| Tier | Pass | Full | Half price | Solidarity | | — | — | — | — | — | | Early Bird | 1-day | R$180 | R$90 | R$100 | | Early Bird | 3-day | R$490 | R$245 | R$270 | | Regular | 1-day | R$210 | R$105 | R$115 | | Regular | 3-day | R$580 | R$290 | R$320 | | Last Chance | 1-day | R$250 | R$125 | R$135 | | Last Chance | 3-day | R$690 | R$345 | R$380 |

The solidarity category, labeled Entrada Solidária, carries a 40% ticket discount in exchange for the donation of 1 kg of non-perishable food, excluding salt and sugar. A limited allocation of tickets will also be sold at the venue box office.

Anyone entering an official tournament must hold a 3-Day Competitor Pass valid for all three event days and purchase a separate entry for each game, at R$50 per title. The rules state that holding the pass alone does not secure a tournament slot, and that a game entry alone does not remove the pass requirement. Ticket sales run through Pixta, with purchases completed on Pixta’s site under its own terms according to the event’s tickets page, while competitor registration and brackets are managed through start.gg.

Children up to 10 enter free when accompanied by a paying adult, limited to one child per adult, and attendees aged 15 or under must be accompanied. Competitors under 18 must present a participation authorization signed by a parent or legal guardian, notarized or signed electronically through gov.br, at Evo’s Command Center inside the Green Pavilion.

Tournament Format

Every tournament uses double elimination, with players remaining in the bracket until they have lost two sets. Competition is split into pools of 16 to 32 players played in two-hour blocks during the first days of the event, and at least three players advance from each pool: at least one from the winners bracket and at least two from the losers bracket.

Once pool play ends, the remaining competitors feed into a single double-elimination bracket of up to 64 players, half in winners and half in losers. That semifinal phase runs until six players remain, four in the winners bracket and two in the losers, and those six contest the Top 6 on the main stage, where medals and prizes are awarded based on final placement. Players are separated by region when the bracket is built, and check-in for each pool opens 10 minutes before its scheduled start with the pool’s Bracket Referee.

Set lengths vary by title. Under the rules’ best-of table, Avatar Legends, Guilty Gear -Strive- and Mortal Kombat 1 run best-of-five sets from pools onward, while Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8 and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves play best-of-three in pools before moving to best-of-five from the Top 8. The King of Fighters XV and Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls remain best-of-three until the Top 4.

Street Fighter 6 bans the Dynamic control type and the Training Room stage; Fatal Fury bars the Freight Express, Dream Amusement Park and Ganacci’s Skyvenue stages; and Guilty Gear -Strive- prohibits Ultimate Edition colors for all characters. Tekken 8 competition follows TEKKEN World Tour rules wherever they conflict with the event document.
