Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[EAST] PAX East registration is live! - 3 Day, Friday and Saturday Passes Sold Out
Posts
[edit] Whoops. Just realized that the tickets are mailed to you. Last year I had to buy my tickets much later so I didn't know.
probably about when they reach 90%, unless they sell out from under them before they can give people a heads up.
Which really means, buy your passes ASAP because you can never really know WHEN they will all be gone.
this is still a good question for those who do wind up buying later, or international folks who don't do fedex. i'm curious to know the answer, if anyone had this situation last year.
Any passes purchased after the mailing deadline, or passes purchased for international folks who don't opt for FedEx, can be picked up Thursday afternoon (provided we do this again this year) or during the show proper.

Wait, what? If you look at jaberwockynmt's link, you can see that PAX 07 had 0.66 people per square meter, and was actually MORE crowded than any PAX which has followed. PAX East 2011 was essentially the lowest density PAX ever at 0.27 people per square meter (essentially tying the pre-historic 2004). If PAX 2007 really was the "best ever," it wasn't because they had more space.
This year, if there really were 20% more passes sold, we should have a density of 0.32 people per square meter. Who made that graphic, anyway? It's awesome, but I'd love to see it updated with PAX Prime 2011 attendance figures.
SERIOUSLY. i have been checking the site obsessively, impatiently awaiting a schedule. the only thing more exciting than the schedule release is actually arriving at pax. i can't wait!
Question: A friend on another forum/game clan I am a part of can no longer attend. I forwarded her the money she needed, and she forwarded me her confirmation email which I used to change the name and address on the pass, is that ok? This will be a second pass, for a friend who were are helping fund to get to PAX. I changed the address yesterday, just want to be sure it gets out in time.
Are you saying you physically have a badge? That would make you the first person claiming to have one around here I think... and that would make that whole transaction seem a bit suspect?
No, badges have not been mailed yet. I think he means that he already has one of his own on order.

That's.... likely an ok transaction. However there may not be anything to stop her from just changing it back to herself. Mutual trust is a key component to making something like this work. You could email pax_questions@paxsite.com for an official answer.

I could have sworn that there was a way to transfer passes between people before they were mailed out (and securely, through legitimate, official, channels). Did this get nixed with the increased counterfeiting issues?
Yes it did
Well, phooey.
There isn't a link to get refunds. The best anyone can do is email pax_questions@paxsite.com and plead their case for a refund. It says right on the registration page: "no refunds".

Thankfully, we have another friend who CAN attend in his stead. But does anyone know how he can successfully claim that pass?
Can our original friend, like, copy his passport or something, and explain that This Other Specifically-Named Dude Will Be Claiming instead?
Unfortunately not. It's too late to change the name on the pass registration.
I can even have the current pass owner record an embarassing video of himself with photo ID and the guy who's supposed to be picking it up. We're pretty desperate over here.
I will make said friend record the embarassing video anyway.
Honestly, I'm just super-impressed at how well they've managed to handle their end of PAX all the time.
