Busan Metropolitan City, the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency, and the Busan Indie Connect Festival Organizing Committee (hereinafter BIC Organizing Committee) have announced that blind ticket reservations for the global indie game festival 'Busan Indie Connect Festival 2026 (hereinafter BIC 2026)' will kick off on June 22 at 3:00 PM.

Introduced for the first time this year, these blind tickets act as the initial pre-sale window before the final lineup is even revealed. The lure? A massive 50% discount—the steepest you'll find throughout the entire event cycle.

The discount is applied across three distinct ticket tiers designed to suit different attendee needs. This includes the 'Business Pass' for industry professionals (August 14), the 'Offline Festival Ticket (2 DAY)' for those meeting developers at BEXCO on August 15 and 16, and the 'Online Festival Ticket' for those enjoying BIC 2026 from the comfort of their own homes.

The Business Pass is strictly for industry types and buyers. It offers full access to the offline festival from August 14 to 16, and comes bundled with an online invitation, letting you soak in every bit of BIC 2026.

August 14, the opening day, is reserved exclusively for the industry, with general admission restricted. Pass holders can dive deep into networking and pre-arranged meetings via the global business matching platform 'MeetToMatch' within the B2B-dedicated Biz Zone. On the same day, the Busan Indie Wave Conference, co-hosted by the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency and the BIC Organizing Committee, will also take place.

The 'Offline Festival Ticket (2 DAY)' grants entry to the BEXCO exhibition hall on both August 15 and 16. Meanwhile, the Online Festival Ticket offers unlimited access to play the featured titles from August 7 through August 28, covering the entire duration of the BIC online festivities.

Blind tickets are available for purchase until July 10 at 11:59 PM. BIC official websitewhere you can secure your spot.
