2ND UPDATE: I’m out of Stadium and Retro tickets.  Stay tuned, as I might have more down the road.  Thanks for all those who applied!

UPDATE: SEGA’s early registration batch of tickets is now gone, but there are sill a handful via Stadium and Retro.  Contact details are below.

After years of wanting a Sonic community event here in the United States, we’re finally getting one with “Sonic Boom,” special treat for those in town during the E3 Expo in Los Angeles on the night of Wednesday, June 8th.We will be hanging out, playing some Sonic Generations and celebrating Sonic’s 20th anniversary.Best of all: this event is absolutely free.

Sonic Stadium, in cooperation with Sonic Retro and SEGA of America, have 2,000 seats to fill and we need our dedicated forum members to pack the house!This event will be big, so you’re going to need to reserve a spot. SEGA is currently letting 500 people RSVP to the event, but both Stadium and Retro have a specific allotment of passes, too, ensuring that everybody has a chance to go.

How can you go as a member of Sonic Stadium?Just e-mail me at bradflick AT sonicstadium DOT org and you will get a link to sign up through us.It’s that simple!

This event will be very exciting.Not only will you be able to play Sonic Generations without having to go to E3, but many recognizable community members will be in attendance!At this time, Jason, Nuckles87 and myself will be there from Sonic Stadium, along with Chimpo and Gene from Sonic Retro, but we will have some international flair with TSS founder Dreadknux, T-Bird and The Taxman in the building!

pretty cool but im 17 i cant go if i was 23 with a car , i can go

Blazingtales

This is pretty awesome, but unfortunately LA is a but too far away for me to be able to afford (it would actually be cheaper to fly to London for SOS, funny enough). Still, it sounds like a blast, so have fun attendees and takes lots of pictures for me!:)

    nicomg1295

    well, i live at chile, so i got even less chance to go:(

Hogfather

I so wish I could go to this.

Just too short a notice for me, I doubt I could get the money raised to go over in that time.

billy adams

GOSH! i’ve been waiting for something like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but it’s SOO short notice i won’t be able to. if i lived closer i would but i don’t have enough time to save up to go now =/..

Holy Shrimp

Ahh man, m going to be missing out on this one.
Sadly I Live on the oposite side of the country. Well, at least we got the Sonic Colors playtest! Lets hope the theme will be heard there, most of the themes are heard in the E3 Trailers anyway.

TheDanimator

YES! Im so stoked about this, I live 2 hours from LA
See you guys there!

Frokenok3

I live like 8 hours away with plane -_-

No problem… “Sonic Boom” and i’m there in seconds!!! 😛

I hope we’ll have a live stream.

Hogfather

Is that time definately correct? 6pm until 10pm? 4 hours long?

FoxBoy

Da’h! Why does it have to be free!? Now I CARE! But it’s 2 hours away from my gf and it takes me hours to get to her and like… MONEY. So it wouldn’t be free for me. What do I do!? D:

Nintendo bros. 64

    Brad

    Then go to Summer of Sonic?

      Rickyrick

      Who creates the SOS? SEGA or community people?

Omochao

I’m gonna be stuck up here in Canada, but I do have friends in the States and I’ll definitely be telling them about this! This is exciting!

blu

Its too bad I live all the way in the North East. Sure sounds awesome though, and glad that we Americans are finally getting our own Sonic-con! >.<

SonicGamer12

sonicdudefan1996

sonicdudefan1996

Kiberbot

Sega seriously believes that without Crush 40 this event can surpass SoS 2010? Hah!

Well, for American fans this is still very good news.

    Brad

    Who needs Crush 40?There will be 2,000 people and live music at this thing.

      sonicdudefan1996

Seanile_Kitsune

And wait, Brad’s going to Sonic Boom? Wow! You can go anywhere. O.O

    Brad

SEGA Announces American Sonic Community Meet-Up!

[…] Since the main registration is down, SonicRetro and SonicStadium have said a few places available! Send an email to slingerland AT sonicretro DOT org or bradflick […]

Jix Hedgehog

Email Brad? .. but, he’s evil!

Good thing I already got mine 😀

    Brad

    I don’t like shitty games, so I’m “evil?”Aight.

Aaron Webber

All 500 early bird tickets have sold out! Amazing – congrats to those who picked them up.

If you didn’t manage to get one but would like to attend, we’ll have more passes going up soon! Stay tuned to sega.com/sonicboom for all the latest news.

And to those arguing about whether one or the other is ‘better’ – that’s not what’s important.

