Day tickets are on sale — 250.000 ₫ (about ₹920) buys a full day of World Cup pickleball. Here is every day, every stand and every price, which day is worth most, and what to know before you pay.
Checked August 24, 2026: general admission exists. Seven single-day tickets are on sale for Aug 31 through Sep 6, and they start at 250.000 ₫ — ≈ ₹920, under a thousand rupees for a full day inside the main arena.
They are sold on Ticketbox.vn, Vietnam's main ticketing platform — noton the organisers' own portal, which still lists only the VVIP hospitality packages further down this page. That is the single reason this ticket looked, for weeks, like it did not exist. If you have been checking the official site, you have been checking the wrong place.
Everything on sale is for the Tien Son Sport Center, the 7,000-plus-capacity arena that packed a Guinness-record 7,906 in for pickleball in 2025. The other 6 venues — ordinary Da Nang clubs carrying most of the 76 courts — are not ticketed at all, which fits what we have said since August: most of this tournament cannot be gated the way one arena can.
Two gaps worth knowing before you plan. Aug 30, the tournament's first day of play, is not sold, and there is no multi-day or week pass — seven days means seven separate purchases. Entering the open tournament as a competitor, the route this page once recommended, closed when entries shut on July 31.
One ticket, one person, one day, at Tien Son. Prices are listed in dong; the rupee figures are ours, converted at the rate on August 24, 2026 and rounded — treat them as a guide, not a quote.
Pro Men's Singles — winner, semi-finals and bronze. The only open-draw play at Tien Son today.
Pro Men's Doubles — winner, semi-finals and bronze. The only open-draw play at Tien Son today.
Pro Mixed Doubles — winner, semi-finals and bronze, plus the Opening Ceremony at 18:00.
No open-draw play at Tien Son. National-team group stage only — and the organisers have not said where it is played.
Rest day for every open draw. National-team rounds only, venue unpublished — nothing confirmed at Tien Son.
No open-draw play at Tien Son. National quarter-finals, semi-finals and the Vietnam vs World All-Stars exhibition — venue unpublished.
All five Pro Grand Finals at Tien Son, plus the national finals, the Music Festival and the Closing Ceremony.
We got this wrong when the prices first appeared, and the correction is worth stating plainly. The obvious read was that Sep 3 and Sep 4 are a bargain — they are the cheapest tier on the sheet, and the national-team competition has its heaviest rounds on Sep 4. Then the open-draw order of play was published, and it settles the question the other way.
This ticket admits you to Tien Son and nowhere else. Cross the price grid against the order of play and Tien Son has open-draw play on Aug 31, Sep 1, Sep 2 and Sep 6 only — one Pro final-day programme on each of the first three, and all five Grand Finals on the last. Sep 3, Sep 4 and Sep 5 have none at all, and Sep 4 is a full rest day for every open draw. What is left on those days is the national-team competition, whose venue assignments the organisers have never published. A busy day somewhere in Da Nang is not a busy day in the arena your ticket is for.
So: Sep 6 at 1,000,000₫ is the day with the most confirmed to happen in front of you — the Pro Grand Finals in all five disciplines, back to back from 10:10 to 15:35. If that is out of reach, Aug 31, Sep 1 or Sep 2 at 500,000₫ each carry a full Pro winner-semi-final-bronze programme. The 250,000₫ days are the ones to take only if you are happy to gamble on the national-team draw turning up at Tien Son.
On stands: Baseline puts you behind the court ends, looking down the length of play. Kitchen is side-on at the non-volley line, which is the better seat for reading a dink rally and is priced accordingly. VIP, SVIP and VVIP are premium seating and courtside tables above those. The finals-day Kitchen stand was already showing sold out on August 24, 2026.

Ticketbox's terms are stricter than most Indian buyers will expect — nothing here is refundable, and the ID rule catches people out at the gate.
Book in the exact name on the passport you will travel with: entry and the daily wristband exchange both require ID matching the ticket, and the ticket cannot be edited after purchase.

The Cup is not staged in one arena. Beyond the two Tuyen Son and Tien Son sites, play runs at ordinary pickleball clubs across Da Nang — only Tien Son is ticketed, which is why your hotel choice matters more than it looks.
Seven venues and 76 courts are named on the official location list, read August 24, 2026. The organisers have separately quoted 97 courts, so either more sites are still to be named or the higher figure counts practice courts. The list has changed mid-day before — verify before you travel to a specific court.
Most of these sites are indoor — Tien Son is indoor and air-conditioned, and Trang Hoang, Hop Thanh Phat, FitFun and Papi are all listed as indoor. Truong Son is the outdoor one, and the Tuyen Son complex is largely open-air. Da Nang's rainy season starts in September, so which venue you are at genuinely changes your day.
