Trade Up to a Once in a Lifetime Experience
Manchester City vs Arsenal. The Etihad. 19 April 2026. This April, leveling up your VIP tier doesn't just unlock lower fees and better Card cashback, it may get you a seat at one of the biggest matches in European football and an unforgettable training session with the Man City coaches and selected first team players.
OKX is inviting a select group of our top European traders to Manchester for a weekend unlike anything we've offered before. There are 16 guest places. This post tells you exactly what's included, what you need to do to be considered, and what happens next.
What's included
Sunday 19 April; Match day You'll arrive in Manchester and check in to your hotel. That evening: Manchester City vs Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. Depending on your VIP tier, you'll be in the OKX Box or General Admission, both offer an unforgettable experience.
Monday 20 April; Behind the scenes An exclusive training session with the Man City coaching staff and selected first team players at the Man City training ground. This is not a stadium tour. This is access to the facilities and the people behind one of the most successful clubs in world football, something that simply isn't available elsewhere. That evening, OKX will host the full group at a private dinner in Manchester. No agenda. No presentations. Just a relaxed evening with a small group of peers and the OKX team.
Tuesday 21 April; Departure Check out and head home.
Everything covered by OKX: Return flights from your city, 2 nights hotel in Manchester, all activities and the dinner.
One place per person. No plus-ones. This is designed as a curated network of OKX's European VIPs.
How to qualify
Participation is simple:
Reach VIP 1 or your next VIP tier by 12 April.
Let your account manager know you're interested. You can reach them via Instant Message in the OKX app; tap the message icon in the top right of the screen. As a VIP, you'll see this chat pinned to the top.
The window opens 27 March and closes 12 April at 23:59 CET. This experience is exclusively for OKX users in the EEA. If you're already close, now is the time.
What are the VIP tiers?
To become a VIP, you simply need to hit either the Assets Under Management threshold or the trading volume threshold, not both. Once you cross it, you're automatically upgraded. No forms, no applications, no waiting.
To see how close you are, open the OKX app, tap the menu in the top left, then tap the VIP card and scroll down.
You'll see exactly how far you are from the next tier.
What else you unlock
The match and training session is the headline. But hitting your next VIP tier has real financial value that lasts well beyond April.
At VIP 1, spot maker fees drop from 0.20% to 0.10% and taker fees from 0.35% to 0.20%. At €100K monthly volume, that's a meaningful saving every single month. At VIP 2 and above, fees continue to step down, OKX card cashback increases to 4.5%, letting you earn extra for spending like you normally do.
The tier you hit during this window stays with you. The experience is the bonus.
What happens next
Keep trading or consolidate your assets. If you're close to a threshold, adding assets from another platform or increasing your trading volume is all it takes.
We track your progress automatically. Your AUM and 30-day volume are calculated daily. You don't need to apply. If you cross a threshold between 27 March and 12 April, you're in with a chance.
Let your relationship manager know you're interested. Once you've hit your next VIP tier, drop your relationship manager a message via the IM feature in the OKX App to confirm you'd like to be considered. They'll take it from there.
We confirm the guest list on 14 April. All qualifying users are reviewed on 12 April and the final list is confirmed by 14 April. Your relationship manager will reach out personally by 15 April to confirm your place and sort the details.
We handle everything from there. Flights, hotel, transfers, itinerary; all covered. All you need to do is show up.
