    While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.

    Holy carp... this year's service for the tickets is exceptional! That was a quick process.

    Managed to get two 3-Day passes for me and my boyfriend! I was in class and saw the text and about had a heart attack.

    Was in queue 10 seconds after the tweet.

    3-day tickets sold out by the time I got out of the queue. What's the point of 3 day tickets?

    #1: It saves you money ($50 this year)
    #2: It's easier than having 3 single-day passes
    #3: It's kind of a collector's item

    They sell out too quickly these days to try and get one, but no harm. I still get to go. WOO!

    I JUMPED on that tweet and managed to get my 3-days. Now here's hoping I'm lucky with the hotel again.

  • SinoSambaSinoSamba CaliforniaRegistered User regular
    The text came in at the same exact time my company sent their test text for their emergency notification system. Completely freaked out and forgot to queue for hotels. At least I got single passes for all 3 days :)

    Kind of frustrated because I was waiting... waiting... then when I refreshed the order screen popped up. Got two sets of each day though.

    Jumped in the queue ten minutes ago. Still in the queue now. I guess we'll see if I get in or not.

  • SepiothSepioth Boston, MARegistered User regular
    Yes. 2nd year I managed 2 3day passes. My hands are still shaking. Hehe.

    And yes the process went very smooth. Was on mobile too. Thankfully in a high service area.

    Congrats to those who get tix.

    Got my two 3 days for my wife and I, and our usual room at the Seaport. Booking was a little weird for the Seaport this year...only a bed request. Usually they let you lock in a king sized bed. This time, just a request.

  • DaPunisher416DaPunisher416 Registered User new member
    What were there...like four 3-day passes available? lol. A huge load off my shoulders to get at least Fri and Sat. Now I can sleep for my 3rd shift job tonight.

  • PainePaine Registered User regular
    Seems like 3-days are even more scarce this year, this will be the first ever PAX East that I don't have a 3-day pass to. Decided to buy just Sat and Sun and not take Friday off from work this year.

    I was sitting with my boss, going over some reporting stuff, and my phone went ballistic. Said "Sorry..gotta handle this", explained as I was typing, and she was laughing her tail off. Good to have nice people "above" you!

    Fri/Sat badges get. This year, no worrying about hotels or plane tickets--not now that I live in Quincy.

    There was a post at one point where Robert described how the data showed at east and prime the full weekend passes were not used to their fullest extent, and so emphasis on them is decreased. I would not be surprised if this is the last year we have them.

    I always have a killer adrenaline rush after. I'm not going to be able to function at work for another half hour at least @_@

    I got the text while using the restroom at the office- got on the queue with my cell, then hauled ass back to my desk.

    Got myself and my friends out full set of 4x weekend passes and a room at the Renaissance. We're golden!

    I was on lunch, and missed the tweet, but I had just set up Twitter on my boyfriends phone last week, so he saw it, and we got three sets of single days. So very excited!

    Just keep checking Onpeak until early April when they lock the changes. Hotels have a lot of churn, I was able to eventually get the Seaport last minute last year.

    Bummer, I got the tweet text, got in the queue 6 minutes later. Apparently 6 minutes too late to GET A 3 DAY PASS. Seems like a lot of people had some inside information beforehand. Thankfully I got friday and saturday, which are the two full days.

  • koolarookoolaroo Registered User regular
    Man the timing couldn't have been any better for me got it right as I was about to drive away from work. Managed to get a three day for the 4th year in a row.

  • PidermansVestPidermansVest Registered User regular

    Naw, they don't make a lot of 3 day passes, and it sounds odd, but those 6 minutes are HUGE.

    Does anyone have the customer service details? I (and a coworker of mine) was only given three options for shipping - two international and one for US that was $9 and
    expedited which I did not need. Well, my friend just checked out and got a free shipping option so now I need to contact them.


    Edit: Nevermind, just saw my receipt. "All orders that include 5 or more tickets must select Expedited Shipping. Badges do not mail until approximately 2 weeks prior to the event."

    That is some BS.
