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.

Want to get tickets, but the link has no info about how to get them
Well, I was all ready to go to this thing, then I learned the closest theater in Iowa would be in DAVENPORT. DAVENPORT?! REALLY?! Theaters in every state and for Iowa you pick DAVENPORT?! I was prepared to hear it was going to be Jordan Creek in Des Moines. Well, looks like I won’t be going this year after all.
So is there still no information on how to get the tickets or how many we can get.
The tickets will be posted in the link provided in the article. It’s not 9AM Pacific Time until a little over an hour from now.
Tickets not listed yet?
^You still have less than an our. http://www.playstation.com/e3experience.
when will the tickets go on sale or do we have to pick them up at the theaters ?
2 hours of sleep, got up to reserve. Been refreshing for last 30 mins. The posted link right? Eyes are getting heavy
Los Angeles is a sprawling metropolis with over 18 million population and you only designated one location?! California is the most populous state by a huge margin and has only 3 places spread across it while Texas with almost half of the population of Cali gets 4 locations?!
STATE POPULATION (2005 estimate)
1 California 36,132,147
2 Texas 22,859,968
3 New York 19,254,630
4 Florida 17,789,864
5 Illinois 12,763,371
Wow….. NYC only has 2 places. Are you kidding? Do you know how BIG the NYC area is? its not just NYC, but its all the surrounding areas along with it.
I’m so excited and hoping that I am lucky enough to get a ticket for the PS surprise. # PS4EVER
whats the deal with the tickets nothing has come up how to get the tickets.. its already 10:50 and no link on how to get the tickets..
Super Contra, you’re in the wrong Time Zone.
I’m going to stop commenting, because obviously people don’t know how to read.
So will the website update as soon as 9am hits? because it’s still the same and two mins away.
@163, We still have 2 minutes :)
ALMOST TIME!!!!
Next time they should of just put a timer when the tickets will be release..
Anyone able to get in? I can’t :(
Page doesn’t load. Fail.
i click on “get tickets” and nothing ever loads…… sigh…
https://playstatione3.eventgrid.com/Canada
https://playstatione3.eventgrid.com/UnitedStates
So its 9AM PT! Where are the tickets?
Can someone copy and paste the link to get the ticket?? I don’t see anywhere I can click on this website:
https://www.playstation.com/en-ca/campaigns/2015/e3experience/
I don’t even see a ‘get tickets’ option. My screen looks the same as it did half hour ago
Damn site won’t load…
Clicked ‘Get Tickets’ and nothing is happening … just hangs.
I click Get Ticket and its still loading.
Where are the tickets on the site? They were supposed to be available 8 minutes ago.
Site won’t load and the tickets have already “ended” on EventBrite since yesterday. I call BS
Errbawdy mad at yoooouuuuu Sony
excuse me, eventgrid *
Anyone else not being able to get tickets? Been refreshing the event page but no luck!
Finally get the page to semi-load but no option/ link to select or reserve tickets, it only shows the same info as this page basically:

Got to the “Get tickets” page…but can’t get ’em :/
Hope the page for Canada gets updated, still no tickets up yet…
Does anyone else’s location say quantity “ended?”
So the entire thing just crashed for me.
Not sure I will get my tickets now.
I selected two tickets and hit register now, and the site crashed on me after loading for 5 minutes.
I refreshed it and now, and once again selected 2 tickets, and it is just loading.
This is super disappointing.
If I miss out on this, I will be really upset.
Can the site for Canada actually offer the tickets? lol..
I don’t even see an ”get ticket” place so your lucky guys XD
Pacific Place 11 600 Pine St Seattle WA 98101 its not finding this to req tickets
eventgrid.com and their tiny servers can’t handle the awesome that is the Playstation Nation all at once.
Finally got eventgrid to load but now my theatre selection won’t load…
Has anyone gotten tickets or are we all just stuck on the loading page of doom?
Still stuck on get ticket screen :/
The page crash.. lol on getting the tickets.. This really funny..
I think it’s just putting everyone through a Queue possibly! I want to go to my local theater this year since I don’t have any summer classes!
I really hope I can get in because I’m like 50% of the way there! (loading)
Im stuck on the get tickets screen been clicking on it just waiting for it to get to next part. The one in my State is alot closer than i thought it would be. Hopefully i can get one.
HI Are the Canadian tickets available, because i can’t find any in the ticket purchase area?
I’m not sure about you guys but I checked yesterday and the ticket quantity has said “ended” since yesterday…. soooo
(I know they went on sale at 9AM today but wtf is going on)
I made it as far as the search box at 12pm on the dot, the site’s just been stuck since. I really don’t want to miss the chance to get these tickets!
