Where’re those sounds coming from? Why are there bright lights and cheerful music? And why are happy tankers passing by with gifts in their hands? Your neighbor from a nearby garage even had to use a tractor to transport his gift—ten meters long at least!
That’s it! Blitz Fair is back! Instead of the familiar Garage there’s sparkling snow, gifts under branched fir trees, beautiful winter houses, polar lights, and a lot of fun!

In-Game Tasks

Blitz Fair on the Portal
In-game tasks are only the beginning! Upon tapping the Fair on Portal button, you will see chests full of rewards and an auction with rare Premium vehicles.
You will needTickets to open chests and purchase vehicles at the auction. You can earn Tickets as follows:
- Complete event tasks in the game client. You will receive Tickets for each completed stage.
- Open bonus containers in the game. Tickets drop from containers with a 100% chance. The larger the container, the more Tickets it drops!
- Exchange gold into Tickets. Rate: 1 Ticket for 50.
- Exchange Free Experience into Tickets. Rate: 1 Ticket for 2500.
Auction on the Portal (and that’s still not all!)
Blitz Fair takes place once a year, and an opportunity to receive some Premium vehicles occurs even less often.
At the auction you will see collection vehicles, which were previously only available once or twice. Prices at the auction are decreasing, but so is the number of vehicles. Don’t miss this opportunity to enrich your collection with rare vehicles!
On the first auction day, two lots will be put up, while the rest of the vehicles will be covered with canvas. You will know a little later which vehicles are there—do not forget to regularly check out the Fair page!
Lot No.1—the stern VIII IS-3 Defender
This Premium heavy tank boasts all the advantages of the classic IS-3 and is complemented by a gun with a three-shell autoloader. The black color and exclusive animation make this vehicle special.
Lot No.2—a Goose Tales hero, the hardcore VIII M6A2E1 EXP
Protected by almost 200 mm of sloped armor and carrying a gun that pierces even Tier Xs, the M6A2E1 EXP will not only become the gem of your collection, but also a weighty argument on the battlefield.
Chests (and there’s even more to come!)
If saving up for auction lots is not for you, open Blitz Fair chests. They are so filled with valuable content that we had to jump on their lids to close them! There are two types available:
The standard chest, which costs 4 Tickets
- Supergame tokens
- VIII AMX Chasseur de chars
- VIII KV-5
- VIII IS-2Sh

Supergame
When you open a chest, the Supergame bar’s progress increases. When the bar fills up, you will be able to press the button and draw one of the major prizes. Three new tanks are among them!
X M60
A Tier X medium tank, the brother of the M48 Patton. Boasts perfect terrain crossing capacity and awesome stabilization of the gun. You’ll need the greatest luck at Blitz Fair to receive this tank. Maybe this time luck will be on your side!
VIII Chieftain/T95
A heavy tank with a very solid, bouncy turret and a fast-firing gun. It has the maneuverability of the IS-3, the armament of medium tanks, and the durable turret and depression angles of US heavy tanks.
VI Type 64
A cabriolet among tanks! It has no roof and almost no armor, but features a top speed of 72 km/h! This new Chinese scout will become a worthy competitor to other Tier VI light tanks, and Premium tank bonuses will make the game even more enjoyable.
In addition to these three novelties, the Supergame offers many other rewards:
- Progress Points for Tanks
- 30 Tickets
- 20 000–50 000 Spare Parts
- 2500 Gold
Progress Points for Tanks (and that’s not the end yet!)
Progress points for Premium vehicles are an additional reward that always drops from a legendary chest and may drop during the Supergame. Collect the required amount of progress points for a specific vehicle and it will appear in your Garage!
Legendary chests may contain progress points for the following vehicles:
During the Supergame, players may receive progress points for the following vehicles:
You may need a different amount of progress points depending on the tank.
There is an opportunity to receive twice the amount of progress points for a particular tank from a chest. Tap the Bet button near the progress indicator. The price of the chest will increase by 2 Tickets, but if the progress points that drop from the chest fit the tank that you have selected, the number of points will be doubled! If not, you will receive more points toward the Supergame.
If you have accumulated progress points for tanks that you don’t need, you can exchange them for Tickets: 2 Tickets for every 500 progress points. During this exchange operation, all progress points for one tank are used. You are not allowed to exchange only some of your progress points for one tank into Tickets.
Pick up your gift! (Seems that’s all for now, but who knows.)
No one will remain without a New Year gift! Join a battle from 22 December to 18 January and receive the II Light Mk. VIC with a slot in your Garage!
Now you know everything and Blitz Fair is about to begin! The entrance gate is open and a white-bearded tanker with ruddy cheeks shares the festive mood with everyone passing by. Have a good time during the winter holidays with Blitz Fair!
FAQ
- Will I be able to immediately buy anything on the portal using Tickets received in the game? Sure! But it may take a few seconds to sync Tickets and other items. To go to the Fair on the portal, open the Blitz Fair screen in the game and tap “Fair on Portal”. You can also use a direct link, but you will have to log in using your Wargaming.net ID.
- I entered the Fair page on the portal, but the displayed amount of gold, Free Experience, and Tickets is wrong. What should I do? It is likely that the information displayed is taken from other games of the Wargaming universe. Tap “Exit” in the upper right corner and log in again using your World of Tanks Blitz account.
- Do reward vehicles come with Garage slots? Yes, you will receive tanks with a Garage slot and 100% trained crew.
- What if I drew a tank that I already have?
- If you already had this tank in your Garage before the beginning of Blitz Fair, you will receive compensation in credits at the following rate: 1 gold = 400 credits. For example, if you already have the Type 59 and it drops from a chest, you will receive 4,000,000 credits and a Garage slot instead of a tank.
- If you drew the same tank twice during the Fair, you will get compensation in Tickets. A Garage slot is not provided in such a case.
- I see many tanks that were previously sold with legendary camouflages. Will Fair vehicles come with camouflage?
All vehicles drawn during Blitz Fair come without camouflage. But it is very likely that an opportunity to receive legendary camouflage will appear in future. - What will happen with Flags, Tickets, and progress points remaining after the end of the Fair?
- Flags will be automatically deleted without compensation.
- Progress points will also be removed without compensation. But until the end of Blitz Fair on 19 January (18 January for the NA region), you will have an opportunity to exchange progress points for Tickets and open several more chests.
- Tickets will be automatically converted into credits: 1 Ticket = 5,000 credits. We recommend that you not keep unused Tickets, but spend them on chests—it’s much more profitable.
