G-STAR 2026 has announced its first ticket sales and a new special pass ahead of the gaming convention’s return to BEXCO in Busan from November 19 to 22.

The G-STAR Organizing Committee has partnered with KREAM to introduce a Special Pass combining a BTC admission ticket with a Yumi’s Cells collaboration keyring, promotional card and KREAM voucher.

The pass will make its debut at a G-STAR pop-up store at Hyundai Department Store’s Pangyo branch from September 1 to 6. Visitors can purchase the package at an early-bird price of 20,000 won for adults and 10,000 won for youth, representing discounts of up to 33%.

The Special Pass will then go on sale exclusively through KREAM beginning September 7.

The Pangyo pop-up will also feature a Hyundai Motor sim racing esports experience, G-STAR and Yumi’s Cells merchandise and events offering prizes including Special Passes and invitations.

For visitors only interested in attending G-STAR, regular BTC ticket reservations open September 29 through the official G-STAR website. Adult tickets will cost 18,000 won and youth tickets 8,000 won.

This year’s event will operate entirely through advance reservations, with no regular onsite ticket sales planned.
