Why Purchase Your Burger Cup Ticket in Advance?
Haven't bagged your tickets to this weekend's Burger Cup at Galaxy Soho (May 20-21, 11am-8pm) yet? Well, what are you waiting for? Here are four reasons why it's downright essential you grab your RMB 25 tickets in advance.
1. SKIP THE LINE
Do you like standing in queues for hours in the hot midday sun? Of course you don't because that would just mean wasting time when you could be eating burgers and drinking beer. If you've purchased your Burger Cup tickets in advance, you'll get to skip the line and start the day with a strong sense of superiority as you cruise through with priority entry. At the 2015 Pizza Cup, which was also held at Galaxy Soho, the wait to get in at peak times was nearly 90 minutes. Just FYI.
2. GUARANTEED ENTRY
Like any Beijing event, we've got to keep an eye on the crowd numbers so if you don't buy your ticket in advance, you may find that all the tickets have sold out before you've even got to the front of the queue.
3. FREE STUFF
There's no such thing as something for nothing, am I right? Actually, I'm wrong because if you buy your Burger Cup ticket in advance you'll get a free gift that will help you fit in with this year's Wild West dress code. (Note: only available while stock lasts.)
4. GROUP BUY DISCOUNTS
Buy five tickets for the price of four when you buy in a group (that's RMB 100 instead of RMB 125). Group purchases or five tickets will also get you a free burger-themed picnic – neat!
If you haven't got your hands on your tickets for the 2017 Burger Cup yet, they can be purchased via the QR codes below (the payment site is available in both English and Chinese):

Galaxy Soho, the venue for this year's Burger Cup
This year, the burger action is moving out of 798's Universal Creative Park and heading over to Galaxy Soho, Zaha Hadid's swooping sci-fi style structure in Chaoyangmen. Located just a stone's throw away from Chaoyangmen subway station on Lines 2 and 6 (it's
pretty hard to miss), Galaxy Soho is a breeze to get to whether you're
coming from the north, south, east or west. We'll have a blog with more
details on how to get there nearer the time. For now, grab your tickets
and sleep safe in the knowledge that you'll soon have access to the
city's best burgers, all in one place.
