Epic Games is holding its first-ever Fortnite Summer Block Party next month, and tickets are available for pre-registration now, it announced on Friday. The Summer Block Party is a two-day event celebrating the popular battle royale game and its community. It takes place June 15-16 at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif. On Jun. 15, content creators and celebrities like Ninja, Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco, Dillon Francis, KittyPlays, Cray, and Jordan Fisher are participating in “Fortnite’s” first Creative tournament, where teams will compete on a new player-made game designed specifically for the event. Meanwhile, the Celebrity Pro-Am returns for its second year on Jun. 16. Tickets cost either $35 or $60 and provide access to both days of activities, including the Fortnite Fan Festival, Epic said. Verified fan registration is open now and closes on Monday, May 13 at 10 p.m. Pacific. Anyone who wants to pre-register can do so on “Fortnite’s” Ticketmaster website. Battlepass pre-sale tickets will be available starting on Saturday, May 11 at 10 p.m. Pacific, while the verified fan presale will run from Wednesday, May 15 at 10 a.m. Pacific through Thursday, May 16 at 10 p.m. Pacific. Ticket sales for the general public begins on Friday, May 17 at 10 a.m. Pacific. Both ticket tiers include 2,000 V-Bucks (“Fortnite’s” in-game currency), Epic said. But, ticket holders are limited to only four, and they have to buy two-day tickets. Earlier this year, Epic Games filed a lawsuit against the U.K. organizers of another two-day festival called Fortnite Live Norwich. It was billed as the “Fortnite” event of the year, but it reportedly had very little to do with the battle royale game. It was underwhelming and understaffed, fans said, and there weren’t enough activities. Hundreds demanded refunds. Epic distanced itself from the event filed a claim with the High Court of London.<doc-sep>Start transforming your game’s economy and increase your bottom line. Get the free guide now.

Epic Games announced that it’s hosting a new event in June called Fortnite Summer Block Party at The Forum arena in Inglewood, California. Fortnite continues to be an unstoppable juggernaut in the industry, with over 250 million players and revenues that surpass $1 billion. So it makes sense for Epic to throw a huge party for its fans. The Summer Block Party is June 15 and June 16 and feature appearances from both celebrities and popular Fortnite streamers (such as Ninja and KittyPlays). It will also have two tournaments: a Creative mode tournament that influencers will compete in, and the second annual Celebrity Pro-Am. Additionally, the Block Party will be the home of the Fortnite Fan Festival, where you can meet your favorite Fortnite characters (presumably in mascot form), ride on ziplines, and eat at restaurants like Durr Burger and Pizza Pete’s. Tickets start at $35 for both days, and you can pre-register for them here. The Block Party happens to take place just a few days after this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show, which will run from June 11 to June 13 at the L.A. Convention Center. And if you miss out on this event, you can always travel to New York in July for the Fortnite World Cup Finals, which will also have a number of fan-focused activities. Show organizer Endeavor is overseeing both the Summer Block Party and the Finals.<doc-sep>The first-ever Fortnite Summer Block Party will take place June 15-16 at The Forum in Inglewood, California, Epic Games announced today, with creator and celebrity appearances including Ninja, Dillon Francis, KittyPlays, Cray, Jordan Fisher, and Brendon Urie of Panic at the Disco. The first day of the event will see streamers and other celebrities doing battle in a Creative mode tournament in a game mode designed specifically for the big party. Day two will see the return of the Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am, which debuted last year with a win by—surprise—Ninja and Marshmello. The Summer Block Party will also include the Fortnite Fan Festival, featuring meet-and-greets with more than 20 characters like Peely, Fishstick, and Brite Bomber (I had no idea they were real people), a Pirate Ship and Fortnite Mini Golf, various places to stuff your face like Durr Burger and Sofdeez Ice Cream Shop, and a "real world Battlepass" to work on while you're there. (And yes, you'll get stuff for completing it.) Two-day tickets to the Fortnite Summer Block Party will start at $35, and if you're interested in attending you can "pre-register" with Ticketmaster until 10 pm PT on May 13. Doing so will ensure that you are "among the first to be notified" when the sales actually go live, so you've got a reasonably decent shot of getting your hands on some before the bots and scalpers do. And no worries if you can't attend in person, or maybe just don't feel like it, because both days of the event will also be livestreamed. More information will be revealed in the weeks leading up to the event.<doc-sep>
