General #XboxFanFest tickets are GONE! Sold out (or whatever)!
There are still ways to get in..
#1. There is a Halo 5 tournament at a couple of Southern California Microsoft stores this weekend (Friday/Saturday). If you win, you're in (plus a friend I think). They also may be giving away passes as random raffle prizes at the same time.
#2. There is a Microsoft Rewards promo going on, where you can use Bingpoints or whatever to enter a drawing for an all expense paid trip for 2 (oooo!).
#3. CANADA (of all places) is having a #SuperCanadianXboxFan contest or something. Same as above, expenses paid trip to the Fanfest and E3.
#4. ??? I'm sure there will be more ways but we don't know yet. Follow #XboxFanFest on Twitter for more info.. and lots of people begging to get in.
That being said.. here is what #XboxFanFest attendees get to look forward to..
Should be interesting.. I have no idea what the Sunday evening thing will be? Guess I won't try and go to the Bethesda thing this year.
I suppose the Monday evening thing will be during the Playstation conference (LOL). Hands-on with Scorpio sounds like fun though.
Swag bag! I need a 4th Xbox backpack (three straps this time?!)!

Would be fun to meet up with some fellow Gaffers if anyone else is planning to go.

Here's how it'll work: 400 of the 500 tickets will be available first-come, first-serve starting this Wednesday, April 19. Tickets will be released in drops throughout the day, with the first drop starting at 6 AM PT. Stay glued to #XboxFanFest and @Xbox on Twitter for when those drops occur! Please note that you will need to have a credit card to hold the ticket. There is no charge to reserve a ticket but cancelation fees will apply. The remaining 100 tickets will be distributed through a variety of other promotions/giveaways. Follow #XboxFanFest on Twitter for when some of those promotions start. Be sure to hit the official Xbox FanFest: E3 2017 page for complete details and an FAQ.
We're also excited to share information on more of what you'll receive if you're one of those 500 lucky fans.

UPDATE 2: We are happy to announce a new date and time for Xbox FanFest: E3 2017 ticket online registration. To ensure all fans have enough time to plan for this moment, we're scheduling it next week on Wednesday, April 26th at 9am PT. To streamline our approach after yesterday's error, all 400 tickets will be available, all at once, starting at 9am PT. Tickets remain first-come, first-serve, one ticket per-person. Additionally, all requirements (21+ years old, credit card required to hold) remain exactly the same. Stay glued to @Xbox, @MajorNelson and #XboxFanFest on Twitter for when the link to the registration site becomes available on Wednesday, April 26th at 9am PT.
UPDATE: Fan enthusiasm overwhelmed our Xbox FanFest: E3 2017 registration website today, and unfortunately resulted in an error – causing the system to accept more registrants than we had tickets for the event in total. We determined voiding this morning's registrations and starting over would help make things as fair as possible for all fans. So, if you were one of the fans who successfully registered this morning, you'll need to re-register, and Xbox is emailing something special to you for the inconvenience. Stay tuned for more. Keep an eye on my twitter account and Chris@XboxFanFest (@moneyrumble), and we'll tweet info on when we'll restart ticketing.
