This year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, will now be available to the public for the first time ever. On February 8, E3 organizer The Entertainment Software Association announced that 15,000 tickets have been allotted for the public to purchase on Monday, February 13, Gamespot reported.
ESA's senior VP of communications, Rich Taylor, tells the gaming site that the move was the org’s response to the public clamor. Moreover, the "incredible attendee enthusiasm" for E3 Live event, an experimental event held in Los Angeles Convention Center last year, affirmed the org’s belief to open the expo to the public this year.
“The decision to open our doors to 15,000 fans was a strategic decision. It is thanks to our members and their vision and leadership that made this possible. We have a model that allows the business of the industry to continue for our business and media attendees and provides an opportunity for video games' biggest fans to experience the latest in innovative, immersive entertainment," Taylor added.
However, insiders are worried that as the expo will now be opened to the public, the atmosphere and the showroom floor might be different. Ryan Winslett for Cinemablend said this could also mean a revitalized atmosphere for the trade show.
“If someone is paying to attend E3, then you know for a fact that they are really, really excited to be a part heading to the show, not just attending because it's part of their job or something they "put up with" to get to see old friends or industry acquaintances on an annual basis. Hopefully the paying crowd will bring a fresh energy to the show and put a little extra pep in E3's step,” Winslett wrote.
CNET notes that the tickets are a little expensive. The first 1,000 tickets are sold at USD150 apiece, after that price will now be at USD250.
