Event “Ticket” Flash Sales

Tournaments, Camps & Instruction

The chess industry has few "flash" sales for tournaments, camps, or instruction because organizers prioritize “fairness simplicity.” However, just like other ticketing sectors, empty seats lead to lost revenue and increased costs. Many businesses successfully run flash sales to fill these empty spots, and companies like Trivago thrive by maximizing occupancy. The flash sale process is still fair, but the fairness is complex & based on the risk of whether circumstances will cause a flash sale.

Caveman Chess aims to be financially efficient and provide you with the best possible experiences. More participants generally lead to a better experience. Therefore, we may occasionally offer flash sales to increase participation.

Please note that a flash sale does not mean refunds for those already registered. By registering early, you secure your price and spot in the event. We can't predict if flash sales will occur, and refunding existing registrations would defeat their purpose. If you choose to wait for a sale to get a flash sale price, be aware that you might end up paying a higher price if no sale happens.

It’s not every day of the week you can chat with Grandmasters about chess over lunch…. Yury Shulman and Boris Avrukh at the Caveman Chess Camp 2025.
