PAX Prime 2014 - Prepare Yourselves

While we longingly gaze up to the stars in wait of the Destiny Beta, and later it's eventual release, there is an equally pressing event fast approaching. With the conclusion of PAX East just yesterday the sleeping Goliath has begun waking up. Historically PAX badges go on sale sometime after PAX East, and if the last years have been any indication of the trends, they're going to go lightning quick this year. It's time to turn your gaze down from the heavens and towards your computer screens. Plan on going to PAX this year? Say hi, join the group, and bake me a cake (why not?). I'll try to keep this thread as up-to-date as I can, and I'll try to give as much notification as I can about when the PAX Badges go on sale (I'm *usually* pretty good at catching them). Message me or post here if you'd like to be added to my PM list for when badges go on sale. I can't promise anything, but like I said, usually I'm very good at catching it. In the mean time, recount your past PAX conquests and your future plans. I look forward to seeing you all in August and bringing the Communi7y Army together again. EDIT: It seems a Penny Arcade user has made a handy little spreadsheet: [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AilPyWyh2FlbdGtjaG1pYjlMWENKaEdxY2dGRU95V1E&usp=sharing#gid=0]Look at me! :D[/url] EDIT EDIT: So we're in uncharted waters here. PAX badges have never been sold this late, so I honestly have no educated guess anymore as to when they'll possibly go on sale. The best advice I can give all of you is to keep an eye on the PAX Prime website. When things start changing, like last years ads and articles going down, maybe some styles too, whatever, expect that badges will go on sale either that day, or very close to it. Other then that, make sure you've got SMS alerts on Twitter for @Official_Pax, they always tweet when badges go on sale, though you'll need to act quick.

  • Well..hopefully RTX will be awesome enough to replace my loss of Pax incredibleness.

    • Of course they were on sale while I was at work. Couldn't even snag a Monday pass. What a bummer.

    • Went on sale literally right after my work shift started. Son of a bitch.

        Geez, almost didnt get passes. I didn't have my card on me at the time, and Prime doesn't accept paypal. I had to have my Dad text me [i]his[/i] card info. I refreshed the registration page almost immediately before [u]and [/u] after the tweet went out, and the page still said "Soon", which is a definite improvement over last year, where the text came minutes after the site was updated. I only had to wait in the queue for about 4 or 5 minutes (exited queue at around 10:22), but 4 day badges were already sold out. I had all 4 single days in the cart while I waited for my card numbers, but got kicked out because of the timer. When I [i]did[/i] get the text, I got the wrong number of passes, so I had to go back to correct it, and then when I checked out, Saturday was sold out (said "unable to place order of Saturdays"), but when I used the back button (again) it said Friday and Sunday was sold out, and not Saturday. It only let me get one, so I assume it came from someone who timed out or canceled at checkout. I got a Saturday and Monday passes, so I'll have to buy the other days on Craigslist/eBay later this year. This has gone much better than last year, where I didn't get any passes, especially considering I got this years passes on my phone, with crappy cell signal.

            • According to @rkhoo, tickets won't go on sale until next week. Damn. It's been, what? 2 weeks since the site updated? This refreshing is seriously wearing me out. Whatever happened to passes going on sale the day after the site is updated???

              • I'm laying odds on Friday, staggered burst. I hope they do a staggered burst, anyways. Seems like opening sales, closing, then opening later, rinse and repeat might give more people a fair chance at getting into the queue for tickets.

                  • Welp, booked my flight last night. And it's non-refundable. Looks like I'll be in Seattle to hang out whether I get PAX badges or not.

                    • Foman just talked me into going regardless of a badge. Better start looking into flights and miniature Jack Daniels bottles for said flight.

                    • Probably going to miss out on the tickets. I am unable to keep a cellphone on me at work, so I was hoping they would have gone on sale yesterday or today when I was able to at least periodically check the site, but Thursday and Friday are crunch days, so I won't have that liberty. Maybe I'll get really lucky, but chances are I'm probably going to have to pay the scalper's prices.

                          • I've good feeling about badges going on sale this week. Also, this week will be exactly one month since the conclusion of PAX East,which is usually a sign.

                            • OP has been updated with relevant information in regards to badge sales. Like I said in the OP, I have no idea when things are going to go up now because we've ventured away from what is normal for them. Best of luck to all of you, and I hope you all get your hands on the badges you require. I'll still be gunning to get a small handful of them so I can pass them off to you guys, but with how unpredictable things are this year, I've got absolutely no way to guarantee anything.

                              • I've been interested in PAX Before. I'll probably go when I'm a senior or in college, got a lot on my plate this year... Is it really that fun? Seems a lot of people are getting pretty hyped about it