What matters is that this year, we’ll have two fantastic events – Sonic Boom and Summer of Sonic – available for Sonic fans across the world. So whether you live in the US or in Europe, you’ve got a great event nearby that you can go to, absolutely free, and meet all sorts of fellow Sonic fans, as well as see the stars of Sonic history and even take part in a few special surprises.

It’s a great year to be a Sonic fan – and an even better year for those out there who will get to attend both events!

    adalava69

    Yea i live on the east coast i want to go can u guys pick me up i’ll throw in a couple dollars for gas.

      FalconKick

      ditto. But just in case you guys decide to ditch me, will you be coming back to NYCC this year,Aaron? You made the SEGA booths so welcoming compared to others.

Rickyrick

If only I was older!! Dang, oh well:)

Someone please bring a camera and record everything!(Generations gameplay, merchandise, music, etc!)

sonicdudefan1996

Sapphire

LA’s really far… But my brother already requested tickets for us, so I guess it’s likely we’re going!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE SO AWESOME!!!

It’s gonna be easily the best day EVER!

DC111

I can’t go, but this is still TOTALLY AWESOME! 😀 Hope everyone who goes has a great time, and PLEASE, bring some news/pictures/recordings back with you.. oh yeah, and livestream, please.

Ggk

Well I sent an email, hope I can get two tickets for my friend and I, it looks like such an awesome event and we are both avid sonic fans.

Rafael

I can make it there, but are there anymore tickets available?

BoyleVoices

I’m in complete shock.My parents got me a ticket.I can’t believe I’m going.Totally cosplaying as Eggman!

    Silva Rymes

    Great, now I KNOW I’ll be missing the greatest meeting of Sonic fans ever. *sadface x1000*

    (It’s almost as if Pollock himself was cosplaying as Eggman! God help us if that ever came to fruition…)

Clyde the hedgehog

Dang it, a Sonic event happening in the states and I may not be able to go to it. How many tickets are left? and By transportation do I get there myself or will someone but supporting my transport to get there? 1: I live in the states but at Chattanooga, TN. 2: I’m old to drive but I don’t have a driver lic., so I don’t a car, also my family relatives need their cars for work and all. 3. I also I’m taken care of my granmother at home almost 24/7, because everybody else have to go off to work in the morning, my aunt can take care of her, but lately she been coming to the house late.

So all this is on me, preventing me from going, except you guys could help with transportion for the ones who no getting there.

Clyde the hedgehog

^Nothing cool happens in Tennessee anymore. Just that one time I forgot when but I could print out a ticket to go to a… now was it a E3 or was it a Nintendo event, well doesn’t matter right now. I just say that one of the pocations was at Memphis, Tennessee that had some video game event happen there once, also at other states as well.

Now, if this Sonic event take place at muiti locations and one near me then I might be able to go, but it only happening at LA. DANG IT? Why there?

Ryan Brown

*sigh* Texas never gets any love regarding video game events…

Simon h

Summer of sonic is still the best. 11 hours long compared to only 4 hours. And also it’s on the 25th which is alot closer to sonic’s birthday, meaning it will be a proper celebration for sonic’s 20th.

    Sapphire

    I’m actually very glad Sonic Boom is earlier in June. I wouldn’t be able to go if it were any later since I’m taking a trip to Germany around then! Just my luck!!! 😀

    Still hoping I can go!:)

Ggk

I’m so excited I got a ticket through stadium, and my best friend got a ticket through Sonic Retro, it’s gonna be so much fun, and we only live bout an hour from Nokia Club, so it won’t be to bad a drive till we actually get into LA lol.Gonna be such a great night, thanks again for the ticket!

Sonics Coming123

allright mr Webber Im very ex ited for this but nex time ANNOUNCE IT AT LEAST THREE MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME! Im practially spending nearly 500$ of my hard earned money just to fly all the way from Ohio to LA for one day at the last minute .

The Blue Dude

Got my tickets earlier today. I’ll be doing a video documentary on it basically. So I’ll bring back plenty of media for everyone.

Also I have a few extra tickets, so if you’re hurting for tickets PM me on the board and I’ll be happy to help. You’ll have to be with me at the door though.

Lidice

I got my ticket and will more likely stay there for 2 hours since I bought my VGL ticket before this was announced. Would really like to stay there more but I can’t. Those VGL tickets are non-refundable!!!D:<

    waaurufu

    Psh, VGL. I went two years in a row, no Sonic music (even though the pamphlet said they would). The year I didn’t go, Sonic music.

    Fate has a wry sense of humor.

JayFoxFire

Bah, which it was in New York City, I live in NJ x.x

ALEX IN la!!!!!

Alexis
