TBA5 London

Saturday 10 October 2026 - morning until night

Amateurs and pros climb on the same blocs, in the same space, under the same pressure, creating an atmosphere built on performance, community and full‑scale immersion.

Categories

Pro

The Pro category is for teams wishing to compete at a professional level. If anyone on your team has ever worn GB team kit or England regional kit, you must enter Pro. All other teams may choose to enter Pro if they wish to compete at that level.

Amateur

Open to all other climbers who want to experience the TBA format. Both categories are available in Male and Female team formats.

Format

Teams of two, non‑mixed. A shared score.

Qualification Round The qualifiers run in a knock‑out format. Every four minutes, a new boulder is released. Your team must complete the boulder within those four minutes. If you fail to complete it in time, you’re out of the competition. Teams who progress the furthest through the qualification blocs earn their place in the evening finals.

Finals The first boulder of the finals is eliminatory, if you don’t flash it, you’re out immediately, so choose who attempts it wisely. After that, the format returns to four‑minute blocs, where each boulder must be completed within the time limit to stay in the running.

What to Expect

• A welcome goodie bag

• DJ sets and an immersive atmosphere

• Food and drinks available on site

• A partner village with gear testing and brand activations

• Masterclasses available to book separately on Sunday 11 October

• Some of the world’s best climbers only metres away

TBA5 Ticket Releases

Each competitor ticket is valid for one team of two competitors. All pricing and releases apply per team, not per individual.

Tickets are released in three waves:

• Drop 1 - Early Bird Best Price: 2 June, 6pm

• Drop 2 - Member‑Only Early Bird Second Release: Date to be confirmed

• Drop 3 - Final Release Full Price: Date to be confirmed

Pricing Structure

Each release contains three price points, based on your team’s membership status with us:

• Member Rate: Both competitors are members. Membership includes:

  • Pre‑paid membership

  • Off‑peak membership

  • EFT monthly membership

• Mixed Team Rate: One competitor is a member, and the other is not.

• Non‑Member Rate: Neither competitor holds a membership with us.

Spectator tickets for finals, as well as masterclass bookings, will be available separately.

Ticket Conditions

Each competitor ticket admits one team of two. All pricing tiers apply per team, not per individual.

Early Bird pricing is limited and available only while the allocated quota remains.

If your team does not qualify for the finals, access to spectate the finals is included with any TBA5 Participant Ticket (Early Bird, Second Release or Final Release).

Spectator access to the finals requires a booking, unless you competed as a participant and therefore hold a TBA5 Competitor Ticket.

Spectator tickets on Saturday, and tickets for the masterclasses on Sunday 11 October, must be booked separately.

Age Requirement

All competitors must be 16+ on the day of the event.

Exception for Pro teams: Competitors aged 14+ may enter only if they have previously worn GB team kit or England regional kit, and they are entering the Pro category.

There is no minimum age for spectators, but under‑14s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

By purchasing a competitor ticket, you confirm that all members of your team meet the minimum age requirement.
