Got another email with more info today.. nice to get some dates and times so I can plan my time off work.
Saw this a little while ago. Sunday is packed. I kinda wish there was more to do on Monday because I'm leaving Tuesday.

After the Xbox Briefing on Sunday, we will take fans to a first-of-its-kind Community event with plenty of fun, food, beverages and activities. This will go from 4:00pm 8:00pm PT. There will be plenty of surprises throughout the night!
On Monday, fans will have the whole day free until 7:30pm PT in the evening, when we will then ask you to arrive and lineup at a secret location for Early Access to our hottest games. Many more details on that while at FanFest.
Yeah I saw that. Depending on what's going down at it I might just skip it. Me and the girlfriend are getting into the Microsoft press conference but I don't want to just leave her alone after that haha so we will probably head towards Bethesda's thing right after.Sounds like there will be some time conflicts for the Sunday event if you also intend to go to the Bethesda Press Conference. They close their gates at 8 PM. Would most likely need to leave the Fanfest event a little early to make it.

Did they set up a ticket giveaway for Bethesda's presser this year? I don't remember seeing it. Or is it first come first serve?
The last couple of years had people leaving the fanfest events early without an issue. Last year was a Forza thing, which was neat, but we saw the whole museum in an hour and were ready to go back, so they got the buses to start shuttling people earlier than planned. We couldn't stay for the movie last year either, so we left.
Unless they're flying us out to a remote location or something, it shouldn't be too big of a deal to make it to the other conference. Could be a good thing to ask though if they're planning to provide transportation or not.
Well that's good. I registered for the Bethesda thing as well. Wonder if they'll be close to each other?
A little over a month to go.. the waiting is getting rough!
It would be nice if they let us into their E3 space off-hours to play the games without the lines, though I imagine it could be an issue with the other vendors. Last year, as the show room floor was closing, they were bringing in CART LOADS of alcohol and mixers.. so they were doing something after hours that us peons were not privy to..
The location on the invite says Los Angeles Center Studios. I don't know if that is supposed to be a secret or what, but I imagine a bunch of fans will be able to get in or at least I hope so I want some friends to come in. That place is huge and it also makes me think they are actually doing a carnival/Bethesdaland because I've been to similar events at the place.
LOL I've been to those things they do it every year. The way they say it is they are the only ones "allowed" to host things after hours in the center. I don't know about that, but to be fair I've never been invited to anything else on the premise after hours. It's basically their E3 floor with no lines and all the the devs drunk. So the other year when they had that crazy Halo Hololens that took 8 hours in line to do I was able to walk right in so worth it. Waiting in an 8 hour line would have been worth it.
lol probably gave away most of those to people who claimed "the website messed up" on them.Edit: https://twitter.com/moneyrumble/status/862389132961513472
Looks like those 100 tickets are now gone/claimed/allocated.
Last gasp/chance will be for last minute cancels I suppose.
Same. Any luck on the Bethesda event? Heard emails went out already on Twitter. Hoping for another wave of them tomorrow.Edit: 05/24/17 - Got my E3 pass, it is a code, that is not apparently linked to your email or name.

I got the free code. Am I able to sell it? I already purchased a pass before I knew about the fanfest.
Nice. When did you get the email with your ticket?Good to go on my end.

Me and my girlfriend got our emails today. We're looking to sell these since we already have our own public passes from back when they were first on sale.
They just randomly gave a few more away and people are salty again.
Yeah, not expecting to be able to sell mine easily. I posted in the B/S/T thread. Asking $200. It was super cool of Xbox to do this for folks and eases the pain of not going to FanFest but I can't get off the rest of the week to go to E3.
Still got the pass?
Anybody get any new info about what's the plan for Sunday?
Still got the pass?
https://twitter.com/moneyrumble/status/872477510226763776#XboxFanFest - FanFest tix are now in FF registrants email boxes. Look for them there, Spam, Junk folders. If ur registered, you have it
It's going to be tough to go from the community event straight to the Bethesda conference. There's a half hour in between, hopefully it wouldn't be insanely difficult to get it all sorted out.
They specifically said in the Xbox email "Be sure to stay for the entire evening." (Bold & Italics theirs).
They said it runs until 8PM. The Bethesda thing starts at 6:30PM I think.
I am sure you can leave to make the other one, but I'm not sure what you're going to miss if you leave early.
I emailed Fanfest and they said, "If you are attending the majority of the event on June 11th, you should not have an issue to leave a little early for your other conference."
Thoughts?
They're more than happy to not give you Scorpio/Copious Piles of Cash/etc!
I imagine it should be OK.. probably have to wait and see how things unfold at the event though.
I remember.. 2 (?) years ago they gave out the swag bag/etc at the end of the event.
Stoked for all you guys going this year. Keep us up to date!
Can't be bitter about the voided ticket after I sold that E3 pass. In a roundabout way I basically got a free Scorpio after all. Hope you all do as well!
I'm actually a USC Student so the Galen is like a block away, but where is the actual Fanfest going down?
I am really curious what they'll have us doing from 10AM-12PM off-site, and then from 12PM-2PM on-site before the briefing. I'm guessing Xbox pep talks, food, etc. Can't imagine them letting us get drunk before the briefing.. °_°
Really curious what the free swag stuff will be this year. First year it was a backpack with an xbox mug, bunch of t-shirts and E3. Then it was another backpack, E3 tickets, a bunch of random shirts and swag. Last year was more backpacks, E3, shirts, but they threw in Minecraft Windows 10 and the custom controller. I don't really see them giving out 500 Scorpio's this year.. but wouldn't that be nice. Maybe custom FanFest Xbox One Ss? Or maybe a new Elite controller if they come out with one.. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
Nice! That is a good way to think about it.. I bought the early bird E3 tickets ($150) so if I make anything more than that I'll be happy.
Finally got transportation arranged, gonna have a friend drop us off on Sunday morning and then just Uber home that night. 10AM-8PM is a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong day of Xbox stuff.

Also they haven't given out much info about the Monday night event other than it's at 7:30PM and we'll find out on Sunday..
Also ALSO.. they said there is FREE parking for the Sunday thing. It's just a lot, but it's free.
I think it's at a venue nearby, I don't remember the exact name though. We have to get shuttled between them though so I don't think it's walking distance.
Is it in any of the emails?
Gotta post some pics! Have fun too!Got my personalized badge and shirt! They're really going all out this year.
Look for me.. Gamer tag: NSA

Yo Cap, where ya at?
I kind of wish they would have set up an Xbox Lounge or something for today near the convention center. Having all day has kind of left me wandering around LA and it would have been nice to have somewhere to go hang out and play some games before the event tonight.
