WPT Global has teamed up with The Festival Series for one of the more flexible live promotions of 2026. Until June 2nd, players can qualify online for a €1,600 travel package to one of two European stops this summer, and the destination is entirely their call.
Win your seat and you pick between Rozvadov in June or Tallinn in July. Both packages are valued at around $1,850, both include Main Event entry and hospitality, and both take place at serious festival venues. The difference is what kind of trip you want.
One Package, Two Epic Destinations
Here's how the two options compare at a glance:
| Destination | Dates | What's Included |
|---|---|---|
| Rozvadov, Czech Republic | June 9–15 | €550 Main Event seat, 6 nights at Casino Hotel, daily buffet, The Festival cap, hospitality package, $100,000 Golden Ticket |
| Tallinn, Estonia | July 1–5 | 2 × €555 Main Event entries, 2 × hospitality packages |
Both options also include exclusive Festival merchandise and a full hospitality schedule throughout the event.
Rozvadov: June 9–15
Kings Casino in Rozvadov is probably the most well-known poker destination in Central Europe, and The Festival has built a loyal following there for good reason. If you choose this stop, your package covers:
1 × €550 The Festival 2026 Main Event ticket
6 nights' accommodation at the casino hotel (June 9–15)
Daily buffet at the casino plus entrance fee
1 × exclusive The Festival cap
1 × hospitality package
$100,000 Golden Ticket (see below)
The whole week is essentially taken care of — arrive, play, and enjoy the festival atmosphere without worrying about logistics.
Tallinn: July 1–5
The Tallinn stop runs at the Olympic Park Casino inside the Hilton Park Hotel from July 1st to 5th. The package here is built differently: two Main Event tickets and two hospitality packages. No hotel accommodation is included, but two bullets in the Main Event means you can re-enter if you bust early. If you want a shorter, tournament-focused trip with more flexibility around travel, Tallinn makes a strong case. Note that the $100,000 Golden Ticket bonus does not apply to this destination.
How to Qualify: The Satellite Ladder
You don't need a high-roller bankroll to compete. WPT Global has built a three-step qualification ladder that starts at micro-stakes:
| Step | Buy-In | Schedule | Feeds Into |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step Satellites | $0.55 | Through the week | $5.50 Daily Satellites |
| Daily Satellites | $5.50 | Multiple times daily | $55 Weekly Qualifier Final |
| Package Qualifier Final | $55 | Every Monday at 19:05 UTC | Festival Packages + $55 tickets |
The $55 Package Qualifier Final runs every Monday at 19:05 UTC from April 13 through June 1. Each final carries a $4,250 guarantee, broken down as two full $1,850 Festival Packages and ten $55 MTT tickets. Late registration stays open for two hours, giving direct buy-ins and last-minute satellite winners plenty of time to get seated.
The $5.50 daily feeders run at the following times (UTC):
Tuesday to Sunday: 18:06 / 19:06 / 20:06
Monday: 17:06 / 18:06 / 19:06
Late registration for the feeders is one hour.
The $100,000 Golden Ticket
On top of the live packages, WPT Global has added a headline bonus for the Rozvadov destination. Any player who qualifies through this promotion, chooses Rozvadov, and goes on to win the €550 NLHE Main Event outright may be eligible for an additional $100,000 bonus on top of their standard first-place prize money.
Full promotion terms and conditions apply, covering how the bonus is triggered, deal and chop treatment, and verification requirements. It does not apply to Tallinn. But for anyone with genuine Main Event ambitions, it turns a festival win into a potential six-figure result.
The Festival Series: What to Expect
The Festival Series isn't an elite high-stakes circuit. It's built around a relaxed, social atmosphere, mixed player pools, and a genuine focus on the experience beyond the poker. Whether you're grinding the Rozvadov tables across a full week or playing two Main Event bullets in Tallinn, the campaign is designed for players who want poker and travel as a package.
The "choose your destination" structure is a smart design. You qualify first, then decide. That flexibility is a real differentiator compared to a standard single-event satellite, and it means your schedule doesn't have to revolve around a fixed date before you've even won your seat.
The promotion is open to players in Canada and EU countries.

$0.55 Step Satellites run throughout the week and feed into the daily feeders
$5.50 Daily Satellites run multiple times each day and feed into the Monday final
$55 Package Qualifier Final runs every Monday at 19:05 UTC through June 1, with at least two full packages and ten $55 tickets guaranteed every week

The promotion runs until June 2nd. There are still several qualifier windows left, but don't leave your first satellite until the final week.
