Ticket Update: 3:37pm CT on 10/29/25

In less than 6 hours, Sky Wars 2026 is already 70% sold out. Our VIP Experience and Reserved Parking passes have indeed sold out.

If you still need GA tickets, please get them while supplies last at the link on our website: skywarsevent.com

If you need to resell your tickets or buy tickets 3rd party, our Tixel portal is officially open (please do NOT attempt to sell/buy 3rd party tickets anywhere else).

TICKET ISSUES: Due to the extremely high volume of ticket sales today, some may have experienced lag times on the ticketing website, for which we apologize. Some may have also noticed that tickets in a cheaper discount tier have re-appeared after a purchase. We believe this is because TicketTailor will not show tickets that are in someone's cart, but if a transaction is not completed, those tickets will be re-released for someone else to purchase.

With all that said, we cannot wait to showcase the best in United States pyrotechnic artistry with all who're able to attend on September 26th (we're expecting 10,000+ attendees again). Please get the tickets you need while they're available or utilize Tixel for resales.

THANK YOU, Sky Wars fans, for your incredible support of our event and for your patience with us today. Thank you to all who attend, and especially to those who've spread the word far and wide about our fiery showdown. Your excitement and support mean so much to everyone who helps bring this show to life each year. Let's keep fueling that burning passion for pyro we all share! 🔥❤️🔥
