Title: 2015 MTV2 Fandom Awards and Fan Fest-- Thursday July 9th
Post by: frgx on June 15, 2015, 10:19:52 PM
"YOU COULD BE AT THE FANDOM AWARDS!"--


It was first reported back in November 2014 that the MTV Fan Fest would be returning to SDCC in 2015, and since then, not a lot of information has been released about the event.

http://sdccblog.com/2014/11/mtv2s-fandom-awards-set-to-return-to-san-diego-comic-con-2015/

I just noticed over at mtv.com that there is a contest to win tickets to the 2015 Fan Fest--

"MTV and LG want to give you the chance to fly to San Diego, CA for an exclusive Behind the Fandom Awards experience at Fan Fest to see the great and feel the great!

Hopefully we'll be getting more info about the event soon.

I've been told we're getting an announcement this week. Press apps for the event are open (though they haven't even confirmed if they're returning to Petco, though we all assume they are).

Voting opened up for the Fandom Awards. Gives us an idea of the celebrities that might show up for it.

The official press release confirms it will be at Petco Park. No surprise there. No word yet about any bands or singers scheduled to perform.

"MTV  today announced that Tyler Posey ("Teen Wolf") and Bella Thorne ("Scream") are set to host the second annual "MTV Fandom Awards," which honors diehard fans whose tenacious excitement has pushed movies, TV shows, books and comics from subculture to mainstream worldwide success in the past year.

This year's hosts will join the party at the network's "MTV Fandom Fest," a free party at Petco Park open to all Comic Con badge holders featuring food, drinks, games and giveaways, on Thursday, July 9. The day-long fan event will lead into the taping of the "MTV Fandom Awards Special," which will premiere Sunday, July 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV."

Really curious who they get to perform for this.  I don't know if there was any more perfect band for the Comic Con crowd than Linkin Park last year.

Anyone who went last year, how was it?

I went last year and it was fun. The awards show was a bit of a disaster and the wait for the band was long, however the free drinks (2 I think) and free food item was nice :) it was worth it!

@Vapors

iogpysch was right it was a little disorganized and late but..............

It was insanely fun!!  The crowd was chill (attitude wise, bananas concert wise) and was packed.  I went with Dolphina and we were right at the front of the stage and we saw some GOT folks, Chloe Grace Moretz, cast of Teen Wolf and some others i'm struggling to remember. 

Linkin Park was on point and that was easily the funnest night I had during the con.

I missed this last year because I arrived late.  About what time should we start lining up, I'll be in SD but not sure where in SD and would like to know when to get there so I don't miss it.  If you want to pm me instead to let me know that's fine too.

Maybe All Time Low will be performing? They (or their fans, I guess) are nominated for a Fandom Award.
They played the Her Universe Fashion Show after party at SDCC last year and liked it, and their tour schedule is open for the whole first half of July.

I have nothing but my gut to go on, but I've been telling my friend for weeks that I think Fall Out Boy will be playing this. It's the right kind of band. The guys are touring right now, but they have a week off on their schedule which would coincide perfectly.

(And yes, this is mostly wishful thinking from me, because I'm missing their tour date in my home town because of SDCC.  :P)

It would be cool but they are in Michigan on Friday. It's possible but might be difficult for their gear? Not sure how they do that, if they use other instruments or fly their stuff? I guess we'll see!!!

Ohmygod I didn't even think of that. Please let that be the case!! I don't think I'll be able to make it to my "local" tour date either but I want to see them again!!

Bands do fly out with their crew and equipment for stuff like this, and fly to their next city right afterward. It wouldn't be too hard. Especially since sound and lighting should be taken care of by MTV, so they'd really just need their instruments and maybe some other basic equipment.

I don't know, I've kind of thought One Direction since the beginning since their concert is that night too.  It could be like a simulcast kinda deal where they stream videos of 1-2 songs for us and use that in their awards footage.  Awards shows have done it in the past.  Especially since One Direction is nominated for an award.  That might be why they haven't announced a band; because there wouldn't actually be a band present.  I guess it all depends on LiveNation or whoever is promoting One Direction's tour and their venue, etc.

I guess that's possible, although it would be a completely different vibe than last year. Maybe it was just me, but I thought most of the crowd last year was there for the live music. Take that away and I don't think the crowd comes out.

It's MTV, free food and drinks with celebrities on a stage.....the crowd will come out. The crowd comes out for absolutely ANY free thing at SDCC. I hope you guys get a band right there in-person too, but I could see them trying the "live from across town" One Direction thing. It'd be pretty efficient!

