Yes, you can.

2pm to 2am Friday 10am to 2am Saturday 10am to 7pm Sunday (I think I have those right) OK so if Friday start's at 2PM, and my group would not be able to make it until 5-6PM that day (we will be staying the weekend), is there anything we'd be missing out on? I've never been to a PAX before but I had seen some chatter about concerts being limited attendance w/ wristbands handed out. Would we still be able to get into the concerts showing up mid-way through on Friday?

Atlus has one in the works. But it won't be Hogwarts themed. That will be exclusive to Seattle. But ... we have the Harry Potter exhibit at the MOS ... haha I live in Boston and I've run quite a few bar crawls. I normally shoot for 14-hour affairs that span the city, but that seems excessive given that PAX will be going on ... Want some help planning? I love planning a good crawl ...

The main theater has a limited capacity compared to the whole of the convention center, so wristbands are handed out to the first x number of people. Typically, concerts aren't impossible to get into without a wristband, although you might miss the first set.

Looking through FAQ's and saw the thing about M rated games, so if im 15 i wont be able to play game demos for M rated games? Can i watch panels or presentations about M rated games?

You may get asked to show some proof of age (i.e. state issued ID or Passport). If the exhibitors are strictly following ESRB ratings, you probably won't get to demo the M games.

A few friends and I were planning on attending our first PAX in Boston, but we're all either 15 or 16. As far as I've read there's no way minors can stay unaccompanied in hotels or youth hostels. Is there any word on how other teens are managing to stay in Boston?

With friends or with adults willing to risk assuming the responsibility of a bunch of under 18s as they will be the ones officially on the hotel register and liable for any issues.

Hey, I just noticed an inconsistency. (I don't know if this is the right place to bring it up). On the front page of registration it says that early bird rates are available until December 31, but on the form itself it says November 29. Which is correct and can the other be fixed? Thanks!

The form will be fixed! The early bird cutoff date for PAX East is December 31st!

Oh thats good. I'm trying to get someone to buy me my pass for christmas, but if it doesn't work out, I'll still have a few days to get mine.

I have looked on the forums and done a search, but have come up empty handed. I am looking for a way to apply to be a Enforcer at pax east. Is the applications still running around and being excepted?

The Penny Arcade authorities usually call for sign-ups for enforcers once or twice, much closer to the event. Check the PA website.

Gabe's post, 3rd one down, is exactly what you're looking for http://www.penny-arcade.com/2009/11/4/

so is there not going to be a pax in washington next year?

There most certainly will be, Sept 3-5 http://www.paxsite.com/paxprime/

I'd volunteer as an Enforcer, but my wife would kill me if I dropped $800 on a hotel for a weekend of working for no munnies.

awesome. i was gettin kinda nervous there lol

2pm to 2am Friday 10am to 2am Saturday 10am to 7pm Sunday (I think I have those right) The registration page shows it opening at 10 on Friday. Was that just accidentally carried over from Prime or is it correct?

The hours on the registration page are wrong and will be changed. The Exhibit floor opens at 2:00pm on Friday! Edit: Everything is fixed now!

Anyone on here who uses those points you can collect from drinking Coke should know you can use them toward discounts on hotel reservations too. They have a system now called MCRPointsPlus where you cash in Coke points toward stuff and pay the difference, including hotel reservations. 3 hotels near the convention participate, 2 of them don't offer discounts that beat the PAX-Site hotels offers, BUT oddly the Hilton Boston Back Bay is showing rates for Fri & Sat starting at $149 per night (the PAX discount is showing $189). And by cashing in 500 points I was able to get my Friday down to $104. And we're talking basically on the same city block as PAX! They still base your tax on the full room rate (before deducting via Coke Points) which kinda sucks; also you can cancel up to 5 days before without penalty.

Can any locals comment on Hotel 140? All I need is a place to sleep, nothing fancy or expensive. EDIT: Nevermind. Pricelined the Sheraton. See you all there.

I'm pretty excited to attend this. I've been dreaming of going to a convention for a long time now. Now that PAX is in the East, I'm pumped. I'm disappointed that I don't have friends that like video games as much as I do, so I'll only be going with my brother :/ How convenient that it's in Boston and I live only a city away! I hope that being 16 won't make this any less fun.

I think you will have a ton of fun Trag! Besides games rated MA there is no age restricted content at PAX East. I know of several people under the age of 18 who enjoy PAX yearly in Seattle (I'm looking at you Snifit and Ty.)

Just want to be sure, I purchased early bird stuff way back and got emailed my Pax East 2010 Badges To get in I just need to print these badges off and show them at the front correct?
