The only game left in the LPL Summer Playoffs is the finals. The entire season is about to end, and most viewers can feel that the popularity of this year's games has declined significantly. The specific downward trend can also be reflected in the ticket sales. There are still tickets available for the LPL Summer Finals and the 13th Anniversary Bubble Game. In order to sell tickets, the official even launched a discount event, with the lowest discount of 50%.

The specific situation is as follows. Some netizens posted the prices on their ticket purchasing platforms. The lowest discount for the Summer Finals on August 30 is 10%. The three days from August 31 to September 2 are the 13th anniversary celebration, including three BO5 games of the bubble match. Tickets are also discounted, with the lowest being 23% off on September 2 and the highest being 13% off on August 31. This should be the first time in the history of LPL that tickets are discounted, because according to past experience, every final ticket has to be snatched by fans. Many people can't get tickets and even ask for tickets at high prices. Even the tickets for the Spring Finals were sold out at the speed of light. I didn't expect the Summer Finals to fall into this situation.

Some netizens even said they received a 50% discount coupon specifically for purchasingLeague of LegendsTickets for the 13th anniversary celebration, but most netizens did not seem to receive the discount coupons. There should be certain restrictions, and they are only distributed to some audiences.

Simply put, no one is watching the game, this is an indisputable fact. The two teams for the finals have been determined, BLG and WBG. BLG has been invincible in the LPL this year and its popularity has soared, while WBG has veteran players such as Xiaohu, Liu Qingsong, and breathe. Logically, they all have a large fan base, but I didn't expect that the tickets for the finals would be so difficult to sell. Last year, people still bought tickets even when scalpers raised the price, but this year it has become like this. It can only be said that although these two teams have a certain status and popularity in the LPL, they still cannot drive ticket sales.

The teams for the three-day bubble match are basically confirmed. On August 31, LNG and TES or WBG will play BO5. On September 1, NIP and JDG will play BO5. September 2 has not been confirmed yet, so it is also the lowest discount. These teams have popular players, but compared with players of Uzi and theshy's level, the gap is still too big.

Of course, another reason is that the ticket prices are still relatively expensive. The highest ticket price for the finals is 1,088 yuan, and the lowest is 388 yuan. Even after a 10% discount, the price is still not cheap. The lowest price for the bubble match is 288 yuan, and the highest price is 788 yuan. Even if it is a little cheaper with an 80% discount, it is not down-to-earth compared with the prices in previous years. In addition, many fans have to go out of town to watch the game, and they have to pay for accommodation and travel. Many people may think it is not cost-effective.

The popularity of the game has declined, the games have become less interesting, and star players have gradually withdrawn from the stage, which naturally leads to a decrease in the attention paid to the event and a difficulty in selling tickets. Theshy said he would return next year, and doinb also said he would return to the game. In addition, with the addition of new international competitions and the new changes to the league's competition system, I wonder if the popularity can be restored a little?
