    Such minimal chatter of anticipations and worries.

    WHERE IS THE HYPE?! Have people just not expected badges to go on sale until next week?

    We were all too busy hitting F5 all morning?

    Ahahaha, great answer ♥

    It honestly just doesn't make sense for them to go on sale so quickly after South. It would kill any momentum for the South sale.

    We are already looking at badges likely going on sale the latest they ever have before.
    I know that upsets people who have to travel a long ways because of ticketing issues.
    But I agree, It is kind of soon after.

    The Doc shows 2014 is the closest with 93 days, still have 11 days till this is the closest badges go on sale.

    I'm just hoping the badges don't go on sale on May 31 or June 1 because I have doctor appointments both those days

    Are there any chances of them going up on the weekend?

    Minimal. Their devs and support people won't be in the office and it's almost an annual occurrence that something goes wrong.

    And even if it went "right" they still have to filter out and relist all the fraudulent purchases. Which is propbably why West and East haven't gone on sale on a Friday since 2011 (when it too 20 days to sell out of 3-Day passes)

    you made me think of the Unexpected Hanging Paradox. If we know the badges won't go on sale on the weekend or Friday(because they need to have staff working there and more time to fix problems) but we also know they have to make sure the scalpers are unable to predict the date, so it can't be on a Thursday......ect.

    Just something I found funny, for all we know they might staff on one of these weekends just to mess with the scalpers

    Today?

    Maybe?

    The only time any PAX went on sale on a Tuesday was last week when South did. So, today, Wednesday, and Thursday are all quite likely.

    I don't think sale have ever started before 10 pacific, so you should be good

    First year my work blocked Pax site (why, I don't know - maybe I F5'd too much and they noticed). So will be completely dependent on buying this on the phone, ugh... The queue on it seems slower than on a PC for whatever reason.

    Same here, also watch for random strange tweets from Roberts. For East 2015 he tweeted some random nutcracker thing and tickets go on sale 30 mins later.

    I want it to be today or tomorrow or Thursday. I am out of town after that for a few days and will have limited phone access.
    But I also want to just stop freaking out internally about it so just get it over with PA!

    My phone died last night, because I forgot to charge it. I turned it on and it started tweeting like crazy. Freaked me out but it was only battleborn stuff, lol.

    May PAX be upon you.

    That's why I disable all other Twitter notifications for this time period. I don't want to worry when I'm getting all these texts.

    You guys telling me that I'm the only one with a dedicated PAX Twitter account??

  • The AviatrixThe Aviatrix Registered User regular
    I guess you could say I have a "dedicated PAX Twitter account" but it's my only twitter account xD I signed up for Twitter for badge sales.
    I follow three things now - all PAX related.
    (Well maybe more, I may have followed stuff for booths, but I don't pay attention.)


    The PAX dreams have begun for me.

    I had a dream I was outside at work, carrying a box, when I got a tweet. It said that badges were already sold out, stop asking. And then I panicked because I never got the tweet saying they went on sale.

    Please be today....please be today....

    Also, I guess someone on Reddit found the prepped Showclix link for West 2016 tickets. Shows up blank of course but I'm not sure how far ahead those things get set up before ticket sales.

    It all goes silent at 10am. fingers are still crossed.

  • ScunosiScunosi WashingtonRegistered User regular
    I hadn't even realized how close we are to the sale. I've been prepped for about the last month of course, but time seems to have passed pretty quickly. Now I'm over-compensating by panicking about how I wasn't panicking enough before. Torn between wanting them to just go ahead and get on sale or wait until more funds are available to me.

    Power out in downtown Seattle.

    But PAX needs not the power of the electrical grid - it is powered by our F5's and anguish

    Well it is after 4 PM EST, although with that mentioned power outage things may be delayed but today now seems less likely.

    Well, the PA offices aren't in Seattle proper, they are in Redmond. And Showclix is in Pittsburgh.

    But the majority of PAX West is people from the Seattle area. Putting tickets on sale when they specifically can't buy them is something they might avoid. Especially since it would give the scalpers time to mobilize and be ready for the moment the power came back.

    Seattle area? You think so?

    So I checked the site and it said how much time until PAX: 99 Days 23 Hrs 14 Mins 50 Secs

    100 days remain.

    The outage was in the heart of downtown Seattle only. I live 25 minutes away and my power has been fine.

    To the ladies and Gents hitting f5 constantly, its time to upgrade your efforts to the dark arts of Python programming! Below is a python script that automatically refreshes as often as you need it to! I have mine refreshing my firefox window every 5 seconds. This way I can just set that window to the side and just sit back and watch for the black "soon" box to turn green. Then I can do other things in my Chrome browser or anything else on my computer while that auto refreshes for me. If you don't have python, you can download that for free, along with selenium webdriver. If you are not a fan of IDLE, you can also use Pycharm for free. The last two lines need to be tabbed over one. Have fun!



    from selenium import webdriver
    import time

    refreshrate = int(5)
    driver = webdriver.Firefox()
    driver.get("http://west.paxsite.com/registration")
    while True:
    time.sleep(refreshrate)
    driver.refresh()
