Someone mind explaining to me how the concerts works? I have figured out that you need to line up for a wrist band.
I have a couple of questions though.
1. They will have concerts Friday and Saturday. Will they have lines for wristbands for each show, or just one time?
2. Last year there was one concert I think, so I guess they had one line and people lined up early. How long did you have to spend in line for the concert wristband? When did people start lining up and when did they hand out wristbands? I don't want to miss too much of PAX to get a wristband.
I'm just curious how they are going to do it this year. There is no way I'm going to miss the Minibosses though, so I plan to get in line early.
*edit*- Sorry, I had this in another thread and decided it was too unrelated and made a new thread. Hope you guys don't mind helping out a PAX noob.

I see that it opens at 10am. Do they hand out the wristbands while people are in line before 10am or just hand them to people on their way in once they open the doors?
I appreciate all the help guys. I've been trying to see the Minibosses for the last 3 years in VA and had a serious conflict each time and there is no way I'm going to miss them at PAX
If you are concerned about getting a wristband, yes.

edit: bah, beaten to the punch
This guy wins the thread.
My friend who is coming with me is looking forward to seeing Freezepop.
Wristbands are for that night only-- Red's too busy locked away in BYOC to know that part for sure.
I am dealing in wristbands this year since BYOC attendees get a garunteed one.
:o HAX!
not really. This year BYOC will have a separate line, since they wont be in the main line that would kind of screw them out of the wristbands for concerts.
Solution?
Give them all a wristband.

Yeah it does. Next time if that happens bitch very loudly to any enforcer/wsctc staffer you see.
the majority of them are given off at the start of the day, then the last third or so are given out throughout the day.
For the best chance at getting one you should line up early.
Yeah, we're not the sort of people to do that.
A large group of us were amongst those at the campout for Wii preorders when they started in downtown Seattle, and we were at the front of the line. We had two people try to get in front of us when the main doors opened, saying we weren't inside like they were (when the security there told us we had to stay outside) and we basically ran those two sons of bitches out on rails.
We respect the line.

For an extra $25 it's not too much to ask for a LITTLE special treatmeant
So you were 14th in line for something they were giving out 200 of? Not that I don't agree with you, those people that cut were total asses. Still, you were not at risk of not getting one, from the way I read your story... Was there something special for the first 5 people to get one?
Again, to be absolutely clear, I do agree that those people were asses, and it obviously screwed 10-12 people at the back of the line.
We were in the no-wristband line because we woke up too late.
None of this has been mentioned anywhere else that I can find - not even in the thread for PAX newbs; it's like it's assumed everyone will know about it.
There will be people lining up before pax opens, even though they already have their badges. The main reason for that this year is to get the concert wristbands.
The majority of them will be given out (like 2/3rd's of them or so) to the opening line, and throughout the day there will be another handout of them.
I didnt see it last year but i heard there was a sign that said times when the next round of wristbands would be given out.
So if you want a wristband, you have to lineup early or lineup at the times they are handed out.
There is a second line for them.
You obviously want the first line, yes you still have to wait in line if you want a good chance at a wristband. Get there early and make sure your DS or other portable gaming device has a full charge
Are you talking about the special guest/omeganauts? minutes before the concert they're allowed in. I was a special guest last year, and so I didn't have to wait in line. They announced omeganauts/special guests to go to the concert. no line, just pushed to the front.
Yes but dont know if that info can be public. Poke khoo about it
I just know wristbands will be in short supply like every year. There is not near enough to go around.
They had normal passes, so nope.
oh okay. I was going to say "SORRY DUDE! THEY TOLD ME TO GO!"
