From September 25 to October 5, 2025, the WTT China Smash will take place at Shougang Ice Hockey Arena in Shijingshan. The WTT Youth events will also be held at the same venue and during the same period, marking the first time China hosts such events.
Tickets will be released in phases. The sales of the first batch will start at 10:00 (UTC+8) on September 5; details on the second batch will be announced via Damai (www.damai.cn). Fans can purchase tickets after completing real-name verification via Damai's App or WeChat mini-program. Overseas spectators can buy through Cityline (Hong Kong) (website or App).
The WTT Youth events will open for free for spectators, with the reservation channel scheduled to open at 10:00 on September 25 (UTC+8) via the "Ping Pong Together" (一起乒乒乓乓) mini-program.
To enhance the watching experience, organizers have announced three upgrades:
1. Four-sided court: Previously three-sided, the court can now accommodate 10-percent more spectators.
2. Single-day passes: These will enable fans to watch multiple matches in succession.
3. Expanded ticket-holder benefits: Re-entries will be permitted through identity verification, making it easier for spectators who need to have meals or rest outside the venue. There will be also free access to the Smash Park and on-site activities in Shougang Park. In addition, exclusive discounts are offered to those with ticket stubs across major commercial districts in Shijingshan and designated shopping areas citywide.
Through the "Ping Pong Together" mini-program, spectators can access the schedule, the venue's map, service guides, and ticketing info. The forthcoming "Smart Tour Shijingshan AI Assistant" (智游石景山AI助手) will offer multilingual, multimodal Q&A services, aimed at creating novel experiences combining game-watching and tourism.
Shijingshan District, in partnership with tourism authorities, will launch a campaign titled "Travel with the WTT Smash" (跟着WTT大满贯去旅行), which will feature curated sports-tourism routes and special perks. Highlights include Beijing's first regional cultural-tourism annual pass (Autumn and Winter Edition) covering over 110 scenic areas, educational programs, and consumption benefits. WTT ticket holders will receive exclusive discounts at more than 60 hotels and over 10 cultural attractions, and buy nearly 100 "Shijingshan Gifts" at discounted prices.
Online platforms will issue dining and accommodation vouchers worth 3 million yuan. Parallel events include the 2025 China International Candy Festival, the Moshikou Camel Bell Music Carnival, and the Shijingshan Amusement Park's Jingcai Lantern Show. The district will also release five themed routes and a "Shijingshan Cultural Tourism Scratch Map" highlighting food, craft beer, and cultural-tech attractions.
