ESL FACEIT Group partners with Ticketmaster ahead of IEM Katowice 2023

Ticketmaster, the global ticketing platform for all sorts of events, has announced a partnership with the ESL FACEIT Group ahead of IEM Katowice 2023. As a result, Ticketmaster will become the event's official ticketing partner and provide its technology to the event through Ticketmaster Poland, the company's local division.

Alexander Shlyachetko, Managing Director of ESL FACEIT Group: "We are very excited to welcome fans of IEM Katowice for the 11th time. We want to provide the community with the best technology and service to improve the quality of their experience. To ensure this, we have partnered with Ticketmaster, and we are happy to offer fans around the world even more phenomenal live esports moments."

IEM Katowice 2023 will take place from January 31st to February 12th for CS:GO and from February 8th to February 12th for StarCraft II. Both events are traditional for the tournament operator ESL, which previously merged with FACEIT. The tournament is part of the Intel Extreme Masters, the longest-running esports tournament.

Other than revealing the collaboration for IEM Katowice 2022, Ticketmaster and ESL FACEIT Group have not announced any further details about the partnership or possible future plans.

Ticketmaster is one of the largest event ticketing platforms in the world, supporting hundreds of daily events through its online ticketing system. It is likely that the parties will provide more details in the future.
