The second-ever IGN Live is almost here, and the media giant is loading up its summer showcase with video game heavy hitters. Expect blockbuster video game reveals and hands-on demos from the industry’s biggest players, including Xbox, Nintendo, Bandai Namco, and more. And with the Switch 2 console finally set to launch this week, it’s certainly an exciting moment in the gaming world.
Are you thinking about diving in? Here’s how to secure your pass to the June 7–8 event at the Magic Box @ The Reef event venue in Los Angeles, California. Your tickets get you access to live shows, panels, giveaways, demos, meet and greets, and more video game fun.
Head over to ign.com/live and you’ll land on the festival’s main page. Right up front, you’ll find big, unmissable links to buy tickets. Tap one, and you’ll be redirected to a Tixr page with two options: General Admission or VIP.

General Admission is $25 and gets you a one-day pass. You can choose Saturday (June 7) or Sunday (June 8). This is the basic package: entrance to the event, and that’s about it.
VIP Admission will run you $40, but it comes with weekend-long access, priority entry, and a swag bag full of IGN-branded goodies. After that, it’s the usual checkout flow: pick your ticket, plug in your info, and boom, you’re set.
The show floor opens up at 9 a.m. PT on Saturday, but if you don’t get tickets, you can also tune in to the events online.
Disclosure: IGN Entertainment is a subsidiary of ZiffDavis Inc., which is the parent company of Mashable.
