On July 8, Riot announced all the ticketing details for the biggest tournament of the
VALORANT season, which will take place in France.
VALORANT Champions 2025 will take place at two venues in and around Paris, bringing together the 16 best teams of the year for the final clash of the 2025 VCT season.
The Group Stage and Bracket Stage will take place at Les Arènes de l’Agora in Évry-Courcouronnes, located in the southern suburbs of Paris. From 12 to 29 September, the arena will host 14 days of competition, including weekends and weekdays. The final weekend will take place in one of France’s largest arenas. The Accor Arena, located in the heart of Paris, will host the semi-finals and Grand Final from 3 to 5 October.

Riot’s verified-fan system is required for early access
In order to combat bots and ticket touts, Riot has introduced a verified-fan system. Only eligible players will be permitted access to the first wave of ticket sales. To qualify, fans must have created a Riot account before 1 April 2025 and played at least one VALORANT game. Between 30 May and 15 June, players had to register for ticket access on Riot’s official page.
Eligible players will receive a unique access code in July. This code can be used to purchase up to four tickets. However, having a code does not guarantee tickets, as stock is limited and tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
Three waves of ticket sales
There are three phases of ticket sales for the Champions Paris 2025. Fans with early access will enter the queue before the general public
- Mastercard presale: July 9 at 6 a.m ET
- Verified-fan sale: July 10 at 9 a.m ET
- General public sale: July 15 at 9 a.m ET
All tickets will be sold online via Ticketmaster France. Verified-fan codes will not work after the general sale begins
Tips for buying tickets fast
Several fans have reported high demand and bugs during the first presale on July 9. According to comments shared on Reddit, many people had issues accessing tickets even with codes
To increase your chances, fans recommend avoiding VPNs, using incognito mode, and refreshing only when needed. Logging in early and having payment ready can also help.
