A NEW WAY TO SELECT YOUR SEATS

We’re excited to introduce a new digital seat selection experience for Friends of DCI members for the 2027 DCI World Championships!

This year, instead of submitting seating preferences and waiting for seats to be assigned, you’ll be able to view available seats and select your exact locations online. Your Friends of DCI giving level determines the seating areas available to you, ensuring that you continue to receive the priority access associated with your support.

With the new process, you’ll enjoy:

• Choose Your Exact Seats — See available locations in real time and select the seats that work best for you.
• Priority Donor Access — Access seating reserved for Friends of DCI before it becomes available to the general public.
• Access Based on Your Giving Level — Your donor level provides access to designated premium seating areas for the DCI World Championships.
• Keep Your Championships Experience Together — Select your three-night package for Prelims, Semifinals, and Finals through one streamlined process.

On October 2, 2026, you'll receive an email with your specific access link, secret code and the exact date & time your acess will open. When your purchase window opens, simply select your Friends of DCI level below to enter the appropriate seat selection page and choose from the inventory available to your level.

Your support gives you priority access. Now, it also gives you more control over where you experience the DCI World Championships.
