Cool line-ups. Never been to PAX and so i was wondering what the theatres are like for these concerts... Ive seen a few youtube videos from the 06 PAX concerts. And would it be rude of me to leave in the middle of it? Are there drinks allowed? Place to get drinks in there? Food? Seating? I just have alot of general questions and i want to hear your thoughts. Being as im 5 foot 8... if we are standing my view will be limited..

    • New venue, giant concert rooms
    • Yes you can leave the concert when you want, but your spot will most likely be gone.
    • Drinks maybe thats probably a staff question.

    I doubt there will be drinks allowed, since there is no minimum age requirement (or are you not talking about alcohol?). In the past I have taken water and stuff in without any issues.

    No alcohol. At all.

    I'm sure water/soda will be ok to bring in as long as you don't spill it or leave the bottles behind.

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

    From clips I've seen, they removed the seats to allow more people to see the shows. I assume they'd do the same this year, what with the outbreak-like multiplication of attendees.

    If you're a lass and are not creeped out wrapping your legs around a stranger's head, then find yourself a geek of the sturdy variety and ask if he can give ya a lift.

    Total PAX newbie here, did I hear something about wristbands or something for these concerts? How does one secure a place for a concert?

    They hand out the majority of wristbands in the morning at the entrance. After that, they have a few batches that they give out throughout the day. Best way to get a wristband is to get in line early-ish before PAX opens for the day.

    Thanks, Tr0tsky.

    Any recommendations on HOW early to get in line?

    Are wristbands handed out the day of the concert?

    Hint: I can spot liars telling me lying lies so they can steal my spot for a wristband!! :)

    Well, I don't know how it will be this year...I got there only about an hour before it opened last year and I got a wristband both days. *shrug*
