    Whenever a day passes without a twitter notification, I worry just a little bit more that something went wrong and I missed it somehow. I've checked the Pax twitter so many times just to make sure.

    I have a feeling it will be today. Is this the latest they've ever dropped?

    Every 30 minutes, I take 2 minutes out of my day to be sure I'm refreshing - no matter what else I may be doing.

    I'm not sure if tickets literally drop at the half hour marks or if it's just something to feel like I'm being pro-active.

    Yes. May 28th was the latest before, set in 2014. But today is the same days out from PAX that that was. So it won't break that record until tomorrow.

    I'm also staying with a friend this year. It'll be interesting to see what parts I like about sleeping in a hotel and which parts I enjoy about sleeping at my friends place. Either way, this is going to be a great year! I'm even coming in a couple days early to experience the Seattle life.

    Us too, we are coming in Aug 31, and staying thru Sept 8th since, free lodging. Looking forward to spending some time in Seattle after all the craziness has died down.

    Same. I know it's in the beginning of Sept. but the longer it gets pushed out, the rougher the planning will be for me.

    And the longer they wait the more expensive flights will be for ones who have not brought them yet.

    Hopefully it is Today or this week.

    Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.
  • BluemeaneBluemeane Registered User regular
    Staying at local friends houses is the best! You can get in early and get good parking, as well as get in line early!

    Oh yeah then you also save a BUTTLOAD of money.

    Hmm, was looking my previous orders on showclix, and they were at 1:30PM and 3:00PM-ish.

    I'm assuming that the times listed under my account were Eastern time as:
    • Showclix is based in Pittsburgh, PA
    • I know I wasn't at work yet when passes went up last time (I work swing)

    If the last four times are any indication...

    Same here. I know enough people who attend PAX at this point that I'll go to hang out with them outside of the con whether or not I get tickets.

    Same as well, and there is plenty to do in Seattle as well. Also i could just cancel and Westjet allows the money to go into a travel bank for later use.

    Yeah, I actually live in WA now, just outside of Seattle so going downtown to go party for the weekend regardless of badge status is totally doable for me now. :D And either way, I got a dinner and bar crawl to put on Thursday night!

    Southwest has a similar deal for rescheduling. I bought my flight out in March because it got very cheap for awhile and I knew there wasn't any risk.

    @Legacy that was hysterical!

    and I've never wanted someone to take my money soooo bad. I'm hoping its today or tomorrow, 12 or 3 work as I'm plopped in front of my computer at those times.

    My day is not going well.
    Maybe badges would make me feel better.

    I wonder if Penny Arcade enjoys watching us squirm. We all know the badges will be released soon, so I figure the only reason not to release them *now* is to torture us.

    Nope. I was hoping to get one from Santa, but obviously he and I have different definitions of "Good."

    Sweet, I am planning the same thing since I live only an hour and a half north of Seattle. I want to do the crawl no matter what. I cant wait to see what this years theme is.

    When i read that post i thought of Robert doing that also lol, he did taunt us one year with a tweet about a nutcracker only to have badges drop 30 mins later.

    For a single fleeting moment when I finish buying badges. Then I remember I still have to wait for the badges to show up. And remember to bring them to Seattle. And get a hotel.

    I thought it would be today for sure, last night I had the buying PAX tickets dream. Except I had to wait in a line and when I got to the ticket window there were problems selecting my tickets and a bunch of people in line behind me were getting mad I was taking so long.
