I can't remember if the VR area at east kept expo hours or regular show hours.
They kept expo hours, they were open until midnight the first two nights.
BUT--you need to sign up in advance. If you wait in the standby line, it would take hours and you still might not get in. I didn't get in, but I played a bunch of VR at other places at the show so that was fine, but just a heads up to sign up early in the free play area (if they do it the same as East).

That is show hours. Expo hours is closes at 6:00 PM.
Are there any service fees/taxes or so on for badges? If yes, approximately how much?
To my knowledge, only shipping fees. Which was $7.50 (flat rate, not per person) for PAX South. If you live outside the US, you can opt for will-call passes and avoid shipping fees by picking them up at the show.

We're in the US so no worries about that. Thank you!
So, I've heard that getting multiple tickets shipped to one address can cause them to cancel your booking.
Me and my boyfriend both bought tickets separately, from different computers, with different credit cards but the one shipping address. Does anyone know if this would cause a problem?
If between the two of you, you went over the limit of 4 of each day, there's definitely a chance that it will. But if you each only bought one of each day, you should be fine.

Preemptively contact them. Explain the situation. In my experience the staff just wants to help.

Yeah we just got the one each! I figured it would be ok!

It could be an issue if the combination went over the badge limit.
Why did you change the name from PAX Prime? Were the East Coasters complaining too much about feeling inferior? I think they could have lived with a taste of how they treat everyone else the other 99% of the time. But what do I know - we ain't got no kultchah out heahhhh...
Its true, we Massholes have little love for anyone 99%, err, 99.99% of the time, but I have to say I prefer the name Prime over West any day. But it is was it is.
So I was in class and RIIING! PAX West tickets are on sale. Me and my friend jump around in excitement XD. But our parents were too slow so we only managed to get monday passes -.-.
Is monday still ok? what are the conditions/hours? is there still good stuff?
As far the the expo goes: Mondays are the most laid back day imo. I prefer to attend on Friday, then again on Monday to give my legs a nice rest in between. I typically go solo Fridays and take my kids on Mondays because I've found the people staffing the booths have more time to chat (but you'll hear a lot of voices about to give out after talking for 4 days straight)
A lot of merch is likely to be sold out. (For example, I think the LootCrate booth last year was empty all of Monday.) Freebies depends upon the vendor - some will ensure they have stuff every day, others won't. However, some vendors will have too much stuff and give extras away on Monday.
There's not as much stuff after the expo hall closes. Hours according to the site for Monday are
Expo: 10am-6pm
Show: 10am - 7pm
However, Monday PAX is still PAX! Expo hall will still be open, there will still be panels, there will still be free play areas, and there will still be AMAZING people all around you!
I bought a full set of tickets but it was in two purchases. Both with the same billing/shipping/identification info. Will they arrive together? I'm okay being out the extra 7.50, and it sounds like I shouldn't get flagged (None of my roommates are buying). Silly questions! Excitement! PAX!

Sometimes they arrive together, sometimes not. Past experience would say they are equally likely. You could try contacting [email protected] to see if they can somehow combine them.
Alright, silly question but I'm just hoping I didn't break any rules.
So I went through the queue once, bought four of each day and finished the transaction then went back into the queue and got one more Monday badge, I didn't break any rules, did I?
I went through, bought tickets and went through again, didn't queue between my pc and my phone or another tab, just went through it twice, was that okay?
That does go over the limits of 4 of each type of badge per person, since you would have gotten 4 of each, and 5 Mondays. Whether or not they flag you as a problem case is to be seen.
Oh boy, assuming the worst comes, what happens?
I suppose it'd too much to ask to just scratch that one Monday off, or are they comin' down with a solid cancellation?

It will all depend on how the person reviewing your case is feeling that day (If it even gets flagged). Worst case is they cancel your whole order and you get no tickets. More likely is they would just cancel your one Monday order.
Most likely is that it is not worth their time and you will be fine.
One bad scenario, two good ones, all under a "maybe" banner, that's good enough for me.
I sent an email to pax-questions asking about it, hopefully they'll take pity for my "honesty".

In the past some of the best panels were on Monday, and they've done Q&A on Monday more than once. Monday's also when you can watch the Omegathon finals. So don't look down on Monday just because it's the last day of PAX, it's action-paxxed!
I can't get through to onPeak to alter my hotel reservation. I just get to busy signal. No indication that the line is even active. Is there another number I can call to do this?

For me last year, Monday was boss, great panels, a chance to see a pile of stuff with people who weren't too busy to talk to me. Honestly, in a lot of ways Saturday is a harsh day, srsly, Monday is quite nice as long as you are experience-oriented and not merch-oriented. Check out people's posts with regard to what's cool on the previous days and that will help you prioritize for your day.
When I login to see my hotel reservation I can't make changes. I get this: "Alterations to the reservation are not allowed". Anyone know why? Already asked in the hotel thread but thought I would here as well. Thanks!

Yeah my bad, I meant to type show hours. The information was clearly correct other than that

I've now made two separate pass purchases (6/7 for Fri, Sun, Mon and 6/10 for Sat), each with the $7.50 shipping fee. Will ReedPop combine my orders into one shipment and refund the extra fee or will I get two shipments? If I call, can they combine them?

I doubt they will combine them without intervention on your part. If there's a phone number to call, try that, or email [email protected]
This is a question about cancellations. So I got my set of badges(16 badges) but more cousins wanted (4 Saturday) to go but didn't have a credit card for payment so my brother let them use his, how likely will our orders be cancelled? He used a different address but used the same billing address.

Maybe something to add to the FAQ? I know some people had the same question on Reddit.

Well, there goes any chance I had of not getting the PAX Pox again.
Its true, we Massholes have little love for anyone 99%, err, 99.99% of the time, but I have to say I prefer the name Prime over West any day. But it is was it is.

"Good stuff" will depend upon your definition.

I'd give email a shot if the phone isn't working.
