Livestream! Schedule! Floor Plan! Merchandise!

Hi gang

We’re almost there! The big day is tomorrow, and everyone at the Summer of Sonic staff is scrambling to set up our biggest show yet! We wanted to make sure you had all of the final details we wanted to share with you before the event starts.

Tickets

A final reminder, to please make sure you register and activate your tickets at http://hub.summerofsonic.com/ – without a valid ticket, you may be refused entry and we do not want that! Once registered on-site, you can print off your ticket or load up a mobile version so we can scan your barcode at the door. It’s incredibly easy to do and doesn’t take very long. Please make sure you do this! If you have any problems, please contact support@summerofsonic.com.

Livestream!

We will be recording the entire day’s events – both on the main ‘Sonic’ Stage and on the smaller ‘& Knuckles’ Stage, so we can keep a snapshot of everything that happens on the day. But the main area surrounding the ‘Sonic’ Stage will also be streamed live – so if you cannot make it to Summer of Sonic in person, you can see all of the main activity from the comfort of your own home.

You can watch the livestream on YouTube here, or on Twitch here. We will also include an embedded video on the Summer of Sonic website

A note for those who are attending Summer of Sonic: You will be entering an event that will feature live recording that will both be stored on tape and  streamed in an unmoderated fashion over the internet. By attending Summer of Sonic, you consent to be included in any and all broadcasts produced by Summer of Sonic, both live and recorded. If you do not wish to be seen on our livestream or recordings, you should contact a member of Summer of Sonic staff once entering the venue. Further details can be found in our Terms and Conditions of entry included on your ticket.

Floor Plan!

This floor plan will be included in your Summer of Sonic 2016 programme, but we thought it would be nice for you to see it before the day so you know where Sonic Mania is and you can rush to it where everything is and don’t get lost on the day itself.

Merchandise!

Yes, as with previous years you will be able to visit our grand merchandise stand at Summer of Sonic 2016, courtesy of our friends at Sonic Merchandise. There will be a large range of branded products for you to buy and walk home with, so feel free to have a look! We may also have some cool Sonic clothing that you can take a sneak peek at…

Upon entry to Summer of Sonic 2016, you will also receive a goodie bag which will include a programme for the day’s events and a couple of freebies. Use the bag to dump all of your purchased goods into so you don’t have to carry a mountain around with you on the day!

We can’t wait to see you guys on the day! Take care, and we’ll see you soon!

Svend, Adam and the Summer of Sonic Team

  1. Any idea when the back stage. Meet & Greet for the VIPs will be? 🙂

    Also what do we have to do to be pushed to the front of a queue during the event, do we just show our ticket to a member of Staff? 🙂

  2. Hey,

    I really appreciate it, since at last minute I had to cancel my trip to UK.
