Buying/Selling Tickets
If you are looking to buy/sell a ticket, please check the pinned Ticket Megathread. Good luck and we hope you manage to get / get rid of your ticket there 😊
What to post in r/hyrox
What fits the room, and what gets removed.
Works well
- A race report describing how your first HYROX went and what you would do differently
- A training question asking how others structure their weeks before a race
- A discussion post about a specific station or workout and how you approach it
- A gear or preparation question framed as your own honest dilemma, not a recommendation
- A genuine question about pacing or strategy for a first time competitor
- A ticket request or offer placed inside the pinned Ticket Megathread, never as its own post
Avoid
- Posting a standalone thread to buy or sell a race ticket
- Ignoring the pinned Ticket Megathread and starting your own ticket thread
- Treating the subreddit as a marketplace for anything, since ticket trading is already restricted to the megathread
- Assuming promotion is welcome, because the policy brief states promotion is banned
- Dropping links to your product with no connection to the community's topic
- Reposting your ticket request over and over instead of keeping it in the megathread

What r/hyrox Is For
This community is for redditors who want to discuss all things HYROX. That is the whole description, so the room is built around the sport itself, the training, the races, and the experience of competing. The people posting here are HYROX athletes and people interested in the event, from first timers to seasoned racers. The one published rule, “Buying/Selling Tickets”, points all ticket trading to a pinned Ticket Megathread, which tells you the community keeps the main feed focused on discussion rather than transactions.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
There is only one published rule here and it is “Buying/Selling Tickets”. It says that if you are looking to buy or sell a ticket, you must check the pinned Ticket Megathread instead of posting about it. For anyone doing marketing adjacent work, this matters in two ways. First, never make a standalone ticket post, because that is the one thing the rules explicitly cover. Second, the policy brief states that promotion is banned, so a post that exists to push a product is not safe here either. The rules do not say anything about links or AI content, so treat those as unknown and be conservative with both.
What To Post
A good post here is genuine HYROX discussion. Share a training question, a race report, a question about preparation, or something you learned while getting ready for an event. If you are a founder, the respectful move is to join as a participant first. Talk about your own training or your own race experience, answer other people's questions, and only mention what you build if it comes up naturally and helps someone. Keep any ticket related need inside the pinned Ticket Megathread and never in its own post.
What To Avoid
The clear tripwire is the “Buying/Selling Tickets” rule. Do not make a separate post to buy or sell a ticket, because the moderators have given that job to the pinned Ticket Megathread and a standalone post goes against it. Beyond that, the policy brief says promotion is banned, so avoid posts that read as advertising, link drops, or product pitches. If you are unsure whether something counts as promotion, assume it does and keep it out.
A note from Anthony
This is one of the simplest rule sets I have seen, one rule, and it is all about tickets. That tells me the moderators care about keeping the feed clean for actual training and race talk. My honest read is that if you show up with real HYROX experience and zero selling, you will fit right in.
