5/31 Update — Some changes and updates on ticket and seat availability:

  • Ticket registration will open today, Wednesday 5/31/17, at 1:30PM PT.
  • There was a brief system test last night which allowed a small number of tickets to be claimed. As of this morning there are still plenty of tickets remaining at each theater.
  • If you received a ticket confirmation email you are guaranteed a seat at the event if you present your valid ticket at least 30 minutes before show time.
  • We will be admitting those without tickets on a first-come first-served basis after all present ticket holders are seated.

  • it would be better if this was done on sat-sun

  • well, nice evening to all you good fellow and see you tmr! hope every body have a wonderful evening

  • Ima be really upset if I don’t get a ticket EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRYING TO FOR THE PAST 9 HOURS TOO so ugh

  • Best of luck to everyone whenever this issue’s resolved!

  • The site is telling me “Invalid Code”. Is everyone else still having issues? Mine seems to be different than other issues that are being reported.

    • That’s the exact problem I’m having. Everytime I go on it, especially after creating an account, it won’t let me do it. Heck it keeps saying there’s no screenings available in my area even though I’m like 20 minutes away from one of the theaters playing, the same one I’ve been to for the last 2 years, and I’m really getting aggravated because of it.

    @PlayStation

    Still investigating E3 Experience ticketing issues. We’ve pulled the site for now & will have an update tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

    Are you actually kidding me?! So this 9+ hour wait was for nothing?!?!?! Agrrh I need to punch something

  • I finally was able to join fobo but I have no code been waiting all day

  • Good luck tomorrow, everyone! I’ll still follow any news due to the possibility of tickets obtained by people today (including me) getting invalidated. Who knows what will happen?

  • This would be even WORSE on a sat-sun with the site they used. If it lasted less than 2 minutes before crashing on a weekday it would prob crashed less than a minute. Just go back to the site you have always used it gradually was getting more stable every year. Sure it might be slow but at least it worked perfect after about 30-45 mins after the tickets went live.

  • Every year its in some far off citys in california. Why not pick more locations in the inner cities like cerritos, downey, lakewood areas im cali.

  • NOW THEY’RE ASKING TO ENTER A CODE TO REDEEM, WHAT CODE??????

  • What is the code that they are asking for on the site???

  • I don’t know how valid these claims are that people have gotten tickets but on the PlayStation twitter they said they pulled the site and will update tomorrow. Hope that eases some stress from people who are like me and have been at it all day and were uncertain as to whether we missed out or not.

  • To Sony: To be perfectly blunt, your marketing dept requires an evaluation, restructuring, better management and/ or further training. It doesn’t take THIS long to find out what’s wrong much less update your fanbase on the status and direction you’re going.

    That’s with one person in mind, and I’m sure you have a team. Instead, you’ve held people’s time hostage and not respected it or them one bit. This is not how you conduct yourselves professionally especially if one is being paid as such completely or partly by the money of consumers you just disrespected.

    A huge embarrassment and waste of time. Thanks for the vague “tomorrow” notice not on this site but Twitter, because everyone is in the same timezone.

    • That’s just great, try all day, now after my post it decides to work and of course it’s full. Great job announcing that you pulled the site, which was a complete and utter lie. SMH FACEPALM.

  • I got my tickets! I hope everyone​ here gets the tickets they wanted!

  • The site is up and running.. and of course.. event is full..
    https://www.gofobo.com/index.php/main/blp/UGxheXN0YXRpb25FMzIwMTc=

  • I just got mine a few minutes ago!

  • Just grabbed mine for Indianapolis

  • Was finally able to progress past the invalid code page, but it says the event is full :( Been refreshing all day and all I got was a spot on the wait list. Hope it was just because Playstation pulled the site and I can get a pass tomorrow.

  • Holy WAH… wot, 10 hours later.. FINALLY got two passes to the Lansing, MI showing of the E3 Presser. ‘Bout flippin’ time (with repeated cache clearings). Good luck, y’all!

    • Honestly, I kept clearing my browser cache and history and repasted the link I copied right from the official Sony E3 site (gofobo.com/PlayStationE32017) The screen changed and it finally allowed me to search for my city, and then select the number of passes I wanted (after inputting my gofobo account info). Yes, as simple as that. And I was surprised it was NOT that flippin’ Invalid Code screen either.

  • 9 1/2 hours of my life wasted. I feel like we should all get something for this. I’ve gone to this event every year and have never had any issues getting tickets with the old site.

  • Still saying that there is no screening in AZ. Any time frame for fix?

  • Any updates yet? I really don’t want to miss out this year.

  • On twitter you said you’ve “pulled the site for now”, now it’s working but full @ Sunrise FL… bummer

  • So some people managed to get their tickets? How?

  • invalid code showed in gofobo……PLS dont tell me it means sold out tickets

  • Devil_InThe_Sand

    I just loaded it on my phone and it worked without any lag. I was about to call it a night but i figured id give it one last try. Good luck everyone!

  • Still down here in Oklahoma. Ugh! Been trying since this morning!

  • So how do I get a ticket been trying this Gofobo thing all day?

  • So now when I tried it got sent to wait list. Is that just a redirection or all the seats taken?

    Also call me entitled, but we deserve compensation. I spent a whole hour on my phone only refreshing a screen, then spent the rest of the day checking back in intervals. I wouldn’t be mad if they gave updates during this but it took 3 hours for their first statement and then 7 for the next, this is unacceptable.

