Win Tickets to our Exclusive FINAL FANTASY Event!

 

FINAL FANTASY wouldn't be what it is today without the support of our fans. To celebrate the 25th Anniversary we're holding an exclusive event for Square Enix Members at the Royal Albert Hall in London where the lucky attendees can enjoy all things FINAL FANTASY with the Square Enix family.

 

Music (In the Elgar Room)

An intimate chamber music performance of FINAL FANTASY music including Nobuo Uematsu (keyboards) and Arnie Roth (violin) performing FINAL FANTASY VI: Dark World as soloists, with selected musicians of the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. 

 

Meet and Greet

Meet and chat with FINAL FANTASY composers Nobuo Uematsu and Masashi Hamauzu, and Distant Worlds Conductor Arnie Roth. Have your photo taken with all three performers.

 

Art Gallery

Marvel at some of the most iconic and beautiful FINAL FANTASY images in our gallery.

 

Games

Rekindle your favourite FINAL FANTASY moments in our Live Game Library. Play and share in the FINAL FANTASY nostalgia with likeminded fans.

 

Applicants must be 16 years of age or older and residents of either the UK, France, Germany or Spain. The event will be held at the Royal Albert Hall on the 2nd November from 10am - 1.30pm. 75 pairs of tickets are available and the winners will be chosen at random. For your chance to win a free pair of tickets apply here.

Il solito problema, gli italiani non vengono considerati!

good luck everyone. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that these games are a huge part of our lives. Final Fantasy gave me the escape I needed in my darkest times and honestly kept me alive. I know some of you are the same and hope some lucky fans are able to win this great event! - good luck peeps!
+ Sephiroths_mum - 10/10/2012 00:42
is it entry to the competition that is over 16s? or entry to the event itself? As the applicant, I am over 16 but my 10 year old Munchkin (who will be dressed as a chocobo) and I are going to the Distant Worlds concert that evening and she'd love to be able to go to this too if we were to win tickets. (assuming my luck is it's usual dismal state and I have no hope of winning, can tickets to this event be bought elsewhere? since I notice that the competition is for a 'free' pair of tickets- this would be cool, also coz then hubby doesn't get left outside too!)
+ Ben Bateman - 10/10/2012 14:30
This is a criteria of entering the competition itself. The guest (your +1) however won't need to be over 16 as long as there's a consenting adult.
+ Miingno - 09/10/2012 05:34
I was so excited when I read about that chance to win tickets! But then I saw that I am not allowed to take part in it because I live in Switzerland... Oh well.. I'll just come anyway and look through the windows~
+ Ben Bateman - 10/10/2012 15:13
That comment made me feel bad. Sorry you can't apply, it's because of the complexities in creating competitions and terms & conditions that accommodate all the different laws.
+ Ellythrion - 08/10/2012 21:40
Is there any availability for press accreditation to this event?
+ Ben Bateman - 09/10/2012 11:26
No, this is a exclusive event that we're hosting just for the fans.
+ Sarapon - 08/10/2012 19:47
Now I noticed about this great opportunity to attend this magnific event! (^O^)
Good luck to everyone!

kupóoo ^^
+ asakura111 - 08/10/2012 19:42
Im already going to the evening show but this would just be amazing :D tried buying vip tickets but they sold out :( Would love to meet Nobou he has inspired my music so much. Good luck to everyone ... but not too much luck because I want to win hehe ;)
+ Mohamm - 08/10/2012 18:11
I read a few days after last year's concert that there was one in Albert Hall which I missed, and I also missed a chance to get the tickets at this concert. Ben do they have a Distant Worlds event at Great Albert Hall/London every year?

Of course this year is going to be big because of the anniversary.
+ Mohamm - 08/10/2012 18:02
Thank God there is some hope, I was going to go with a friend to the concert but tickets sold out :(
I live just a train away so I'm really hoping I win one of those 75 pairs :D
Been playing through a lot of games recently (and replaying), completed VI a few nights ago, played XIII-2 DLC, played a bit of VII, III and I the other day, also completed IV and IX during the summer. Also I am still a hardcore player on Dissidia (rebought it as well on VITA) so I will enjoy listening to natural music this time on top of the amazing digital soundtracks I have.

