For the first time ever, E3 is opening its doors to the public. The Entertainment Software Association, which organizes the event every year, announced today that an allotment of 15,000 tickets will be made available for anyone to buy this coming Monday, February 13.

Priced at $250 (or $150 as part of an early bird discount available on February 13), tickets provide access to the show floor, panel discussions, and other events from Tuesday through Thursday of E3 week. The ESA will partnerwith games media veteran Geoff Keighley to provide attendees with access to special benefits associated with Keighley's own E3 programming, such as developer interviews and more. Full details on this and other elements of E3's new public plans will be announced in the coming weeks.

E3 2017 takes place June 13-15. More than 200 exhibitors are lined up to attend the event--"leading companies from around the world," Taylor says. Bear in mind that the list of exhibitors on E3's website is not final, as discussions with publishers remain ongoing.

From what I've read, they are going to have to make major changes to how they do their show floor if they want this to be anywhere close to enjoyable to the general public. Media people are always talking about how much of a chore it is to see and play anything.

In if I can nab a ticket. I drive into LA several times a week so it'd be an easy trip.

Well, that's due to everyone feeling obligated to write about the same things. Certain parts were pretty empty. I hope that this helps grow E3 again.

That price tag is unacceptable though. Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show are less than a 1/10 of that price.
