This figure has been replaced. See Corrected estimate of 2026 Worlds spectator ticket takings as a multiple of the $2 million prize pool.
How it’s built
- Take the research’s spectator-takings estimate for each year (attendance times badge price).
- Divide by the stated prize pool: $1m in 2023, $2m in 2024–2026.
- Result: 0.1–0.2 (2023), 0.07–0.28 (2024), 0.44–1.36 (2025), 1.86–4.05 (2026).
What we assumed
- The yearly takings estimates are right.Each is itself an estimate built from press attendance counts and listed prices; the ranges carry that uncertainty.
- Prize pools are taken at their stated value.Pools are described as “over” $1m or $2m, so each ratio is a ceiling.
Sanity check
The 2026 top end has been corrected: arena capacity limits finals-pass sales, so a later estimate puts 2026 at 1.86–3.5. Earlier years stand.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.

- 2023: 0.1 to 0.2

- 2023: $0.10–0.20m ÷ $1.0m
- 2024: $0.150–0.560m ÷ $2.0m = 0.07–0.28
- 2025: $0.878–2.723m ÷ $2.0m = 0.44–1.36
- 2026: $3.71–8.10m ÷ $2.0m = 1.86–4.05