Best of luck everyone :)
+ XISeraphireXIV - 08/10/2012 17:56
What a fantastic way to spend the morning. Definitely gonna top last years XIII-2 show case! Good luck everyone!
+ Ruyina - 08/10/2012 17:26
Ahh perfect! Thank you link, Ben -- huge relief!
+ SmarioB - 08/10/2012 16:58
Will be coming from France especially for the evening concert, so really hope I get to see this one too! Good luck everyone!
+ Ruyina - 08/10/2012 16:52
Oh how wonderful! Good luck to everyone who entered, I've thought about it myself but I do need to ask: as someone who may be wheelchair bound would this event be able to cater to my needs? I can manage my chair on my own, of course but I don't know if there is anything specific that would need to be considered.
+ Ben Bateman - 08/10/2012 17:18
From what I can tell on the Royal Albert Hall website you shouldn't have any difficulties with accessibility. Take a look at the following URL and if you need any more information I'll investigate on your behalf.

Yay! already going to Distant worlds on nov. 2nd as my birthday treat, to win this would complete this day even more!
+ Eros-Lanith - 08/10/2012 16:16
Out of interest, are these tickets in the winners name? Will I need photo ID on the door if I were to win?
+ ChronoSpain - 08/10/2012 15:19
Great!!
\\(^o^)//
+ Lightningsan - 08/10/2012 15:18
I assume travel to and from the event must be made by the person who has won the tickets and not payed for by Square-Enix? I live quite close, but just to clear things up for others wanting to go, what is the plan?
+ Ben Bateman - 08/10/2012 15:56
We cannot provide transport or accommodation, sorry.
+ Hyne012 - 08/10/2012 15:11
As many others outside of the mentioned countries, I can't apply.

It is an unfortunate position both Square Enix Europe and we, the fans outside of the big 5, are. I can only hope that some day these obstacles are overcome.

Celebrate Final Fantasy, because 25-year anniversary really is something special. May you have a great experience at the event.
+ KouYoona - 08/10/2012 14:40
I no longer reside in the UK... But I still support SE EU.. Because it is one of the best community site for the fans I'd every been to... Everyone here is lively, rational and kind.. Anyhow, I guess am going to miss this big time.. Sobs... :(

Well, may those lucky one have a great time.. And May the goddess of Etro bless you guys!! :D
+ CherryxAngel - 08/10/2012 14:15
This sounds amazing! What a fantastic opportunity~
Good luck to everyone!
+ sechsterangriff - 08/10/2012 13:52
Congratulations for this great idea! Though I expect a lot of people attending the concert come from all over Europe. It may be too restricting to only allow people from only 4 countries. :(
+ Ben Bateman - 08/10/2012 14:38
Unfortunately this is simply down to the logistics of running a competition that applies to each territories laws. We we're unable to provide a solution that would work for more territories in the time given, especially as this is a UK event.
+ Lornabee - 08/10/2012 13:51
This sounds amazing. Fingers crossed! (:
+ Loony_BoB - 08/10/2012 13:05
Oh, wow, this is immense! I'll have to shift my holiday for this but ******, it'll be worth it. Here's hoping I get some tickets. x_x Excited! And just two days before I see Distant Worlds in Edinburgh, too! My girlfriend and I were gutted Nobuo wasn't going to be in Edinburgh, but this would make up for it, big time. :)
+ Mad_Angel - 08/10/2012 13:03
Congratulation for the awesome competition. Too bad I do not reside on those cool European countries... Good luck for everyone, I'm sure it will be a memorable event.
+ Meelee1 - 08/10/2012 13:01
Ahhh! Would be a fantastic opportunity to go to the FF events! This game is like my childhood game! I really really want To go!:(
+ Mellwood - 08/10/2012 12:50
Great competition, would be such an honour to meet Uematsu, Hamauzu and Mr. Roth. Keeping my fingers crossed!
+ RedCircus - 08/10/2012 12:43

When does the winners get announced? :)
+ Ben Bateman - 08/10/2012 11:42
