I've never been to PAX before, but I ordered my three day pass this year to go for the first time. The badge came in the mail, as well as a packet of stuff. I looked it over, saw no identification on it, saw that it was a bunch of info about PAX, so I tossed it - after all, it's just generic information, and I have my badge. Well, now all over the site it says I need both my badge and my "pre-reg" packet to get in. Wha...?
I saw nothing on that pamphlet of info that looked at all unique or important. Is it actually required to get in?
The pre-reg pack and the swag bag are different things.
All you need to get into the show is your badge. The Pre-reg packet is, as you said, info and content re: PAX. You don't NEED it, but it's sometimes handy to have.
My "pre-reg pack" consisted of:
Pax Badge
A welcome letter (one-sided) that mentioned the Main theater change to Benaroya Hall, a drawing of the locations, and the show hours.
An ad for a Dolby Axon Surround Sound Giveaway -info at booth 612 or dolby.com/PAX2010.
