    I felt like a heavy weight was lifted once I got the confirmation on passes. To those of you still in the trenches, I wish you the best of luck!

    It's unfortunate the Onpeak openned up the hotel regs to the public earlier this morning. A bunch of the good hotels sold really quickly.

    Wait, really? Awww, c'mon. I could have registered hours ago?

    I tried to use OnPeak earlier today and it would only let you do it if you were an Enforcer or an Exhibitor

    You don't mess with the Dragonborn

    I've gotten to the hotel listings, but they don't have a "Go" button. Welp...

    Badge: Check!
    Plane Ticket: Check!

    All that is left is to keep F5ing the hotel page. Guess there is always the hotel thread too.

    You should feel lucky for even getting to the queue. I can't even get into the site at all.

    You should be going to this link: http://www.showclix.com/event/p37836811

    NOT the PAX site. That site is screwed up. It's rather unfortunate, only people knowing to check these forums or twitter are going to know this.

    Anyways, was in queue for like 10 minutes, got through, got three passes. This website system is a great upgrade. Good jerb.

    I am. I had to refresh about 50 times before the queue page finally loaded.

    Finally got through to OnPeak via phone!

    And.....internal and external sites are down, trying to get a developer on it, they're guessing 10-20 minutes for it to be back up....

    Yeah I booked Seaport back in Sept for this very reason. I'd rather worry about just badges instead of badges and hotel

    Tuninator..the "regular" web site for hotels was open for roughly 5 min before they shut it down. The mobile site was live for maybe 30 to 45 min before they shut it down. All around 10 AM.

    Well, damn. That's kinda bull, but ah well, what can you do I guess?

    I think the queue system crashed on me. The animated icon disappeared but I was not taken to the order page.

    It just says "Welcome to the Virtual Queue" with the spinning arrows until you're finally up and it pops, right? I assume so, but I just want to be certain.

    Badges: Check
    Hotel: Check (Thanks to not relying on OnPeak)


    Grades:

    Showclix: B+. Servers held up, queue worked fine, no exploits that I saw
    OnPeak: F-(minus-minus-minus). Thank god I booked a hotel on my own and didn't rely on them, though I tried to use them for a lower rate.

    The official site says: Unfortunately all badges are sold out for PAX East 2013. Additional tickets will not be made available. For general registration questions, email us at registration@paxsite.com.

    Seriously?

    (Nevermind, jumped the gun with my frustration. The next PAX is PAX East _2014_)

    Ya, I'm glad I checked the twitter page though I was still a couple minutes late. Hopefully, the 3-days aren't sold out when I get through.

    Seriously. I actually got through to a reservations page, but there was no "reserve rooms" button to click! I know it's a heavy load, but damn, get it together.

    Hotel page has crashed maybe 5 times now. Everytime I get to the page and hit search, it crashes.

    Considering this was only advertised on Twitter and this forum at the time of launch, I think you're good. It only went up on Facebook like 10 minutes ago, and the main site (which is what I was checking) is useless.

    The main pax site is no longer under stress and seems to be loading better. It is also saying badge available for all still.

    I can see the Search button now, but it's an unclickable image. This is getting ridiculous.

    Unfortunately it can't be used to actually register for tickets. The link in the registration page is broken.

    I was able to book the Hyatt Regency Boston (~20 min walk) just now, so there are still rooms there. Went through the Hyatt site.
