The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
We now return to our regularly scheduled PA Forums. Please let me (Hahnsoo1) know if something isn't working. The Holiday Forum will remain up until January 10, 2025.
Join Harmonix at our Pre PAX East Rock Band Night on 3/21! Tickets... SOLD OUT (for now?)
***QUICK 2/27 EDIT*** The Brattle Theater has sold out of the tickets they had up for pre order. We are working with them to see if they can free up any more or if there is a potential for tickets to be sold at the door as there have been in years past. I'll be sure to update here if more tickets become available. Thanks all for your interest! ***QUICK 2/27 EDIT***
Hey gang,
If you'll be in Boston the day before PAX East kicks off, Harmonix is hosting the 3rd Annual Rock Pre PAX Rock Band Night at the Brattle Theater on March 21st! Tickets are on sale RIGHT NOW and they have sold out before the show every year, so don't delay if you're interested.
You can pre order tickets here at the Brattle's official site.
Here's the description they have up for the event:
Words do not do this show justice. You can hang out with Harmonix devs, the excellent dudes from Giant Bomb, rock out on stage in front of their giant screen, and help us celebrate the finale of the weekly RB DLC in style. We always have an awesome turn out of RB super fans and it's a great way to kick off the PAX East weekend. Also, since we won't have an RB set up on the show floor, this may be your only chance to rock out that weekend.
That $20 ticket gets you access to the theater, the ridiculous swag we're designing specifically for the show, free DLC for 360 and PS3, and we're also looking into working out some kind of open bar / concession stand scenario for part of the night. Plus, there's all sorts of goofy stuff we're still finalizing, so keep posted to this thread for updates!
We hope to see a bunch of you there!

Join us for a night of rock-and-roll fun with Harmonix, local video game designers and the creators of the fantastic Rock Band. Form your own band or fly solo and enter for a chance to compete live on stage in front of a panel of judges from GiantBomb.com. Plus get your hands on some exclusive merch that Harmonix is cooking up. This event is a prequel of sorts to the absurdly popular PAX East Convention which begins on March 22.

One question - while you won't have a presence on the Expo floor, will there still be Rock Band freeplay stages set up around the BCEC, or is Rock Band not part of PAX at all?
If not, I will suddenly be bringing my gear and fixing this myself.
We only had Blitz set up at PAX Prime and several Enforcers volunteered to run a freeplay stage so we set them up with a fully loaded console and some swag to give away. It's totally conceivable that something similar could happen again this year but, to my knowledge, no one has reached out to us about help with a free play station.
I'm not 100% sure what the policy is for these free play areas but we'll do whatever we can to support them.

Nope! It's all ages friendly, but the bar at the concession stand will obviously be carding.
Henry, you have a preference on what flavor of Muscle Milk for me to bring? :P
Also need to find a way to tote arouny my Destroyer pedal, because I tend to break stock RB ones, and I don't want to be that guy..
Then again, I'd be that guy for hooking up my own pedal.. I CAN'T WIN
Now to see about the bar crawl or this ... damn too many good choices

As for questions about free play stages, we'll do whatever we can to help!
Repeating what Zerzhul said, I got confirmation from the PAX support email that a stage will be set up for Rock Band. This is good, because I was already working out the logistics of strapping a 32" TV to my back, guitars on either side, drums below the TV, and microphones on the belt, and being a traveling Rock Band kiosk. Problem is, you'd only have enough time to play Charlene (I'm Right Behind You) before I needed to recharge whatever portable power source I had.
I'm not kidding.
Stage is easier.
Harmonix normally has Rock Band and Dance Central at their booth too.

Definitely more
They will not have a booth at all this year, except a section of the Microsoft/Xbox booth for Dance Central stuff.
Done and done. Sorry for the confusion. I've edited the OP with the most recent update. Hopefully we'll be able to free up more tickets.
It better news, it's sounding like a RB free play stage run by Enforcers / volunteers is more and more likely. We've been in touch about providing DLC and swag and we'll see if some of the HMX Community Team can check in for guest appearances once in a while.
