Yep, it’s that time again; time to secure your spot at the largest fighting game tournament in the world. Over the weekend, the Evolution Championship Series organizers opened online registration for this year’s event, giving competitors and spectators the opportunity to finalize their plans for July.

Attendees will have three options open to them: a $70 three-day pass to the tournament hall, a three-day pass to the viewing hall for $50, and a two-day pass priced at $40 for everything before finals. Each comes with their own unique accesses and restrictions, so be sure to read the fine-print carefully as you fill out the form. Prices will go up March 30, 2015, so make sure to act fast!

Unlike past events, Evo 2015 will not feature a separate competitor’s pass. Purchasing any of the aforementioned packages will allow tournament entry for an additional $10 per game.

Additionally, the event organizers relayed that 3000 seats will be available for Sunday’s finals in the main hall. With passes guaranteed to sell out, you will need to act fast in order to secure your spot.

If you’ve yet to book your hotel, you can take advantage of a special deal being offered by Bally’s / Paris Las Vegas here.

Evo 2015 is scheduled for July 17-19.
