How to buy tickets to IGN Live 2025

Head over to ign.com/live and you’ll land on the festival’s main page. Right up front, you’ll find big, unmissable links to buy tickets. Tap one, and you’ll be redirected to a Tixr page with two options: General Admission or VIP.

General Admissionis $25 and gets you a one-day pass. You can choose Saturday (June 7) or Sunday (June 8). This is the basic package: entrance to the event, and that’s about it.

VIP Admissionwill run you $40, but it comes with weekend-long access, priority entry, and a swag bag full of IGN-branded goodies. After that, it’s the usual checkout flow: pick your ticket, plug in your info, and boom, you’re set.
