YouTube OnStage will be limited to registered VidCon attendees, but even among that group, tickets to the show are not guaranteed. Instead, YouTube will use a lottery to determine who gets to go to its big blowout. If you’re interested in the forthcoming festivities, you can enter the lottery until June 2, and if you still need a VidCon ticket, you can pick one up here.
