Eep! Just saw that the Valet parking price at the Sheraton is $46/day! Anyone know of a more reasonable option that will let me keep the car there from Fri-Monday?
What I plan to do is park nearby one of the light rail stations nearby the airport and take it up to the convention center. It's about a 5 minute walk from the station to convention center.

That only works if you're using your car daily, since you will most likely get towed if you park at a Park+Ride overnight. If you're looking to stash your car for the weekend, go far far far away from downtown. Garages will be in the $20-$30/day range, which isn't all that much better. I usually park at a friend's on Thursday, bus into downtown, then retrieve it on Tuesday (well, Wednesday in this case) after I check out of the hotel.
I got the same reply, pretty much. Which to me means they scan for the words 'badges' and 'not arrived' and send a canned answer. Ours was about badges sent to a wrong address. *sigh*
Anyway... Is Registration by chance open Thurs afternoon/evening before PAX? Or is 8am Friday the earliest they open?
Tried to look on the Guidebook app, but it keeps crashing on me.

Quick reminder, if your Guidebook app is giving you grief, go to http://m.guidebook.com/guide/11947/. This is a web edition that even a 3DS can digest (I still wouldn't trust wifi to help you much at PAX) and it has most of the same functionality, except for QR scanning and bookmarking your own schedule.

visit gottapark.com or something like that. you can buy a permit and just leave your car there (multiple lots available) since it is 24 hour parking but i paid around $15 last week but since it is so close they might charge a little more
1) I couldn't make it this year. Planning for next year, is PAX Prime always at the same time every year?
2) Also planning for next year, when do tickets usually go on sale, and is that also the same every year?

PAX Prime has been on Labor Day every year except for '11(?) due to a standing reservation from another conference. It should still be on Labor Day weekend next year, but the dates will be formally announced during PAX. Generally speaking, passes go on sale a month or so after PAX East has ended.

I was given the same information, to grab my medical badge from the info booth or registration desk , will either of these be open on Thursday or do we have to wait till sometime Friday ?
Does anyone know if any of the musicians performing over the weekend will be there on monday selling CDs, T-shirts, what nots? And where they might be located? I only have a ticket for Monday and would still like to support them while I'm there in some way.
Depends how badly you wanna get into the panel, how popular it is, and what theater it's at. 30 minutes has usually been fine for me, but I haven't tried going to a super popular one. If you use Twitter, follow @Pax_Lines and they'll try to give you a heads up on some of the larger panels. Also, I believe you can't start lining up for a panel, until the line for the previous one is let in.

It's up to the performers as to how long they want to stay. Their meet-and-greet/storefront area is Bandland, which is located in the 4th floor north lobby (if you're at the main entrance of the WSCC, take the escalators on the right all the way up, and that'll put you right in that lobby).

Hey, I really wanted to attend one of the first events at 10:30 and wanted to know if anyone had an idea about what time I should arrive at the convention center in order to register and wait in line etc.
Anyone with past experience have any light to shed on the topic of arrival times?
Are you able to arrive on Thursday? I have always arrived on Thursday and went through registration in the afternoon.
I'm not sure if you need to be registered in order to get into the Main Theater at 10:30am or not. I've always gone up to the queue line for the exhibit hall.
I usually get in line for the keynote/Q&A stuff by 9:30 Friday morn.. but I always already have my passes. This year, since I have to sort out my missing badges fiasco, I'll be getting to registration at 8, since I don't get into Seattle til late Thursday.
I sorta had my passes delivered to my folks' address instead of my own. Can I have them scan the pass and use a copy, or otherwise recover my pass before the event on Monday?

Come to Registration with a copy of your order confirmation.
Do they clear the Main Stage between the Keynote/FAQ and the Roosterteeth Panel? I thought I read someone say that they didn't, so I want to check how possible it would be to get into the Roosterteeth Panel without going to the Keynote and FAQ.
I moved to Seatte from Texas and just recently found out about PAX Prime. However the Badge passes are sold out and I was wondering what kind of events are there to enjoy without a pass?
IMPORTANT QUESTION
So this year I was only able to snag myself a Monday badge, which is better than nothing but there's a panel at the Pegasuses theater on Friday that I really want to go too.
Would I be able to get into the panel with my Monday badge even though the badge date does not correspond with the panel date?
And If I did and they rejected me, would I be able to get in by saying something like "whoops I wore the wrong badge!"? Do you think they would let me in?
I'll probably wear a hoodie and zip it up enough so that my day is hidden.
Whats the worst that would happen if they found out? I sure do hope they wouldn't revoke my badge :O

Last minute question time!
How do the Console Freeplay/Classic Console areas work?

Nothing official. There are more than a few people arranging unofficial things, this thread links to two others dealing specifically with what's been dubbed ShadowPAX

First off, this idea is uncool, trying to sneak your way in.
As I understand it, you wouldn't make it past the check points in the centre if you tried to go into the PAX-only sections without a badge for the correct day. If you try to hide it, you will be asked to show it. If it's not for the right day, you will not be allowed to go past the checkpoint and may be asked to leave/escorted out of the building.
That being said, I've never heard of anyone getting escorted out or having a badge confiscated, unless it's stolen or a fake. If you really want to see that panel, check to see if it's being streamed, see if someone you know who is going can record it, or absolute last resort would be to see if there is anyone selling a single day badge. Per Washington state law (usual disclaimers apply, I am not a lawyer, etc), if the badge is being resold within city limits of the event, they can not legally sell it for more than retail.

Anybody know when and where the outdoor line will start lining up?
Last year year it got a little funny. But i think it starts in the queue rom and if there is overflow the just Line people up in the park in the back. The years before everybody just went into the queue room and if it was too crowded for you taste you waited in the hall looking at pax merch
Questions about posters: Can signed posters be rolled up together without issue? Does anyone have experience shipping posters home via Fedex? It looks like they have a location at the Sheraton and at the Convention Center (no idea where for either, any tips?), but I figure it would be safer to ship than stick them in with my luggage.
Hi guys, I'm a French fan of riot games, particurlarly League of Legends. I should have gone to Gamescom a few days ago but the train got blocked into the station and i finaly missed it.
I should get there a code to unlock special skins for my champions in the game. I would know if one of you could please help me to get these skins (it's the last chance to get them) going to league of legends stand and asking a card with codes for the skins. The name of the skins are RIOT blitcrank, RIOT graves and Arcade hecarim.
I hope one of you can help me and i'm really grateful for him.
Here is my mail adress to contact me : [email protected]
Thanks you so much for reading, have nice PAX days.
I'm sorry for my bad english xD

I just (finally) opened the envelope with my two sets of Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon one-day PAX passes in it and... There's Mondays where my Fridays should be.
The passes were in there in the order Mon/Mon/Sat/Sat/Sun/Sun/Mon/Mon.
WHAT DO I DO
Oh good, so I just... do what I already did.
What time does the will call booth close for thursday night? Or do I have to wait for friday morning to sort this out? /me is on the train.
Assuming your close, i'd stop by and see if they are open. The Thursday reg close time is often flexible depending on volume.
It acts like a 4 day badge when not performing expo duties.
Yes, sharing at 8.
