Thanks, Moe!
A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion
[Coincidentally, last year at PAX Prime I got a fever from the PAX... but that was H1N(erd)1 which they tell me is different.]
PAX Prime '09 - H1N(erd)1 Survivor - Never Forget (Your Hand Sanitizer)
PAX Prime '14 Omeganaut - Result: KO in 3rd Round (Damn you, Super Avalanche 2!)
From the FAQ: Group discounts are available for 3-day passes only. If you've got a group of 20 or more people interested in 3-Day Badges, feel free to send an email to rkhoo@penny-arcade.com.
Correct, it does not matter whose names are on the tickets.

I got my tickets, if my saving goes ok between now and March I'll see you there again Dan!
Woooo!
Contact support on the registration page and they'll tell you whether you can cancel, otherwise you'd have to sell it.
If you want to make sure you're giving it to someone who will enjoy it if you can't, there will be a thread up to sell tickets at face value before the show starts. Otherwise you can sell it somewhere else for more.
And like I said, tickets resell really, really easily.
Yes. The hardest thing to get is your ticket. It sells out. And then you will be sad. And sadness is sad.

Pascual, don't post in this thread until you've bought your ticket. You bring shame on the House of UK.
Oh look at me! my name is MelesMeles and I have lots of money!
Fixed that for ya :P
Well, hope stuff clears up and I see you there!
UK PAXer with ticket purchased here!
Now I just need to sort time off. And flights. And a hotel. And other minor details like that :-/
Common sense, practicality, that sort of thing?
In my defence, I'm fairly certain I can get time off, and the money for flights & hotel I've earmarked already.
Don't know who the extra badge is going to but I guess I'll figure that out.

You raise a good point. Bought my 3-day pass. And I've never been to a PAX event, what happens if I'm selected for the Omegathon exactly? o.0
But, can anyone give any rough estimate on how much hotels are per night from at the con rates? I'm trying to figure out how much it'll cost in total and need to be able to hit the buy button if we get low-numbers warnings!
I'd say around $200/night for a 4-person is a conservative estimate.
If you're selected, you get to be one of twenty lucky bast^H^H^H^Hpeople to compete for...well, last year's East Omegathon prize was an all-expense paid trip to the Tokyo Game Expo, not sure what this year's prize is. Challenges typically go: tabletop, PC, rhythm, console, secret. "Secret" being revealed mere moments before the final two (or in last year's case, four) players compete on the main stage at the close of PAX.
There is a hotel "Club Quarters" thats 20 minute walk around for $750ish for 5 nights (Wednesday - Sunday) - That seems like a pretty good deal.. Do you think its worth booking now, or waiting for the hotel system to come online?
After like 2 years of planning, I can finally go to Pax. I'm so pumped, guys. SO PUMPED!
