Magic: The Gathering - The Hobbit - Prerelease Event Ticket (07/08/26)

The road goes ever on...

Join us for the Magic: The Gathering – The Hobbit Prerelease and be among the first to experience the newest journey through Middle-earth!

Whether you're setting out from the Shire for the very first time or you're a seasoned adventurer, Prerelease is the perfect way to discover a brand-new Magic set. Open your Prerelease Pack, build a 40-card deck, and battle fellow adventurers in a relaxed and friendly Sealed event.

No previous Prerelease experience is needed—we'll be on hand to help with deck building and answer any questions throughout the event. Whether you're a lifelong Tolkien fan, an experienced Planeswalker, or completely new to Magic, everyone is welcome.

⚠️ Currently limited to 20 player spaces per event!

We're hoping to expand into the neighbouring unit before release, increasing capacity to 48 players per event. If everything is ready in time, additional tickets will be released—but we recommend booking early to avoid missing out.
