Sony is once again bringing the PlayStation E3 Experience to theaters across North America.
This year, the free event will take place on June 15 at 6pm PT / 9pm ET in theaters "in every state across the US — including Hawaii and Alaska — plus 3 cities in Canada."
This is the second time Sony has brought their E3 conference to the big screen. Last year over 10,000 people signed up for the free event, tickets selling out in most places in 15 minutes or less. Last year, attendees bagged early access to the Destiny Alpha and Battlefield: Hardline beta, a poster and commemorative laminate.
"You and fellow members of the PlayStation community will get to see the full PlayStation E3 press conference in HD on the big screen, plus there are special bonuses for those who come out to the theater experience," writes host Geoff Keighley in a post on today's PlayStation blog. "I’ll be hosting an exclusive 30-minute in-theater post show with extended footage and interviews with developers, and everyone who attends will take home a PlayStation surprise, which will consist of PlayStation goods and digital codes we can’t disclose yet."
"To make it fair to everyone in the community, this year we are giving you advance notice of ticket sales. Eighty percent of theater capacity will be reserved for ticket holders, with 20 percent of the theater held for those on the wait list, who will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. We saw the big lines last year and want to make sure that everyone has a fair chance to be in the theater."
Venues have yet to be confirmed, but the free tickets are available from 9am PT on May 27 at playstation.com/e3experience. Entrants must be 17 years of age or older to attend this event and a valid form of ID proving age will be required.
