UPDATE: Since we’ve received a lot of comments asking which movie theaters will be participating, we’ve added the list to the bottom of this post. As a reminder, tickets will be made available at http://playstation.com/e3experience tomorrow (Wednesday, May 27th) at 9:00am PT.
Whenever I interact with the PlayStation community I’m always struck by their passion and excitement for gaming. I saw this firsthand at E3 2014, when I teamed up with PlayStation and Fathom Events to bring the E3 Press Conference live to over 10,000 fans around the country as part of the PlayStation E3 Experience in movie theaters. It was amazing to see fans line up all across America to experience the news and announcements live with others in the community.
This year I’m happy to announce that the PlayStation E3 Experience will return on Monday, June 15. Due to the quick sell-outs in 2014, we will be staging it in significantly more theaters — and yes, it will still be free. Last year tickets in most markets sold out in 15 minutes or less, so for 2015 we are increasing the number of theaters by more than 150%, with at least one theater in every state across the US — including Hawaii and Alaska — plus 3 cities in Canada.
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. 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. (Last year attendees received early access to the Destiny Alpha and Battlefield: Hardline beta, along with a great poster and VIP laminate).
To make it fair to everyone in the community, this year we are giving you advance notice of ticket sales. Free tickets will be made available on Wednesday, May 27 starting at 9:00 a.m. PT at playstation.com/e3experience. Eighty percent of theater capacity will be reserved for ticket holders, with 20% 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.
The PlayStation.Blog guys also tell me that their big PlayStation LiveCast show will be back again in a big way, kicking off with the PlayStation Press Conference on June 15th, starting at 5:45 p.m. Pacific Time. They’ll have plenty of game demos, new trailers, and developer interviews over the next three days – and you’ll be able to watch on your PS4 or PS3 using the Live Events Viewer app, too. Stay tuned for more details.

I got an email confirmation around 1 30. I wish i could take my nephew.
@496 It says Must be 17 years of age or older to attend this event. A valid form of ID proving age will be required to enter. So doubt anyone under that age can get in.
Dont think so cause it says 17 or older. Kids are def not 17 or older. If it mentioned the whole parent thing they would have prob said it.
Waiting for email confirmation, but I did jot down my confirmation number just in case.
Since they’ll be showing mostly M rated games, that isn’t a surprise.
two hours later still no email…………….
We should use this opportunity to stage a boycott protest of Konami over the loss of P.T. and Silent Hills. #SilentNoMore #RIP_PT
Still no email for me, man this is taking a LOOONG time.
2 hours, no email either…
@505, 506 I printed the confirmation on the website just in case the e-mail doesn’t come. I figure it’ll work since it has all the relevant info.
So did I.
Yeah going on over 2 hours and no confirmation emails on all 3 tickets.
@507 Only got the conformation number for one of my four tickets since I got some for my friends as well. Yikes.
Still waiting on my confirmation email. Crossing fingers!
Ok so for the 3 Canada locations wouldn’t it had made more sense to have one on the west coast, another in central Canada, then another on the east coast?.. yeah that would have made a lot of sense but instead you guys have 1 west coast locations and 2 central Canada locations, totally ignoring your east coast customers and fan base.. i was one of hundreds of PS3/PS4 owners here in Halifax, Nova Scotia waiting to hear where the east coast location would be……..
according to support the emails are being delayed and we just need to keep checking for them
@513 Probably overloaded with so many trying to sign up at once.
Over 500 comments, The hype is real. I got tickets but no email which is cool, I got that number
Still waiting for that email. And FIGURES my printer isnt working right now but too Gyazo screenshot of it.
lol, only 3 in Canada, and not even spread out evenly across the country. Wouldn’t have been going anyway, but it’s still funny to me.
Anyone from Boston get their confirmation emails yet? Just went on to register and they still have tix available apparently.
I also got a confirmaion number but have yet to receive a confirmation e-mail. Feeling a bit nervous.
404pm est no email for us
got a wait list e-mail instantly but not for the event (tried again and it worked)
Anyone now where I can speak to support about this? I am now starting to get a little worry… I mean i printed my page out and everything but I want that E-mail to just make sure you know?
Finally got my email confirmation!!
I finally got my email but theirs no message in the email??
@chaoticcoder It should just have your receipt information. So you’re saying it’s blank?
I didn’t get my email yet @ND731 and @vypermajik, for my first ticket (myself) and the second batch of tickets (for myself and my brother through IE). The +1 could be for the waiting list if I read it correctly.
4:27pm EST.
It’s okay if it’s delayed, fingers crossed!
I want my confirmation emailllllllll
Me and three other friends are still waiting for the email. Hope it actually comes.
@521
nothing here yet. got my confirmation page and pdf’ed it, but haven’t gotten my email yet. (for what it’s worth, i did lowell instead of boston so there would actually be someplace to park)
So how does the waiting list work?
4 hours after I got my confirmation number, still didn’t get an email.
@533 Same here.
Is there an issue with confirmation emails going out? I registered around noon, and haven’t gotten an email confirmation yet. It seems like others are having the same issue. Any help would be appreciated.
@532 – crazygamer28
Look at this comment that was made earlier
“If you’re on the waiting list, then you have to show up early (really early, depending on which area you live in) and you’re NOT guaranteed to get in. I was on the waiting list last year and all ticket holders enter, get the free swag, and are seated before anyone on the waiting list gets in. After that, it’s first come, first serve. If you’re on the waiting list and show up late, you may as well have not shown up.”
Very disappointed about their choice of website.
Not only did it fail in loading the pages for the already limited time I had for my break,
but the time I did manage to get through it called for a damn american address for a Canadian venue!!!
Such a huge failure of technology…
Got my confirmation email at 4:53pm eastern! Good times! E3 at Union Square, followed by boozing up over at Barcade New York! :D
Can we get a confirmation on location for the Chicago event?
The list you posted has River East 21 322 E Illinois St Chicago IL 60611 as the location.
The event grid site has City North 14 with RPX 2600 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
Aaand support says they’re working on the Canadian venue issues…
Gonna hate to find out tomorrow morning that all the tickets went in the middle of the night.
So… no confirmation email yet, how does that go?
Only received my waiting confirmation so far [which was about 20 – 40 mins ahead of the reserved tickets] so no worries. I guess they’re just taking their time :]
HEY SAN DIEGANS, registration is back up for tickets in San Diego. Said wait list then sold out completely soon after it was available but now it back to register. Go get’em while the gettins good.
@540 so what does that mean exactly? I registered for 4 tickets, are they not valid as I’ve never received emails?
Please have this at Cineplex Chinook. I know three Canadian theatres are confirmed at this time.
@544 I think you’re good since you saw the confirmation screen, not a bug out screen like I did just recently.
Otherwise, four tickets? The heck!
You better be holding em for your disabled buddies pal.
@546 Yeah they’re preeeeeeeety special alright XD
Got my confirmation email just now. And it only took 6 hours!! Stay patient everyone, you’ll get your emails soon!
I also got my confirmation e-mail, Nashville ahoy!
Just got my confirmation email! Woohooo
