PUBG Mobile’s global championship heads to Istanbul with an Alan Walker WOW Party
The PMGC in-person event is listed for December 11–13, with separate admission conditions for the December 12 WOW Party.
The 2026 PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) is heading to Istanbul, Türkiye, for an in-person event. Official ticketing partner Bubilet lists December 11–13 at the Turkcell Basketbol Gelişim Merkezi. Alongside the competition, PUBG Mobile has scheduled a WOW Party featuring Alan Walker for December 12.
The October 24 official announcement places the party at the venue’s Victory Zone from 20:00 to 22:00 Istanbul local time. It combines a live performance with a World of Wonder (WOW) experience. Ticketing partner Biletix says the approximately two-hour event includes an approximately one-hour Alan Walker performance; actual timings may change.
The physical party and the Alan Walker WOW map covered previously are connected but distinct experiences. The former requires attendance in Istanbul and the appropriate ticket; playing the map does not itself grant party admission. The on-site WOW area recommends that visitors install PUBG Mobile and the WOW resource pack on their phones beforehand.
Admission deserves a close look. The official announcement describes the limited party option as an add-on to the December 12 PMGC Day 2 Early Bird Category 1 ticket; it is not included with every championship ticket. Early Bird runs October 24–November 6 and the regular sale November 7–December 13. The ticket page also lists regular Category 1 at 600 Turkish lira, Category 2 at 350 lira and the Day 2 Category 1 plus party package at 1,100 lira. Check the official checkout for the available package, current price and fees.
Championship seating is chosen first come, first served within the purchased zone rather than assigned in advance; the WOW Party is standing-only. Biletix requires a mobile e-ticket and valid identification for entry, and says tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable except where law requires otherwise or the event is cancelled. Programs and entry rules can change, so visitors from other regions should check the latest official terms.
The programme brings the annual mobile tournament and a music event together: match days provide the gathering point, while a WOW creation extends the game into an on-site experience. The tournament prize pool is US$3 million; team schedules, broadcasts and the detailed programme remain subject to PUBG Mobile’s later announcements.
