2025 BYOC Megathread
I couldn't find a banner I liked this year, so you get this one
Hello PC folks!
It's time for another PAX East, and with it another BYOC!
BYOC tickets are SOLD OUT before I even got to share a link! You all are amazing!
A couple important COVID-related notes:
- There will be no masking or vaccination mandates for PAX East 2025. For more information on our policies, visit our Safety, Security, & Wellness page. With that being said, it is recommended that attendees wear a mask and keep up to date with vaccinations, including booster shots if eligible, as these are the best methods to keep yourself and others from getting sick.
- Masks will no longer be required while in the venue.
- Wash your dang hands!
Anyway, apologies for the delay, but group seating registration is now open!
Group Seating Requirements:
- Your party is considered a group if you have THREE or more people - yes we're dropping it to 3 this year, as capacity is lower and we want to ensure as many people as possible are able to sit together, if desired (pairs, have no fear, we rarely, if ever, have any trouble finding 2 seats together during check-in).
- Groups must pre-register seating assignments prior to PAX, or else seats will be based on first come, first served availability.
- Requests are taken on a first come, first served basis.
- Passes for ALL 4 days of PAX! (recommended to maximize fun, but not a hard requirement)
- If you have multiple BYOC badges, those count as seats (group members) so if you have 3 BYOC passes in your "group" (regardless the number of physical bodies) you qualify for group seating.
To request group seating, use the seating chart below to choose your seats and email pax_pc@paxsite.com
- Include the following information when requesting:
- Group Name
- Number of People (include handles too)
- Desired Location (include a backup location, too, as we can't promise we'll be able to keep the chart up-to-the-minute updated)
Click here to view the Seating chart!
Please note the seating chart is final a(last I was told). If the seating chart does change and we have sufficient notice, we will give any groups who request it the opportunity to re-pick their seating. If we don't have sufficient notice, we will choose new seats for your group, doing our best to mimic what you chose in the old seating chart. Veteran attendees will notice the top right corner has changed as we have sold A LOT of BYOC tickets this year. That does mean our beloved shuffleboard may be gone this PAX, but Meowtor and Quik are scheming on the Discords trying to come up with creative events to take it's place in it's stead.
The seating chart above is most definitely not to scale. For those of you who have attended in the past, we will be in the same place as past years. We will still be using the 8 foot tables from previous years instead of the usual 6 foot tables from the pre pandemic times. (while still maintaining 2 attendees per table to encourage a little social distancing)

I dunno... Do I count as first being the OP? Or is it only available to comments?
That said... I know Drogith asked about it over on CoRe, but just in case this is a thread people only check in annually (which seems the case) I figured it's important that anyone else taking part in this thread know that the PA forums are permanently winding down in a little under a month, on or around May 20.
That means things should still be running by the time it's PAX East O'clock, but people here/there will probably want to talk to each other about alternate arrangements for future events. Losing contact with each other outside of the con itself would be less than ideal!
