More ExileCon Tickets Added!

There are still some ExileCon tickets available and we've added another small batch of tickets that can be bought right now at www.pathofexile.com/exilecon!

We also have around 50 VIP tickets available. For fairness, these will be offered on a first-come basis to existing ticket holders that are interested in upgrading. If you've purchased a ticket before today and want to upgrade it to a VIP ticket, please email support@grindinggear.com to arrange it. There's a good chance we'll be able to help you out!

If there are any VIP tickets left after existing attendees have had a chance to upgrade their tickets, we'll be adding them to the pool for general sale at 2pm on May 16th (PDT).

VIP ticket holders get the following:

  • Priority queueing for Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile Mobile game demos
  • Priority queueing for the merchandise shop
  • VIP seating at the front of auditorium during the keynote presentation
  • VIP dinner with GGG devs on Friday at Wildfire Churrascaria (primarily a meat restaurant but with vegetarian options). Wine and beer included.


Please also note that the name on your ticket needs to match your photo ID, so when purchasing a second ticket for your friend or a family member, make sure that the name on that ticket matches their photo ID.

Good luck, Exiles! We can't wait to see you in New Zealand in July!