Post by: frgx on June 27, 2015, 09:36:01 PM
I doubt that they'll do a simulcast of One Direction. At the most, MTV could have a taped segment where the band accepts their award, that is, if they actually end up winning their category.

Also, I've been assuming that MTV has been "late" announcing bands. But I looked at their 2013 announcement and it was made on July 15th-- that was just three days before the Party in the Park which was on the 18th.

MTV would have to get the broadcast rights to the concert. Considering that this is airing on a Sunday night I don't see that happening.

I've seen updates today about the time for this event, but no mention of live music at all. In fact, they're promoting, "food, drinks, games and giveaways."  My strong bet is now no live bands. Saves me some time, I guess, although the Linkin Park set last year was one of the highlights of our week.

Does anyone remember what the schedule was like last year?  In terms of when performances were in span of awards show?

This would be the week to announce an act, so I'd still hold out hope... unless schedule has drastically changed.

If memory serves, they had awards for about an hour, G Easy played about a 6-song set, then gave out awards for about another half hour, then Linkin Park played a 7 or 8-song set.

The SDCC Unofficial blog just reported that All Time Low and Flo Rida will be performing at the MTV Fanfest this year. For me personally, I will probably skip it, just not as impressed as last year with Linkin Park, but hey, that is just me, I'm sure there will be others who will be happy.

Thanks for the info. I'd been away from the computer for a few hours. We like All Time Low, but didn't go out of our way to see them in Charlotte a couple months ago (I think it was the exact same day we had tickets to see The Who) and I can't see that announcement swaying us to hit this event.

Took a bit of a listen to All Time Low, and their music doesn't do much for me.  Flo Rida is good to be at a club, but I don't think I'm that into his music to make a commitment to this.  Too bad, this year looked like I was free to try this out.

I think these tickets are for "super-fans". They want a bunch of screaming girls up at the front of the stage so the show seems more exciting and party-like. It's like a VIP ticket because these people are guaranteed to get in.

I'm pretty sure there will still be a line to get in for the rest of us.

It also says that it is 18+, my 17 yr old daughter is not going to be happy, she attended last year and had a blast. I'm surprised they are requiring tickets this close to it.

I do not understand why they are doing this. Was there really that big of an issue last year that they felt they needed to do tickets this time? And the whole lining up at 5 is not cool.

They probably tried to do that last year http://friendsofcci.com/forum/index.php?topic=3230.msg86314#msg86314 although they probably abandoned the idea.

Last year some of us saw this

but you didn't need it to get into the gate.

Someone needs to build a time machine for transport back to the 80's. I'd be in line for that.  :)

There was a long line last year. I suspect they are trying to attract a certain crowd for tv?

I just heard that the tickets are for 30 super fans but that we'll still be able to get in like last year with badges. Now I'm super confused.

I think it's for either a VIP thing or the Superfan award.

Per Sdcc Unofficial Blog - they reached out to MTV and it is line up, first come first served as it has been in the past.

For the people who got in last year, do you mind me asking what time you all started lining up? We started too late last year and got turned away.

Looking at their twitter it just says they reached out but haven't seen them post anything about getting anything official back from them. Just speculation that the info is wrong.

Though the link in the email says they're looking for "30 super fans" unless its a typo for 300 its probably just a special VIP thing. I haven't seen anything else about this except the 1iota email however.

"Think, Likely and believe" is different from "we know".  It's probably like last year there's just isn't a confirmation that it is.

Okay, so it's not confirmed from MTV so we will use "probably". But I can't find anywhere that someone is supposed to get tickets.

I think I was in line around 6:00 and I was all the way around the block.

Questions--

Were there places to sit in the Park? I don't think I can stand around for long periods of time. Was there any place near the stage for people to sit and enjoy the concert?

Did they do anything about ADA entry, or did everyone have to wait in the same long line?

Still debating if I want to do this.

I'm not sure about ADA but there were people sitting on a grassy hill-like area last year.

Theres no designated sitting. You can try to sit on the grassy hill but theres going to be people standing so it might be difficult to see depending on the area.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping for bleachers or maybe an ADA area like they have at Coachella.
Maybe I can bring a camp chair? They probably wouldn't allow it though.  :-\

I sat in the grassy area last year as I had been on my feet all day and didn't care about being near the stage.  For the most part everyone around us stayed seated.  I didn't have a problem seeing and stayed seated the whole time. We were at the very top of the hill.
