Frequently asked questions

How do I get tickets?
Open an event, pick a ticket type, and check out. Tickets to free events land in your account instantly; paid orders go through secure checkout. Your ticket — with its QR code — lives in My Page.
What's the difference between free and paid events?
Some events are free to attend and some are paid. Every ticket type shows its full price up front — taxes and fees included. Nothing is added at checkout.
General Admission vs. reserved zones?
General Admission (GA) is first come, first served with no assigned seat — you choose your spot when you arrive. Reserved events show a seating chart and let you pick a zone (e.g. Zone A, B, or C); seating is open within the zone you purchase.
How many tickets can I buy?
Each ticket type has a per-person limit (shown on the ticket). Because every account is tied to one verified person, the limit applies per real fan — keeping access fair when events sell out.
Why do I verify my identity once?
You verify once, at sign-up, and get one-tap entry to every event afterward — no forms to fill out again. Verification confirms you are a real, unique person and, for age-restricted events, that you meet the age requirement (over 18 / over 21) — never your full date of birth.
Is my data safe?
Verification is handled through a trusted identity provider. PlayID stores a verification reference and the minimum attributes needed for the events you join — not copies of your ID documents. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds for paid tickets follow the policy shown at checkout. If an event is cancelled or materially relocated, we refund your order in full — ticket price, fees, and tax — to your original payment method. You don't need to ask: refunds are issued within 10 business days of the announcement.
What if my phone dies or I lose it at the venue?
Your ticket lives in your account, not on your device. Sign in from any phone — even a borrowed one — to pull up your QR code. Stuck at the venue? Email esports@hopae.com and we'll help you get in.
Do you offer accessible seating?
Yes. Wheelchair-accessible and companion seating is offered at the same price as standard seats — no documentation required. Email esports@hopae.com before the event and we'll arrange it.
Need help with something else?
Our support team is at esports@hopae.com — reach out about orders, tickets, entry, or anything event-related and we'll get back to you.
