We do not allow attendees to take pictures or record videos for sale, so please do not put pictures or video of the event online to sell to competitors and attendees.

Ticket Information
- Where can I buy tickets from?
Online: You're in the right place. The official ticket source for World Dance Masters is on this website. Please click here for our Ticket Page.
- Can I change the name on my ticket and pass it to someone else?
Yes, you are welcome to change the name of the person listed on your ticket without approval from World Dance Masters. This process can be managed wholly by the original ticket purchaser.
You can see step-by-step instructions on how to do this here. World Dance Masters does not have the ability to change the names on tickets for you manually.
- Can I buy a ticket on the door?
We strongly recommend you buy tickets in advance to secure the best price and availability. Last year all of our social tickets sold out months before the event. If any tickets remain they will be subject to a higher on-the-door price tier.
You can see step-by-step instructions on how to do this here. World Dance Masters does not have the ability to change the names on tickets for you manually.
- Can I pay for my tickets without a PayPal account?
Yes! While our payment processing service is PayPal, you do not need a PayPal account in order to process your order. While PayPal will encourage you to sign up for an account, you can just click 'Pay with Debit or Credit Card' and not have to sign-up for PayPal.
- What is your refund policy?
Tickets are non-refundable unless the event is cancelled or postponed and you cannot make the new date. In these cases, the face value of the ticket will be refundable.
If you can no longer attend the event, you are welcome to sell your ticket to another dancer without informing World Dance Masters.
For Worlds 2021, we will be enhancing our refund policy to allow for the transfer of tickets to Worlds 2022 or a refund, less a small admin fee and the original booking fee. We will be opening the ability to apply for a refund or transfer in early May until the end of May. There will be a defined window to apply for this, so please keep an eye on wdm.dance, our Facebook Page, and your email.
- How do the ticket tiers work?
It's simple! Buy your tickets early and pay less. Ticket prices for the event increase over time.
- Do you offer group rates?
Yes. We offer generous discounts for groups of 15 or more dancers. Please email conor@worlddancemasters.com for more information.
- Can I buy a ticket as a gift?
Yes, that's a lovely idea. At the point of purchase, you are asked to enter the attendee names for each ticket holder so you may gift the tickets to a friend or family member.
- Do I need to buy a ticket for my child?
If your child is competing, then yes, all competitors require a pass (remember, if they are competing in Starter, Tiny Tots, or Rugrats, their pass is included in the competitor registration cost).
If your child is not competing, doesn’t dance, and is under the age of 12, then they are welcome to attend free of charge. Please select 'Non-Dancer Youth Pass' on the ticketing system. Please note this will be a spectator-only ticket, which means they will not be allowed in The Arena or Spanish Hall during the day.
- Do I need to print my ticket?
Your ticket is not 100% necessary, but it will save time on the day. You can print your ticket using the email you received from TicketLeap. The ticket contains a barcode that we can scan quickly and easily. If you are tech-savvy, you can add the ticket to your mobile device and we can scan it from there, too!
If you don’t have your ticket, we can look your name up manually in the system, but it will take slightly longer and will require identification to prove the ticket is yours.
If in doubt, print your ticket!
