One scalper admitted he had 60 tickets on hand, selling each TI Finals ticket for S$1,700 each.

A netizen took to Reddit to rant about the difficulty in purchasing tickets despite making the necessary preparations.

“I was sure I’d be able to get them because I had heard good things about the queue system last time and how it was designed to be fair.”“No problem, I’d be happy to get tickets just to the finals only. I click to pick my seat and just in that little time, those are sold out as well. I can’t believe it,” said the Redditor, noting he was willing to put in the $850 for all six days of the event.

“Add the cost of plane tickets and staying there for almost two weeks, that comes out to more than double of that. So even though it’s a lot, I had saved up because it would have been my first TI.”
