1st Ticket Batch Gone in 4 Hours
Some 500 people will be among the first in the general public to play Sonic Generations next month, right in the middle of the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
Called Sonic Boom, it’s being hailed as the first major US Sonic community event, though you may remember the Sonic Colors playtest at New York’s Citi Pond last Fall among the first outreach examples. The event will take place June 8th at Los Angeles’s Club Nokia venue, and aside from the Generations demo, there will be musical performances and other special guests to boot. Attendance is free and for all ages. What’s more, Sega of America’s community blog listed 500 early bird passes for reservation now on a first come, first serve basis. UPDATE: And now they are gone. During the 7PM ET hour tonight, all 500 tickets were reserved and given away. That means it took just under four hours for that first batch to be snatched by prospective attendees. Sega is planning for an estimated 2,000 attendees, so more should be made available through various mediums in due course.
According to newly appointed Associate Brand Manager Aaron Webber, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
“This is just the beginning of a fantastic celebration of Sonic Generations and Sonic’s 20th Anniversary, so stay tuned for many more surprises about Sonic Boom soon,” Webber said.
Again, if this interests you, it’s best to reserve a spot fast; be assured they will go as quick as the Summer of Sonic tickets did. We’ll bring you updates on the show once made available.

Count me in!
I’m planning on attending, I got my tickets ^^
Its times like these i’m not too fond of being Irish :I
Lets hope it finds its way to Xbox Marketplace before too long.
Finally the first US public demo
Oh yeah! I’m going. Just got my ticket. I’m 30 minutes outside LA and I’m taking my vacation during the week of E3, so this perfect for me. Seriously, this is going to be like, the greatest week ever. Also, I’m guessing this what the demo was rated for, public viewing.
“Some 500 people will be among the first in the general public to play Sonic Generations next month…….”
Yes! This is per-
“……….right in the middle of the Electronic Entertainment Expo.”
FFFFUUUUUUUUUUU-
Gonna be a good year for Sonic.
hell yea!! lol just got 5 for me and my friends n now they sold out, cant wait!!!!!!
I was hoping Sonic Boom was the name of a new game :/
I don’t live anywhere near the West Coast, so I won’t be able to go…but I’ll be there in spirit!
If everyone could leave feedback on how the demo is, that’d be swell!
…Too bad I live all the way out in West Virginia. I miss out on the best things…
@rave
lol and im all the way in virginia >.<
im farther
its always the beginning SEGA keeps saying. It’s just the beginning, just the beginning. When are we gonna get to the middle, dammit? but joking aside, this is stellar. Hopefully those 500 people aren’t those *ahem* “true sonic fans”. Otherwise, we’d here nothing but bitching instead of anything about the game that sane people actually care about.
