I know its over, but I've always enjoyed collecting passes to events/concerts I've attended. I know theres quite a few for PAX. I have the 3 day pass. I need a pass for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Enforcer(I'd like a shirt too, 3xl), Exhibiter, VIP, and whichever other ones there were. :mrgreen: Any help would be appreciated.

    Good luck getting an Enforcer shirt. We don't like parting with those. :D

    Don't forget the BYOC, Musical/Special Guest, and the super-rare ALL-ACCESS Pass!

    If I'm remembering properly, here's the collection you need:

    - 3-day (red)
    - Friday (white)
    - Saturday (blue)
    - Sunday (green)
    - BYOC (orange)
    - Media (yellow)
    - Enforcer (black)
    - Exhibitor (pink)
    - Speaker (sky blue)
    - Special Guest (light blue)
    - VIP (lime green)

    Apparently there's an All Access badge, a Musical Guest badge, and an Omeganaut badge? I didn't see any of those.

    There are 32 Omeganaut badges, each with a different name written on them. And All Access passes—the only place I saw those were on Gabe & Tycho themselves. But this is a cool collection idea.

    ETA: Also, I'm fairly certain that the bands just had regular VIP passes.

    bands just had the lime VIP badges that I saw. Khoo also had an all access pass. The omeganaut badges were the same size as the all access passes and were worn over the 3 day pass.

    There's also, technically, the disabilities pass, which, while not technically a pass, had to be worn to be used.

    You have to be a part of the media, with credentials. You send them a copy/scan of your ID, plus stuff like business cards, plus a letter of approval from your boss/editor on company stationary, plus an example of your work. If you really are a member of the game/technology media it isn't difficult.

    By ID, do you mean like, Drivers License?

    For the record the All Access pass is on all PA Staff. Alas if i recall it also has there photo on it. They use it over and over if not mistaken so not likely will you get one of them.

    I know. I only have 1 pass as I've only been to 1 PAX, but I always save my passes/tickets to any events I go to.

    Yes, or a state-issued ID card, or passport, or something official like that.

    So here's the list. If you're wondering why I'm looking for passes, it's all in a vain attempt to bling out a Fallout 3 costume with various Red, Yellow, White, Pink, Green, and other lovely colored keycards. Also, of anyone lives in the Seattle area and has a spare tire, slashed, flat, whatever works, so do retreads, and any traffic/street signs are neeeed as well!
    PAX 2005 - All except 3-day
    PAX 2006 - All except 3-day
    PAX 2007 - All except 3-day
    PAX 2008 - All except 3-day
    PAX 2009 -3-day, Sunday, All others.
    PAX East 2010 - All

    Go ahead and PM me, reply in the thread, or whatev, both work fine.

    Badges printed with my name I tend to keep (don't know why). But just blank badges... nah. I can't imagine keeping them around. Now, my wife's media badge we're keeping and I'm going to frame it for her since it was her first event with media credentials!
