A quick introduction before I start! My name is Josh Urtheart Cartlidge; most of you won’t know me, but you’ll have certainly seen me at previous events as I head the security team among other things for SoS!
Before I start, I would like to give thanks to those involved in the Summer of Sonic door security the past two years: Phil “vger” Sims, Joanne “Jemnezmy” Dowling, James “JJ” Maloney, John “Turbo” Finlay, Jessica “Violet” Palmer and Jason “Blake Draco” Hill, all of whom have given up their time to help make sure you guys get in safe and sound.

This year Summer of Sonic will be bigger and better than previous years, and so with the increase in size comes and increase in cost. We’ll be employing better systems for stage performances, showing off trailers and animations. We’ll have more events for you to participate in. Another part of making the event fun is making sure you guys feel safe by having proper security measures in place, and this also costs more.

However thanks to SEGA and the Summer of Sonic team, for the third consecutive year, Summer of Sonic will be a free event. That’s right, once again we won’t be charging you anything to attend the convention! Similar to Summer of Sonic 2009, we will once again have a registration period where you can sign up and get a ticket sent out to you electronically. With this ticket you will be able to get guaranteed entry into the convention, as well as get in before anyone without a ticket! All you need to do is present your e-ticket at the door; we’ll punch your ticket, stamp your hand, and let you in!

If you don’t have access to a printer to print off your ticket (or if you’d prefer to save paper) feel free to bring your ticket with you on your iPhone; I am more than happy to hole punch that as well.

More details of the tickets and registration will be coming soon.

See you all there!
