So I got back from a family trip to south america last week, and when I went to buy my 2day pass to PAX today, I found preregistrations were closed >,<
Is there any way of buying a pass? Though the discount would be nice, I'm more concerned with getting in early and not having to stand in those lines. Thanks in advance.

    at the risk of sounding like an ass... we have had a LONG time to pre-register. Since Januaryish I believe.

    it ended on the 1st of july, and since all the pre-reg are walk in with no line, the line to get in shouldnt be that short.

    *laughs* digitalodin, you weren't being an ass; that exact comment was on my mind. The crux of it is that I didn't know that I would be able to make PAX at all until I was already on my trip, not that it should make much of a difference. As for the lines, I endured them last year (REALLY LONG, curved around the block) and I'm pretty sure they will be worse this time around. Unless someone has a brilliant idea, I guess I'll just have to plan my schedule around PAX next year ;)

    I totally forgot about PAX until two days after the pre-regs closed. Its cool though, I don't plan on sleeping most of the weekend so I know I'll be in that line super-early on friday morning... I wonder if there's any power outlets outside the center. The guy I'm going with has a laptop and we both have psx to usb controller adapters... hmm

    We've taken a few steps this year to ensure the line isn't as hectic as in 2004. Everyone that prereg'd was sent a physical badge that with a quick glance gets them into the doors one hour earlier than everyone else.

    The ability to purchase day-of tickets will also be available all day Friday (we'll probably open up ticket sales at about 10 AM) to lighten the line load. You'll be given a physical badge (different than the pre-reg badge) that, with a quick glance, will get you in in no time at all.
