Fortnite To Host "Summer Block Party" Right After E3
<p>Epic Games has announced it's hosting a <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/fortnite/">Fortnite</a> party just after <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/e3/">E3 2019</a>. The two-day event will start on June 15 at The Forum in Inglewood, California. Though not officially tied to E3, it is relatively close to the Los Angeles Convention Center and takes place just a couple days after E3--and its <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/every-e3-2019-press-conference-scheduled-announcem/1100-6465962/">press conferences</a>--end. If you're already going to the industry event you may want to stay a couple days to relax and party.</p><p>The event will kick off with a Creative tournament on June 15 featuring celebrities and streamers. That tourney will include a new player-made game designed just for the event. Then on June 16, the event will host the Celebrity Pro-Am. Planned attendees include Ninja, Brendon Urie from Panic! At The Disco, Dillon Francis, KittyPlays, Cray and Jordan Fisher.</p><p>Pre-sale registration through <a href="https://verifiedfan.ticketmaster.com/fortnite">Ticketmaster</a> is now open, which will register you as a "Verified Fan" and gain you access to the sale period. That will put you in the pool to be notified about the ticket sales, to begin later. Battlepass pre-sale tickets will begin on Saturday, May 11 at 10 AM PT through Monday, May 13. Then Verified Fan pre-sales will begin on Wednesday, May 15 at 10 AM PT and run through Thursday, May 16. General public sales will begin the next day.</p><p>Tickets for the event will start at $35, and includes both days of events and tournaments along with other themed Fortnite activities like ziplining and Fortnite Mini Golf. You can even eat at Durr Burger, Pizza Pete's, and Sofdeez Ice Cream Shop.</p><p>In the game proper, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-season-9-patch-notes-whats-new-in-the-900/1100-6466763/">Fortnite Season 9</a> has just kicked off with a new futuristic theme.
