Tickets for the show are going on sale via email to Los Angeles Fortnite locals until all 3,000 seats are sold, so access will be fairly limited even if you happen to be in town for E3. But if you’re around and nabbed a Pro-Am ticket, then just head to booth 2723 in the South Hall of the LA Convention Center to watch the action.
If you’re stuck streaming with the rest of us, the Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am will be broadcast to just about every website under the sun.
