Sweet Home Chicago! The Countdown To Old School RuneScape's Deadman All Stars Finals Begins As Tickets Go On Sale 28th February

Tickets for the first RuneScape event ever held outside of the UK go on sale next week! 

Thursday 26th February 2026, Cambridge, UK - Jagex has announced tickets for Old School RuneScape’s Deadman All Stars Live will go on general sale on 16:00 GMT, 28th February via Ticketmaster. Players will also be able to purchase tickets in a limited pre-sale period which will go live on 16:00 GMT, 27th February with a pre-sale code which is acquired via the Jagex Launcher.  

Taking place at the Rosemont Theatre, Chicago, Illinois on Saturday, 20th June, this creator-led, invitational Esports tournament is a significant step for the RuneScape franchise and Jagex. In addition to being the first live All Stars event, the finals are the first time a RuneScape event will be held outside of the UK since its launch in 2001.  

What is Deadman: All Stars? 

  • Deadman: All Stars is the annual, invite-only version of Old School RuneScape’s open PvP Deadman game mode. The finals will see six invited, creator-led teams battle live on stage in front of a packed auditorium, until only the victorious remain. 


  • A highly intense and competitive tournament that celebrates the very best of the Old School RuneScape Community, All Stars sees 30 participants drafted into the teams of five before battling to be the last team standing. 


  • The build up to the finals take place over nine days, with each player limited to 120 hours of playtime, during which time teams must build their game accounts from scratch, accruing gear ahead of the finale in Chicago. 


  • Season 1 winners and Season 2 runners-up, Dino Nuggets, will look to reclaim the crown, while another returning team, Odablock Warriors, will hope to go one better than their previous best of second place, and snag the top spot. 

Ticket prices will range from $94.99-$189.99 for standard tickets, depending on which tier of seating you select. There are also limited amounts of VIP package options available between Rune and Dragon. These packages both include additional extras and some of the best seating, with Dragon providing an all-inclusive, special access experience.  

Rune Package is priced at $334.99 and Dragon Package at $504.99. For more information about the packages on offer please visit the Deadman All Stars website. 

Alongside the event’s tickets, Jagex has opened pre-orders for a range of merchandise celebrating Deadman All Stars Live. Embracing a fashion-forward, streetwear aesthetic, these lines are available with an early-bird discount on pre-order. These lines will form part of the wider range available at the event with the exception of the Icon Hoodie, available exclusively on pre-order and never to be restocked or resold. 

The tournament and finals will also be live-streamed on the Old School RuneScape Twitch account, hosted by high-profile players Solo Mission, Purespam, and EVSscape shoutcasting, enabling fans who can’t get to Chicago to witness what will be a tense battle for the Deadman: All Stars crown.
