Ticket pre-sale to participating bands for EBBC 2026

Following the experiences at EBBC 2025 with several empty seats despite a sold-out event, EBBA’s Executive Committee has evaluated the ticket sales process.
In order to provide more tickets available for the general audience through the regular tickets sales, it has been decided that the number of tickets available in the pre-sale for the participating band will be limited to 20 combi-tickets.

The pre-sale was intended for players to secure tickets for the championships, but this has not always been the case.
The pre-sale for the bands will be announced to the bands, but will be limited to the start of January.
