The tournament organizers have now announced that they are in talks with the venue to try to change the seating layout. They hope this will allow more people to buy tickets and adjust at the venue.
No Dota 2 event has ever sold tickets faster for us than #ESLOne Birmingham. Currently discussing an adjustment of the venue and stage layout to allow more seats since we are almost at capacity already.
