Free Xbox FanFest Event Coming to Sydney

Xbox Australia has announced an upcoming Xbox FanFest event for Australia, to run in Sydney from September 27-29. It will feature a number of Xbox-centric exclusive experiences, including entry to a Forza Horizon 3 launch event and participation in a "secret activity" for Gears of War 4. Tickets to the event will be free, but are limited to the first 250 fans who line up at the Microsoft store on the first day.

Ticket holders will be granted exclusive early access to the Xbox booth at EB Games Expo on September 29 prior to its opening to the public. In addition to scoring some themed swag, Xbox has also announced that those who have tickets will be able to "meet and greet some of the industry's top developers, leaders, and influencers."

Xbox FanFest tickets will be available from the flagship Microsoft Store on Pitt Street in Sydney, starting 10:30AM AEST on September 27. They will be limited to the first 250 people to line up, and restricted to one ticket per person. Attendees must be over 18 years of age with valid government-issued proof of ID.

This will not be the first Xbox FanFest to take place--Microsoft previously held FanFest events at E3 and Gamescom this year. Xbox Australia will be revealing more FanFest activities to ticket holders over the week.
