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!
PAX East 2011 BYOC Info/FAQ - SOLD OUT!
Posts
Oooo... someone might clock you for that .6" overflow... that's how Facebook gets you, periodic small changes so you'll notice less. Ima be sure to bring my ruler =P
I think these should go in the OP, else people will ask 10x over....
There is no problem, you will have to be the one to pick them up though
So in theory, you could have a ticket transfer on the order of "I bought a BYOC badge in my name, I get it in the mail, I give it to the person who needs it before PC check-in Friday morning."
I don't like the idea of scalping, but I do like the idea of someone who may not be able to go being able to give their badge to a dedicated BYOC'er from years past who didn't get one this time. I understand the registration system is run by Intel for our benefit, and in general it's great... but I would like it better if you could transfer passes as easily as you can the PAX badges.
EDIT: Did I forget a step where you have to pick up your BYOC badge by name at the checkin? Sorry, I participated in last year's check-in steps under duress. Need to find out how my friend tribunal88 is doing.
The no transfers allowed was my call. Sorry it can inconvenience people but we had to shut down the scalping when we could. The Intel system (and the fact you gotta pick up badges day of) let us get rid of 95% (its super effective!) of the scalping that was going on. It would be nice if transfers were easy but as you have seen the Scalpers have ruined that for everyone else. It has worked well for the 3 PAXes it has been in effect on so far.
You can still get a refund for your ticket for what you paid for it up until a week before the event and those tickets will go back into the general pool for anyone to buy. This is the most fair solution for everyone.
Now I need to hope someone gets a refund at the exact moment Im checking the registration page..
PM me if you plan on refunding a BYOC
What would be nice if someone that is refunding a ticket could tell us on the forum when it is being done so it could be a F5 race to get it.
What I dislike about this system is that there are people that buy tickets for events but never show. So there will be empty and wasted seats that someone else would really like to have.
Thanks for understanding.
Which doesn't make sense at all....I thought check in was earlier than Exhibit, or was this only for last year?

Now back to building this 8bit PC so I can have it done if I by chance catch the site at the right time.
thanks
(other Intel LANfest events have before, not PAX though)
the rules state:
So you will be unable to bring such a power supply unless you had 2 tickets bought for yourself.
Although be warned that seat reservations are only held for a few hours after doors open, your group will have to get there before then (say.. 2pm on Friday)

With Paragon's refund it will put the # right at 216.
You are going to have to wait for another refund to be able to snatch up a ticket
Is this the page that will open back up:
https://lanfest.intel.com/?page=event&sub=register&eventid=1581
I will create a parse script tomorrow to email me when this opens back up so I can stop stressing out.
