    I see individual days are limited to 3 passes per person each, yet 3-days are limited to 6. Interesting.

    Also, strange to see these going on sale almost a year before the show. I'm guess that's one of the main reasons they're offering an insurance policy.

    Purchased as well.

    Is it possible to get a cleanup of the forum / archive the old posts so we can start fresh with random banter for 2014 please? :)

  • DruexDruex Registered User regular
    Secured 5 passes for my group. It's cool they have some reserved for international visitors. I can only hope they offer the same when I head to PAX East in a few years. I wonder how fast this year will sell out?

    That is not a thing that happens, no. The only reason the archive exists is from the days before there were separate sections for each pax.

    I think is to stop the re-sale of the popular days (scalping)... I think anyway.

    They are saying it will give us a lot of time to prep (travel, accommodation and time off)

    As for the insurance????.... the badges are only sent a couple of weeks before PAX


    I am just happy that PAX is back for the 2nd time.... :D

    If you're international, it's pickup. If you're Australia, it's September 2014.

    Delivery of physical badges will be way closer to the show itself, but email info@paxaustralia.com.au when you end up changing your address!

    3 day pass here. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to do BYOC for my laptop.
    Did you go last year?

    Hoping the international passes hold out for a little bit. I'd like to see if I can find good airfare before taking the dive. Either way, though, I'll still probably buy a pass if they run low before airfare is posted.

    I'm pretty surprised by how fast the BYOC add-on passes are selling. I'll have to walk past there next year and see if more people show up.

    I believe the answer is that you do not, and that they are set aside to give non-Australians a slightly different chance at registration. I think you can buy the normal single days and select that you are an international person anyhow. The cost isn't different though.

    It's exactly the same as a three day badge for you, except ... they aren't sold out :P

    One question comes to mind..... Are the international students studying in Australia able to purchase Int'l badges?

    Obviously Yug will have better info than me, but if you look at the requirements for picking up an international badge, it includes travel manifests to prove that you came from elsewhere.

    No badge for me... I'll have to rely on getting pinged as an Enforcer again :)

    3day passes are gone so I purchased 3x 1day passes plus a BYOC badge. I don't need or want 3 pieces of plastic when only one is required. I have asked via email if it is possible to convert the 3x 1day passes (3 pieces of plastic) into a single 3day pass (1 piece of plastic). Personally I don't care about the price differential and the difference ($15) can be used as a processing fee or donated to charity.

    Does anybody else think this is a good idea?

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    That is not a thing they do.

    Don't NEED one but at this point it's the only 3 day option left. You have to show a passport AND flight details to pick it up, it wouldn't work for international students studying in Australia.

    I was a little disappointed for the fact there was no advance warning of when ticket sales were going to be open, as I'm traveling from Perth like I did for the first pax I am not all that happy.

    Therefore I have decided that 2014 will be my last ever PAX in melbourne. Plus I should mention my wife is having our first baby so thats another reason. The costs to fly to Melbourne is not all that cheap and I know its only $15 extra for a pass for each day but when its two people it does mount up.

    That is what I dislike about it, other events always give a little advance notice of when sales will start. Look at all other expos and events held in Australia. Now as for their hotel deals they have attained for the next pax event you can find cheaper indeed and just as good. I stayed at Hotel Ibis on little burke street just 100 meters away from southern cross station for the last PAX, saving $50 a night. Still the whole weekend of flights, accommodation, spending money and airfares cost me just under $2000 back in july.

    I just hope they don't charge for my 9 month old kid to enter the event as my crazy wife wants to come along.

    3-day badges are back on sale as of Sep 1st.
    Probably very limited.

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    They tweeted about this, they are based on enforcer/media refunds. I would agree that the numbers are likely small.

  • SkeleVaderSkeleVader Your Friendly Dark Lord of Destruction Registered User regular
    3-day International sold out last night.


    Only Standard 3-day (resale) & Friday remain. Both are low.
