    Remember last year when we got the awesome tweet: "For those F5ing, I can say with 100% certainty we won't be launching prime badge sales this month. Go enjoy the sun."

    Would love to get a similar tweet saying the exact same thing around now...
    Maybe they're not saying that because the badges will be launched this month!

    ... still so hopeful.
    Also because there's no sun.

    Start selling the badges at the convention center, in person only, each day badge a day before~
    Friday Badges on sale Thursday and Friday
    Saturday Badges on sale Friday and Saturday
    Sunday Badges on sale Saturday and Sunday
    Monday Badges on sale Sunday and Monday.

    Sell them a mile away from PAX so people attending that day will have difficulty buying a badge for the next day.

    That'd just turn into a campground. Where people at the end of the ridiculous line are camping for 3 days to get a Monday badge...

    Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.

    Wait, are you suggesting they sell them at the convention center or sell them a mile away?

    Also, that would be an awful idea for anyone that's coming from outside of Seattle. At least the current way you already know if you have badges before you travel to Seattle.

    That sounds like the absolutely worst idea I have ever heard when it comes to PAX ticket sales.

    Guys I think Pika was joking.

    Anywho, I'm a bit bummed it wasn't today. Hope it'll hold off till next week since I have a ton of stuff to do tomorrow and might not be near a computer.

  • Travman93Travman93 Billings, MTRegistered User regular
    My fingers are so tightly crossed for no badges tomorrow. I have a wedding shoot all day tomorrow, and it'd seem awfully unprofessional to put the newlyweds on hold while I'm frantically tapping away on my phone.

    Well don't I feel like a dummy for stressing about having a certain thread written and ready to post in anticipation of badge sales this week.

    Oh well, at least it's done!

    So in other news...

    Will the Tri Wizard Tourny will be back this year? Or will it be Mad Max again?

    I'm really hoping to attend for the first time, donning my Ravenclaw robes.

    YAY! Thanks
    I love you for sharing this information.

    I apologize for not asking in the questions thread.
    But it's something I was thinking about while wiggling with anticipation for badges. And didn't think about the applicable posting location.

    The tweet just now for the new comic about gave me a heart attack.

    The tweet just now for the new comic about gave me a heart attack.

    What tweet was this? I did not get an alert so went to check and not seeing new tweets from either /Official_PAX or /rkhoo

    Now I'm all worried there was a tweet that was posted and then deleted before my alerts went off and that there is a delay for me for alerts (Project Fi appears to have a little delay for incoming text alerts :bigfrown: )

    They are probably talking about an @PA_Megacorp tweet. PAX is announced on @Official_PAX

  • cbelleviecbellevie Registered User regular
    Ah, thanks for point that out, don't have alerts set for that.

    Now if my son would just stop sending me txt msgs every five minutes...

  • DisposableLemurDisposableLemur Registered User regular
    Yeah, I was talking about the comic. I have megacorp set to alert me too, never know what they might announce.

  • YoungFreyYoungFrey Registered User regular

    They do say on the @Official_PAX page that it will be announced there.

    I meant like new merch, kickstarters, game announcements. Stuff like that. My brain works in weird ways.

    Still no tickets yet, but when waking up to stalk the PAX tickets, I got an email with passes for an advance screening of the new TMNT movie next Wed...so, that works...

    PAX tickets would be nice too...

    I'm going on a business trip for a week on Tuesday. I'm guessing I'm probably going to miss out on tickets. =(

    Wish they would just tell everyone, 'Have a nice weekend, no PAX tickets sales during the Holiday". I need to start packing for a long camping trip. Orrrr, just put them up for sale. :)

    This being a long weekend in the US, next week seems the most likely timeframe.

    Still pulling for today hopefully but i somehow doubt it.

    I'm placing my bet for next Wednesday.
    I feel like today-Monday are incredibly unlikely.
    And Tuesday just feels too hopeful.

    Agreed, and yea Monday is Memorial Day so i highly doubt Showclix or PA will even be at work that day.

    Holy snaps.
    They really do not like Tuesdays.

    But awesome infographic :D I did not know the daily price of Prime dropped when they increased it to four days (makes sense though). And that may explain why East is more expensive. As they didn't want to increase it by more than $5 year by year.

    Does anyone else get that moment of false excitement when the page refreshes and just hangs there for a minute, only to load up the same content you've been staring at for the past 3 hours?

    Yep, had that happen a few times (my guess it happens due to a lot of F5ers at once).

  • LetMeInLetMeIn Registered User regular
    I've been staring at the official pax twitter for the past few days and it's been bugging me that they don't list Aus. Not that I'll ever have enough to travel there it is just Aus shouldn't be excluded just because it is a very distant and a bit odd relative to the rest

    They have their own Twitter.
    Which makes sense to me - just because of time zone differences.
    And they've been tweeting this month. Could you imagine all the Prime West panic for all the Aus tweets! Or they'd have to decrease their Aus tweets, which some could see as a bad thing.
