    They need to make any attempt to stop bots, but I guess they've already made their money.

    Hey guys, I've got a hotel at the Crowne plaza booked thursday to tuesday morning, let me know if anyone wants to shack up (heh). Also, sorry lurkers but I would prefer people I know and can trust to not be weirdos. Anyways, hit me up via pm.

    Now that that's all sorted, time for class which I should have left for twenty minutes ago.

    yeah cause they've demonstrated time and time again that they only care about the bottom line

    Well, fuck it. I'll still be in the area and can hang out, but it looks like I won't get any tickets at this rate.

    Man it fucking figures that I'd lose my job the year I'd decide to go to PAX.

  • Goose!Goose! That's me, honey Show me the way home, honeyRegistered User regular
    Sounds like this is selling out before the day is done.

    And Tonkka I love that strategy <3

    They stream a lot on twitch now, you'll just miss the expo floor, but you could get a friday, sunday, or monday pass for that.

    fucking scalpers, man

    usually, like, whatever, make that money

    but scalping pax passes is like stealing christmas. super uncool.

    And they've also never taken the time to research the data behind people buying them and tracking down a) if there are any and b) striking down scalpers.

    And hotels are selling out just as quickly because people aren't actually interested in going to the convention they just want to flip the tickets for profit.

    And and and and and and and and.

    Nothing. Matters.

    This is really really sad for me.

    I can't believe I'm not going all four days.

    I don't even know when if I'll get to the registration page.

    My fondest memories of PAX always have nothing to do with the Con

    The best times I have at the actual Con are things like playing games in the console freeplay with forum homies or general shenanigans

    Last year I had a Saturday and Sunday pass, but I spent probably a grand total of 3 hours using them.

    seriously. and with this being a 4-day con this year, it's almost guaranteed that you can share a pass with somebody, that's a lot of conventionation

    It's stealing Christmas and reselling it to children at marked up prices.

    If there are no other convention center options in Seattle, space might end up being the thing that causes East to outpace Prime when it comes to attendance.

  • #pipe#pipe Cocky Stride, Musky odours Pope of Chili TownRegistered User regular
    PAX 2008 is probably my favourite

    Staying in that dumb huge house with @Keith and @Neville

    the cheesecake party

    (I think?) the first ever Fancy Dinner

    The road trip from San Francisco with Kusu and @Vivixenne

    that was a hell of a time, friends.

    We still wanna go to Seattle, but this seems like it's going to be a lot of hassle.

    Maybe California instead.

    By the time the hotel site came back up, practically every hotel was sold out. Just barely got my Thurs-Mon at the Hyatt.

    YEESH. Fuck this was like 20x more stressful than last year.

    I'm only going to be able to afford getting to PAX once I write a sweet ass video game and go there to show it off.

    Until then, enjoy fellow PA'ers.

    @Sal How long were you in the queue?

    Also, I got in at the Crowne Plaza out of sheer luck, if anybody wants to talk about doing a room share thing, you know how to get a hold of me.
