Anyone else already started to lurk here and on twitter on a panicked frenzy everyday? Hahaha
I know that last year the badges didn't go on sale until July, but damn. I don't want to miss out.

Yea but this show is going to get more popular next year and the years to come, especially for the locals. Don't be surprised if Saturdays sell out sooner this time around.
However, South is very different, being a newborn convention and all. Like it was said above, it took until the last few days for badges to start selling out and Sunday passes were available at the door. So you know what South could use to help bring more people in? A 3-day bundle deal at a generous discount. Same with Aus, which is why I'm predicting that the single-days-only change won't be applied to any other PAX in the near future. East will definitely be the next one if anything, but even so, I think they'll still have 3-day badges for 2016. Nothing has yet to match the egregious demand of Prime.

I wouldn't be surprised if they either keep or get rid of the weekend passes. Pax Prime was a four day affair so going to all four days was probably demanding for many attendees. With South it is only three days. But they may make Prime their business model for all Pax's and do away with weekend badges altogether. I think it could go either way.

I'd say you'd probably have a couple of days to get your badges after they go up. Speaking of which, any guesses as to when they will be posted for sale?
I check every day for passes xD Every single day.

Maybe we should start our ticket sale date guess thread? :biggrin:
That seems like the popular stipulation around here and on reddit. Until we learn more, just gonna be chillin here though. =P
Lat year, they had a portal set up through the south.paxsite.com website that you could access a number of hotels through and be given a distance to the convention for your reference. As for discounts, I don't believe there is a significant discount for being a part of the convention. The best way to save money is to either drive up (since you live in San Antonio) each day, or to get with friends and split the bill (I did this last year).
I want to get a room and split the bill with friends that live here and some friends I made last year. I dont want to have to pay for parking and fight the traffic everyday. Also, I want to be able to enjoy the pub crawl to its fullest and have a safe haven nearby.

Pax South was announced along with dates at Pax East back in 2014
That would be the 2015 dates. The next one is 2016. :-)
That was my point. They announced the 2015 dates a few months before tickets went on sale.
Yes but Zerzhul has said that they usually don't announce the date of the convention too much ahead of the ticket dates. The only way that east knows for next year is because the convention center posted it, not because of Pax telling them though.

Between amiibos and Pax I'm surprised I still have an F5 key.