  • Also still down here in Philadelphia area. Have tried everything, but nothing works. Going to bed. Bunch of crap.

  • So on neogaf, they’ve found the links that leads directly to the event page. Sorry to say but I think most venues are full. You can find the links on the ps4 subreddit.

  • 12 midnight 5/30 at night MIA Miami Florida is back up I click the link Sony f*** give and I get this
    INVALID CODE The code you entered is invalid. Please try again.PLEASE ENTER A VALID CODE BELOW wait what the… I did not even have or had a code to enter in the first place excuse me what gggaaaaahh! I waited from 1:00 Eastern time or 10:00 pacific time USA and waited 12 hours for nothing dear lord o might Santa Maria why did I have to be punished I go to sleep as broken as a men who got shot in world war 1 and 2

    Dear Sony, PlayStation as a person you have lost my hart and soul so I my wallet will be going some were else as a fan you have lost all my hope and trust I still had rip Zikesokone1 from ever being your fan # 305…… weep weep sob sob

  • apparently the codes leaked over the last couple hours and now all the events are sold out up to the wait list. hopefully sony just starts fresh tomorrow and pretends that today never happened.

    there’s going to be a lot of angry people if they say “oh yeah, we told you guys we’d announce details in the morning, but the guys at GAF figured out all the secret links while you were sleeping so there’s nothing left”

    • I will be attending my local theater in sunset Florida just so I can complain even if I don,t get in

    • @Zikesokone1: Seriously? Because if so, that’s a pretty pathetic way to waste your own time. LOL

    • yes it is a wait of time but this thing Sony has put me through is ruin my day so I will try to ruin my local theater E3 some how

    • Better not. I got my passes legitimately, before the codes were needed. If they get erased ill be mad because I didn’t get to go last year due to it “selling out” in 10 minutes….

    • You do realize the people working there don’t work for Sony but are hired as marketers.

  • Got tickets to Union Square NYC, FINALLY. It was definitely frustrating dealing with gofobo but at least I don’t have to worry about this anymore…hopefully. lol

  • Devil_InThe_Sand

    I hit refresh on the window i had opened earlier and it literally opened up to a page with all the theatres listed.

    Today was such a painful day. Thank god i was off but it was still stressful.

  • So the Gofobo site was up for a short period of time and I was able to reserve two tickets, I heard that they are doing something different, so will those two tickets reservations become invalid?

  • Ok I’m having a major issue. I made an account but I didn’t get any codes whatsoever, nor could I even get them. I searched it up and it kept saying there are no screenings in my area, even though I’m in NJ and the closest one to me was at Seacourt 10 in Toms River. Is this another glitch or what? Or should I make another account or something?

    • nope it nothing wrong buddy its gofakebo fault not yours everything your getting I too get same error

    • Its the site itself. They pulled the site and said they will update tomorrow. They should have never done this site. Its not meant for this. Eventbrite was the perfect site to do it granted it might be slow but was at least functional.

  • I got the wait list email for 42st time square in NYC just like last year .

  • Well apparently everyone else now is succeeding but I’m still stuck with the invalid code BS. Where is the link everyone is getting through at?

  • Well this is bs. 14 hrs no fix and it seems barely anyone who kept a eye on this thread got tickets.

    I was on the get ticket link at 1 when the site crashed having already picked my city and all that.

    This sucks.

  • Well this is sad. You guys really dropped the ball on this one.

    14 hrs stie still doesn’t work and it seems people on NEOGAF found a side door to get all the tickets before you guys made a official way to get some.

    Uncool.

  • I keep getting “Invalid Code” when clicking on the link. :\

  • PlayStation/Sony said on twitter six hours ago that they’ve pulled the site so that’s probably why we just keep getting the “Invalid Code” page. They said there will be an update tomorrow so we gotta wait for now. Crossing my fingers.

    • People Are claiming they got tickets but I call BS. And if they did it’s an extremely small amount. They should just reset everything and start over again. This was a HUGE fail. My buddy at work said he got on the waiting list but it was after Sony pulled the site/tickets and his waiting list email wasn’t like event grid, no name on it and the event wasn’t even mentioned. Gofobo HUGE FAIL. Sony needs to just start 100% over with this on eventgrid or some other site. Sorry to the 1-3% of people that got tickets but they need to do a 100% redo of this entire thing.

  • I’m not a fan of invalidating tickets that were already reserved. If they can’t add an extra screen in each theater, especially after acknowledging an issue and then saying they’ve “pulled the site” (whatever that means), essentially telling people to hold tight and wait, then I don’t think starting over is necessarily a bad idea.

  • Super disappointed in Sony’s choice to use Gofobo. I could not get the page working. The last two years were so fun. Yes there was hella web traffic, but it was possible to get to the site. This year was awful. I see above it says “update” and that Sony is looking into issues, but what does that mean? Super bummed here with no tickets.

  • What a complete and utter waste of my time. Been trying since yesterday to get a ticket. If you were just trying to get thousands of people to create Gofobo accounts, it worked. Looking forward to my spam emails. Thanks.

  • Tried again this morning at 9:25am on the East Coast. Still getting the invalid code screen.

  • Tried from 1PM EST and got in luckily via my phone around 9 PM and secured 2 spots. What a mess – I cannot believe it has yet to be rectified.
