I present to you...

PAX 2008 Early Bird Pre-Reg!!!

The PAX 2008 site will go live on Monday, but you guys get first crack at Pre-Reg. Go nuts. :)

Also, Hotel info will be released shortly, so I'd hold off on registering for hotels until we get you the cheap-o rate.

Some guy.

    Problem:

    It only lets me select the physical ticket thing. While the will call thing is great, it will only let me select Canadia and United States as a shipping adress. I don't live in either country.

    Those outside of North America are will-call only. Last year we had issues with passes just not getting to other continents in time, despite us sending them 45 days in advance.

    ...For it to cost more? This is the ground floor. If you don't get on here, it'll only get more "expensive" (which I put in quotes because PAX prices day-of are still a lot less than for other conventions with less to offer).

    Cost more? I don't care. It's not like PAX is an incredibly expensive event. Plus, any opportunity I have to throw my money at G&T is an opportunity I'll take, thanks.

    We're using a new ticketing system: Brown Paper Tickets. These guys are a scrappy local outfit that's a bit more in tune with PAX. Great group of folks that support a lot of indie events and musicians here in Seattle.

    I set up the ticketing pipeline, and while doing so missed the toggle that indicates who pays the Brown Paper Ticket service fee. It's fixed now, and we'll figure out a way to refund those that were overcharged.

    Sorry about that!

    A portion of Brown Paper Tickets profits is given back to the communities we serve. You can help decide where the money from this sale goes by choosing a charity from our current list of recipients.

    What, no Child's Play?

    So I just fill in my name, without the adress? I don't mind the will-call, as my badge got lost in the mail last year.

    Well I bought my ticket but sadly it only allows me to select either Canada or the US, I don't live in either country. I think I may have to email them to explain this as there is the possibility that they will try and ship it to the weird address I gave them. The first part is fine but I really don't live in the US but the UK! Can someone contact them to make sure there is a dialogue box to confirm that you are from outside North America?

    Aye... I mean, I'm shocked that it's still only 40 bucks for 3 days. I've heard of (and desperately wanted to go to, but couldn't possibly afford) conventions whose cost for a similar period of time was *thousands* of dollars... and I imagine they were far less interesting than PAX. Probably sitting around talking about Networking security for three days in a stuffy business room with stale donuts in the corner. =)

    40 (er, 42) bucks to go to a convention that's actually fun? Score! ;-)

    They're cheaper. In the past, it's saved you about $15 for a 3-day pass, IIRC.

    I ask you to read my post again. To quote myself:

    "Well I bought my ticket but sadly it only allows me to select either Canada or the US, I don't live in either country."

    Let's just read the italics again:

    but sadly it only allows me to select either Canada or the US

    This means I had to provide a BAD ADDRESS to progress the order meaning that they think I'm from the US. I emailed them explaining it I just want PA to ask them to fix it.
