The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Last year the will call line was nothing, no problem at all. You'll be sitting on your booty a lot longer waiting for the doors to open. And people will be coming in and out making food runs and all that too.
I was so happy my pass came so fast. I work in Redmond so the Postman probably just walked it over.
I'm guessing that mine was supposed to arrive yesterday (I live in NE Seattle), but there was no mail at all, making me think that my badge got taken, as it didn't come today either Oh well, time to wait until Monday and hope that it's there, or wait until August 20 and fix the situation.
People who get a letter with no badge should probably contact the people at PA. I'm not sure exactly who's department this is though.
Actually, I called Brown Paper Tickets, and they were very nice about it. They're sending out a new badge next week.
Thanks guys ^^ i let my boyfriend know.

It seems other folks in the thread have already done this, but if you receive an envelope sans a badge, the Brown Paper Tickets folks will take care of you: support@brownpapertickets.com, 1-800-838-3006.

I knew it looked different. I couldn't put my finger on it.

we need a badges of the past thread. i'm sure it'd get closed down, but i mostly want to see what the 04 badge looked like. i threw mine out on the way out after the show, mostly because i had no idea what p-a was at the time and was pretty high all day.

In '04 they used handstamps for admission after you checked in to verify your admission on Friday...I remember mine fading out just from sleeping. Thankfully we have badges (yes, we do need them).
I have a shirt from every year as well, because I'm smart enough to hit the merch booth first thing Friday (I buy t-shirt to wear them, not to serve as a tent or as a corset).
If I get my badge before you get an answer, I'll take a look and see what you're talking about, although this is my first PAX so if it's an in-joke, it's probably one I won't get.
If you've read the Penny Arcade blog posts that Tycho does, it wouldn't phase you too much. It's nothing in particular, and it's totally a joke and not serious. As he says in the letter, he said something about Jackals in LAST YEARS letter. He was just continuing the joke. Nothing to see here. There is no Jackal convention.
Rather off-topic, but what should I expect to spend on T-Shirts and other things?
I second the above question.
If it's Penny Arcade merch you are asking about, I've generally seen all items similarly priced as what they have in their online store. The exceptions being any deals they have to get all of the books, or sometimes they have combos like "Get any T-shirt and any print for the combo price of $X".
If you are asking about all other merch (say from like Bungie, Rooster Teeth, Pink Godzilla), those prices are set by each of those retailers, and I would also assume are similar to their respective online stores (however you usually won't pay any tax and obviously no shipping, so it's cheaper).

But my mother took it and like buried it outside. Thats technically stealing, as I did pay for it, so I should file a lawsuit.....
Or not. That would be bad.
All hail the Hypno-Spode!

Blame the Mailing System.
But just don't yell and scream at them--you don't want them to get all disgruntled on your arse.

It's on my Nvidia lanyard from last year for now.

IIRC PAX 04 just had admission tickets, no badges at all.

I got my prereg packet in the mail a couple of days back and was wondering...
what the heck is a "jackal" in the terms that it was referring to in the mailing? "Indeed there were more jackals than there were attendees..."

Does that answer the question?
Huh? What is that? Some vintage gaming catalog?
I hope the quality of the shirts is better this year, the lettering on last year's PAX shirt started to fade and come off almost immediately.

I'm definitely in the US. Shouldn't mine be mailed? I registered months ago.
