I'm going in (to the queue). If I don't come out, avenge my death.

So on the site there is an option to select which badges you want and then click get tickets. then you get put into queue? I selected 3 day, what happens if 3 day is sold out by the time I'm out of queue? Can I still get single day even though I didn't select them?

Wolfiee

Still in queue..

Is the hotel site down because of traffic or? It won't even load at all for me.

Clix

I can't get in....

503 Service Unavailable

No server is available to handle this request.

koolaroo

it would be great if there was some indication of how far in the queue I am.

Triiipledot

On the queue on PC and phone, not sure whats gonna happen. Struck out for PAX Prime.

I couldn't see a selection for BYOC badges, are they purchased separately this year?

That happened to me. I believe you get the option to choose again once you're out of the queue.

If it's down I'm sure it's due to traffic.

PurpleSky

Any guesses as to how long the queue wait will be? Hope its not hours like prime

You do. It actually weirded me out because once I got through the queue it asked again and I was worried I got reset. Rest assured, you have to select again and then you're done.

PAX, here we come!

Yes. This was mentioned in another thread, I don't remember the details (not a BYOC guy) but it's definitely separate this year.

The hotel paged loaded once. Saw closest westin was already sold out. Waterfront hotel loaded went for 2 guests then nothing. 503 again. le sigh

MLCodest

I was also able to choose again once I got to the front of the queue.

It's unfortunate the Onpeak openned up the hotel regs to the public earlier this morning. A bunch of the good hotels sold really quickly.

PurpleSky

I was 27 seconds late on clicking the twitter link. Still in queue Good lord I can't believe this comes down to 27 seconds. Is it possible 3 days are sold out already?

adias.angel

Had the westin, page crashed, lost the westin. The five closest hotels are now sold out.

The_MadHatter_

I got my passes!

koolaroo

just breathed a huge sigh of relief. I'm going to Pax!

pilferk

How long were most people who got passes in the que for? I'm going on 10 min, now.

Clix

You should feel lucky for even getting to the queue. I can't even get into the site at all.

essenceofdaylight

Waiting in the queue is so stressful x_x

Limond

Boston Waterfront hotel won't load the submit buttons when buying rooms.

Wolfiee

My queue page sorted loaded, then something changed in the blue bar, but now it's back to the same thing...

MLCodest

How people are getting on the hotel site is beyond me. I haven't been able to get past the first page once.

10 minutes I think was about right. But of course the queue is going to vary in length depending on how many people got in ahead of you...

Oh, and don't try to get into the queue with multiple web browsers. It gets wonky. The queue does work, though, have faith!

Triiipledot

Got 3 3 Day Passes and confirmed with my bank, friend also got 3 3 Day passes.

PurpleSky

I clicked the link 27s after the twitter post. Was in queue for 10 minutes

essenceofdaylight

I can't even get to OnPeak. I keep getting a 503 error. Darn you, web traffic!

You should be going to this link: http://www.showclix.com/event/p37836811

NOT the PAX site. That site is screwed up. It's rather unfortunate, only people knowing to check these forums or twitter are going to know this.

Anyways, was in queue for like 10 minutes, got through, got three passes. This website system is a great upgrade. Good jerb.

DavidTLynchEsq

I got my pass. The queue lasted about 10 minutes for me.

EDIT: From what I can tell, I showed up in the just in time to avoid a much longer wait. I hope this post didn't mislead anyone.

Tuninator..the "regular" web site for hotels was open for roughly 5 min before they shut it down. The mobile site was live for maybe 30 to 45 min before they shut it down. All around 10 AM.
