Summer of Sonic Registration Reaching Max Capacity

Don’t Have a Ticket?  Better Get One Now

So many have filled out the advance registration form since Tuesday that organizers of the Summer of Sonic fan convention in London may very soon have to stop accepting applications.  This, according to a statement made by Josh Cartlidge this evening on the Summer of Sonic website.

Though the new venue for SOS allows for double the capacity over last year, Cartlidge says demand is again high, and the legal limits of occupation are again being tested:

In previous years registration has usually got to a point where we have had to stop it in case we go over the legal limit of how many people we are allowed in the place we hold our events.

If you are still on the fence about coming to Summer of Sonic, register anyway, this way you get a ticket in case you do want to come. We will still try to get in all those who come but have not registered but please be aware that ticket holders will get priority.
Despite us being able to hold double the amount of people in this venue, we are sadly reaching that limit again of how many people we can hold. If you are still on the fence about coming to Summer of Sonic, register anyway, this way you get a ticket in case you do want to come. We will still try to get in all those who come but have not registered but please be aware that ticket holders will get priority.

No specific timetable for closing registration has yet been set, and in all likelihood it will be without warning beyond today’s announcement.  We reported Tuesday SOS co-organizer Svend Joscelyne would consider closing registration once anywhere from 700 to 800 people signed up.  The bottom line: If you’re planning to go and haven’t registered, do it now, or your trip to London in two weeks may be for naught.
