By now you’re probably all wondering one thing – that the Summer of Sonic is absolutely fantastic and all, but just when the dickens does it all start? Well wonder no longer. We can confirm that the doors to the Summer of Sonic 2010 will open at 10:30am, on the morning of Saturday 7th August.
Remember, only those with registered tickets will be allowed entry at 10:30am – if you did not manage to pre-register on our website, you will need to wait until 11:30am to be allowed in on a capacity-basis.
From the moment you walk in there will be art tables, merchandise booths, playable game pods and cabinet displays to admire and enjoy. At 11:00am, Svend ‘Dreadknux’ Joscelyne and Kevin ‘AAUK’ Eva will take to the stage to formally welcome you all to the day’s activities and events. From thereon in, it’s showtime!
We have an excellent schedule planned for your entertainment as you chill out and meet new friends – we will be publishing this a little later on so you can plan your day accordingly. Obviously, the event you will want to look out for is Crush 40′s first ever live Western performance – this will be the last event to take place in the day at 5:45pm, and will follow Svend and Rory ‘Roareye Black’ Joscelyne’s contest prize giveaways and closing show.
Unfortunately, like all good things, the Summer of Sonic 2010 must come to an end. And that end will be 7:00pm. That’s right, because of the amount of Way Past Cool we’ve crammed into this year’s convention, SoS will be going on for longer than past years. We hope you’ll enjoy it.
Reminder: Although the Summer of Sonic 2010 will officially finish at 7:00pm, the front doors will close at 5:30pm, ahead of Crush 40′s live performance. After this time, door staff will only be able to let people out – nobody will be allowed to come back in after they have left the venue at this point. If you plan to enjoy Crush 40 and need to leave the venue before the performance, please allow yourself enough time to arrive back at the venue before doors close.
To recap, then:
10:30am – Doors open
11:00am – Start
5:30pm – Doors close
7:00pm – Finish
yay!
That’s great thanks for that!

@Sheezy: If you want to finish a drawing at Summer of Sonic, we can put it up on the wall for you on this occasion. But you will not be able to enter it in for any contests – art competition entries can only be made on the day, in the venue.

I wonder if Crush 40′s segment will last from 5.45pm to 7.00pm?
@Simon: Hatfield Station to London Kings Cross that where i usually arrive in London
Thanks zoe, once you arrive at kings cross station find the victoria line(light blue)and catch the train that heads south to oxford circus.once at oxford circus change onto the central line(red)that heads west to sheperds bush.once at sheperds bush follow the map.
Craig, once you arrive at victoria coach station walk onto buckingham palace road.when on this road turn left and walk up it.you should walk past colonnades shopping centre and victoria place shopping centre,both of them should be on the right.next to victoria place shopping centre is victoria station. go into victoria station and then follow the underground instructions i gave you earlier.
@ Simon: thanks i’ll check this route out on Thursday so i’ll know the route on Saturday
The girl following TRiPPY around like a little puppy…Thats me |D
I have a small question..the ticket has been printed on an A4 format paper. can I cut the ticket itself out of it?
Hoggerr – you certainly can, its what we’ve done, as long as the numbers to the bottom are legible, it’ll be fine
Can’t wait. I’m going to bed now. Should be there at about 10am.
