super fun to go to! Had a great time & have never been something like this before

LCS was an amazing experience and I'm happy to have gone! The United Center was wonderful as always. Only issue we had was we couldn't hear the casters very often. Especially when something big happened.
