Nintendo’s next console, the Nintendo Switch 2, was officially revealed just a few weeks ago. The company also announced that a series of in-person demo events would take place before the system launches later this year. Now, reports are surfacing about how hard it is to get tickets for these exclusive events.

According to VGC, Nintendo has started sending out invitations, requiring attendees to confirm their spots. The first events are scheduled for April 4th, starting in New York and Paris. After that, Nintendo will bring the hands-on experience to various locations across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Right now, tickets are extremely limited. Nintendo has stated on their official site that anyone without a ticket can join a waitlist on a first-come, first-served basis. They also made it clear that tickets are non-transferable and can only be used once.

Despite this, some people have already started selling these tickets online for ridiculous prices. VGC reports that some listings on eBay have reached $1000 USD for the New York event. Although some of these have been taken down, tickets for cities like London, Madrid, and Italy are still being sold.

We won’t have to wait long for more details. Nintendo has scheduled a special Direct presentation for April 2nd, where they will share additional information. So far, we know the Switch 2 will have a bigger screen and magnetically attached Joy-Con controllers.

Mark is the kind of person who gets way too excited about new software updates and can’t resist taking apart gadgets—just to see if they can put them back together. With years of experience in tech journalism and a love for all things digital, Mark writes about the stories behind the screens, from game-changing innovations to the everyday tech that keeps life running smoothly. Outside of work, they’re the go-to “tech support” for friends and family, whether it’s fixing a printer that won’t cooperate or explaining why Grandma’s laptop keeps showing pop-ups. When Mark isn’t glued to their screen, they’re probably building their dream PC, rewatching sci-fi movies for the hundredth time, or testing a gadget that promises to “change everything.” Spoiler: they’ll let you know if it actually does.
