As someone who's more of a TCG collector than a player, I've been really enjoying watching and learning about the Cyberpunk TCG. I definitely don't have the experience to attend tournaments just yet, but I can see why people would really want to. So, when tickets opened up for the Edgerunner Open Regionals in Warsaw, I'm not shocked they sold out fast. However, many players are frustrated that they didn't get the opportunity, and WeirdCo has come out with a statement following the chaos.
Unless you were extremely lucky or were equipped with a Sandevistan, the Cyberpunk TCG's Regional in Warsaw sold out fairly fast. Well, at least the Major Leagues and Streetkid portions did, with side event tickets going on sale on 18 November. However, these are exclusive to those who managed to score tickets to the featured event. While the event is managed by the developer, WeirdCo, tickets were sold through Melee.gg, a platform for tournaments and, well, events.

“I know folks are frustrated from the experience last night, but we are working with Melee on improving ticket sales for future events,” WeirdCo’s ‘Kawa’ shared in the TCG's official Discord server. “Demand was incredibly high for these events, and we have limited event capacity space.” Kawa, the Head of Marketing, said that whether they used a lottery or kept the standard system they had in place, some “folks would still be left disappointed.”
The event, which takes place on the weekend of 30 and 31 January 2027, is set to be held at the Warsaw EXPO XXI venue in Warsaw, Poland. Attending as part of the Major Leagues badge gets you everything included with the Streetkid ticket, but with the added bonus of a foil Muamar Reyes: El Capitán promo.
“I truly understand everyone's frustration as a TCG player myself.” The statement from WeirdCo continues: “But please keep in mind that we are also humans reading these messages and passing on the feedback.” WeirdCo's statement also mentions that some players called developers “dirty” or “lazy”, adding that “that does nothing to help the situation.”
“We are going to make sure we work with Melee to ensure future ticket sales run more smoothly.” The developer's statement ends with some hope, which is ironic considering Cyberpunk's dystopian world. Fortunately, another Edgerunner Open Regional will be coming shortly after, with the EOR at the San Diego Convention Center starting the following week, between the 5th and 7th of February, 2027. Tickets will be released on 20 November for general sale.
