Architect Tier (Tier 5) is Raffle-Exclusive
But this year, our most coveted top tier - Architect - will be raffle-exclusive. That means this is not an Event Pass that you’d be able to secure through Community, but you’ll only be able to get through a raffle.
If are interested to register for the Tier 5 (Architect) raffle, you must submit your IWAG 2026 Event Pass number of any tier on a separate raffle application form by yourself.
Why A Raffle? How do I join?
Our highest tier passes are historically in high demand, and would be fully booked within actual seconds. We realize that this is unfair to those with slower internet connections or those with less technical prowess to ensure they are ready to pounce. Hence, since their numbers are extremely limited, we decided it would be fairest to everyone to have a completely randomized raffle that shall be livestreamed for all to see and witness.
And how would you join this raffle? Make sure you have obtained an Event Pass for IWAG 2026 of any tier. You’ll need the Event Pass number to register in a separate raffle form. This is completely optional and you should only apply if you are interested in upgrading to Tier 5.
You’ll be able to register for our Architect tier raffle once you have secured an Event Pass of any tier. We’ll validate your entry based on the Event Pass at your possession. A link to the raffle form will be made available through our social media and website.
The raffle registration opens 4 January 2026 at 19:00 Western Indonesia Time (12:00 UTC, 20:00 SG/KL Time, 04:00 PST, 07:00 EST) and closes 7 January 2026, same time.
The raffle draw will be held live on 10 January 2026 at 19:00 UTC+7 (12:00 UTC, 20:00 SG/KL Time, 04:00 PST, 07:00 EST) on a livestream.
How will the raffle be held? If I win, how do I pay? How do I know the raffle will be fair?
You must already secure an IWAG 2026 Event Pass to participate in the raffle. All Event Pass tiers are eligible to enter the Architect tier raffle. A separate Form will be used to collect the information.
We will collect the Event Pass number of any tier in that form, so make sure you have secured one before you attempt filling the form.
The Architect raffle tier will be done in a completely analog manner, and will be livestreamed for everyone to watch and attest.
The raffle will work like this:
- The IWAG team will print out all the entrants’ Event Pass numbers and cut it to individual boxes
- All the numbers will be shown on-camera live before they are rolled and folded into individual tokens
- The tokens will be thrown into a container filled with styrofoam balls
- The container will be hand-tossed to randomize the numbers and contents.
- After mixing, a number will be pulled out of the container by random, and will be read out loud and shown to the camera.
- This will be done until we get 10 Event Pass numbers, the quota for our Tier 5 passes.
- Afterwards, the team will pull 10 more Event Pass numbers randomly to populate our stand-by queue. These standby Event Pass numbers will be given a chance to secure their Tier 5 upgrade should anyone fail to pay their contribution fee.
- Raffle winners will be emailed a payment link that will be the difference between the price of their current Event Pass to the Tier 5 Event Pass.
- Payment can be done with credit and debit cards, QRIS, bank account transfer, virtual account, and cross-border QR (for SG, MY and TH attendees.)
Tier 5 raffle winners will have 24 hours from the time an email from our payment processing gateway arrives on the same address they use to sign up for Community.
If they fail to pay their contribution fee through this link, their raffle entry will be voided, and a member from the standby queue will now have a chance to attain their upgrade. This continues until 10 upgrades have been paid for, or if the standby queue is exhausted.
If the standby queue is exhausted, the IWAG team will pull 10 more standby raffle entries on a livestream and the process repeats until all 10 slots are secured.
All raffle livestreams will be saved as video on demand for later examination for auditing and transparency purposes.
Hotel Room Bookings for Tiers 4-5
After all Architect tier pass upgrades are paid for, we will email the first wave of hotel room bookings to Architect tier attendees. Then, Overseer attendees will get theirs within 24 hours. This means both tiers can leverage early access to hotel bookings - albeit in a first-come, first-serve basis among other Architect and Overseer attendees respectively.
