I would advise everyone ahead of me in line to leave. It's not worth it. Just go to PAX. It's so much better. And I hear Seattle is lovely.

 

[SoldierOfLight]

Sitting here hoping 500 people lost their place so I can get early bird special. Otherwise I'll sit this one out

 

[Zephyrettes]

Damn, I F5'd like crazy and still only managed to get in at 5580 -.- I really wanted that early bird.

Congrats to anyone who managed to get in sooner!

PAX west is basically E3 anyway, all their booths, games and promo stuff are recycled there, its pretty cool tbh

PAX is definitely better than E3 no question. But Seattle is more expensive to travel to for me and I moved away from Boston years ago.

EDIT: Updated to 166 ahead. Crossing fingers...

 

[beelulzebub]

lol. Got through and only attendee and media are options. In the middle is "COMING SOON!" which I'd imagine is for general admission.

Got another machine that's 6200 in line, so hopefully they're actually available by then.

Edit:

This is the luckiest I've ever felt. Got that $150 pass!

(Although I'll probably get an industry pass later, but better safe than sorry)

Congrats! I wonder why that option didn't show up for me though. Maybe because I already tried getting tickets on the same phone before they were available?

But it's PAX Dev, isn't that different? Otherwise I'd go there.

Update, I'm at 700 in line from 1511 with 4 minute wait

 

[TrojanAg]

Have 2K ahead of me. I doubt I'll get the early bird but still thinking about getting the $250 pass anyway since I'm already in LA.

[EekumBokum]

If I got the $150 ticket, this would've been an easy yes. Talking with a friend right now, and I don't think $250 is gonna work for us, quarter of a thousand dollars is insane to just play some games early.

 

[ChrisD]

It's been a dream of mine to go to E3 since I was like ten. Now I actually could, but due to the cost of travel, a place to stay, and anything else that may be needed, it's not possible.

In other words, I hope they do this for at least another year! Will be saving up just in case! Really cool that it's open even for this one, and I wish for a successful show.

I tried signing up as an attendee, but I needed a code to proceed. I'm not media, so that option was no good too. Oh well. I should still be good for the $250 pass.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Got the early bird pass!

Have to hand it to them for making it a very seamless experience.

Did you tried NONE as code?

 

[SparksterMeta0]

https://www.e3expo.com/attendee/2902/attendee-registration-policies/

3 days for one pass... Tempting.
But for $250... I don't know...

 

[beelulzebub]

Did you tried NONE as code?

Ah! It says it right there to enter NONE if you don't have a code. I totally missed that. Thank you so much!!

I need to know...can you get 2 tickets at once, or no?

 

[poppedamolly]

FYI you can bypass the queue with the link someone posted back. Make sure you choose attendee and type in none when it ask for a key code.

[Captain Zyrain]

Weird, I still got in for $149?

Not really. After completing registration I was sent to the queue.

 

[Magnet_Man]

EARLY BIRD ACQUIRED!!

Not sure if I have the energy for three days but I've always wanted to see this just once.

 

[krae_man]

Still 10,000 people in line.

 

[BasilZero]

Oh nice. Too bad don't have the time to go ;(

I'm close enough that I don't want to risk it.

 

[SoldierOfLight]

NO WAY! I WAS 1511 in line at first and managed to get the pass for $150 .

E3 here I come.
I was hoping 500 people were just trying to flood the queue or change their mind.

 

[Raw64life]

Got my early bird pass. Was 568 in line. Very surprised I got it given how dreadful my luck is with getting tickets.

Will be my first E3 ever. Very excited. I'm prepared to stand in line as long as it takes to play Super Mario Odyssey.

 

[TrojanAg]

Where were you in the queue when you started?

 

[PersonAndStuff]

I know you're right but my childhood says that E3 is a magical place where all my dreams will come true.

 

[mishakoz]

I don't think so. I may have missed it because I wasn't looking for it, but I was never asked how many passes I want or to fill out info for another pass

 

[Magnet_Man]

I think the queue also includes media and possibly industry people. I had 1288 people ahead of me when I started and still got the early bird.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Where were you in the queue when you started?

It said like, 13,000 people ahead of me.

I forgot this was today, and didn't click E3.com until like 9:20am (Pacific).

 

[poppedamolly]

Early bird is sold out

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Early bird is sold out

Yeah seems like it.. my buddy had to pay $250.

Wonder what was up with the queue.. it must have included other people as well. Probably all the actual professionals getting their badges.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Got my early bird pass while taking a quiz in one of my classes.

Not sure how to feel right now

 

[Cloud7]

Ugh...I ain't going to this without my girlfriend. I'm 3126 in line right now on my computer for myself and I'm 7750 in line right now for her on my cell phone. Is it a risky proposition at this point for me?

I imagine tickets in general should be OK, $250.

You need to register for both people though I don't think it'll let you do both in one sitting/session.

I just meant from a "selling out" perspective. If I get mine but the queue sells out before we get to hers, I'm going to be upset lol

 

[TrojanAg]

Wasn't able to get an early bird ticket but I went ahead and got the $250 one anyway. I'm glad to be able to go to E3 for once in my life.

Like you should ace that quiz.

You should be good as long as you're in line.

A friend of mine tried too late and it says sold out straight off the bat according to him.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Yeah, I don't imagine E3 would be much fun alone! Good luck! If they did limit the early bird to 1000, I imagine the other 14,000 tickets should take a while to sell.

Good for you! It is fun, don't expect the world, just go and have a good time geeking out that you're at E3. I've done that for all the ones I've attended (6 or 7?) and I've never left unhappy.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Like you should ace that quiz.

I got a 100 on it lol I was keeping my queue in a background window so when he passed by I would just minimize it

 

[Zephyrettes]

I'm hoping that bypass link wasn't an exploit that will backfire in the end :/ the $149 is already pending

 

[FTF]

So can someone who's bought a ticket confirm if you're able to get more than one? Trying to buy for myself and a friend.

You cannot, youd have to queue twice.

Ughhhhhh

Thanks :/
