    PAX East is by far my most difficult vacation to plan for. I have to begin like 7-9 months in advance. Seeing who is going, how many passes we need, who is going to be buying them, how many we need to sleep, securing nearby room(s) that can fit all of us in case we don't get rooms at the con rate, trying to keep my schedule free from 10 AM - 4 PM ET on the days I think tickets may drop etc. It's stressful especially if I have to be on the road during a prime ticket time, but feels so good when the last tickets have been purchased and everyone has been notified. The actual PAX itself is easy, we pick a panel schedule but rarely stick to it, we just go with the flow of the moment and always have a great time.

    It's Oct 30-Nov 1st.

    So my money would be either around the 4th or 11th of Nov for tickets going on sale.

    Makes sense they will avoid Thanksgiving week, but we'll see.

  • jdixon1972jdixon1972 Registered User regular
    So, basically, it's going to be like it was last year. Stressing as it gets closer and closer to Thanksgiving. UGH. And yeh, please, Khoo, announce the official dates already!!!! At least last year we new when the dates for 15 were right after 14!!!!

    If i announce the dates, that dramatically decreases your chance of getting a ticket on the day of.

    I'm much more concerned with the official dates of PAX East itself. We know we need to keep an eye out for ticket sales, but event dates were announced then pulled from the site and now the Boston Convention site has another event booked April 23-24 when I believe the pulled dates for PAX were April 22-24 [correct me if I'm wrong].
    We are actually doing PAX/Boston as our Honeymoon next year, so I'm getting real antsy not being able to plan anything yet without actual dates.

    Yeah, I mean the dates of PAX itself, as the dates where on the BCEC website (April 22-24) but has since been taken off, which raises everyone's suspicions of a potential date change even though there's a 10 year contract. etc.

    "4/23/2016 - 4/24/2016 New England Cannabis Convention Hynes 5,000"

    It's at the Hynes which is in the Sheraton, so no conflicts there.

    Thanks PurpleBek, I must have looked at the event above which was BCEC.
    Still going bananas here, the hotel we wanted to stay in has gone up $170 a night in the past month for the suite for these dates. I know there will be partnered hotel discounts but not for the room type we want.

    Yeah, flights have gone up £200, last year when dates were 100% I booked them back in September.

  • VGguy49VGguy49 Registered User regular
    Yeah at least the dates for the con itself and the Soon for the tickets would be fine for now

    F5 and TweetDeck are enough when it comes time

    I'm sorry. I meant the official dates for the convention itself, not the date that tickets would go onsale. I know the ticket dates would never been announced beforehand. Sorry for the confusion.

    Robert - Is is safe to say then that the East event dates [not ticket sale date] won't officially be announced until after Pax Aus is finished?

    Did they even update before tickets went live last year? I want to say no, but does anyone else remember?

    The actual dates of the 2015 event were announced almost immediately after the end of 2014 (again, i'm talking the dates of the event, not the ticket sales date).

  • PurpleBekPurpleBek Manchester, EnglandRegistered User regular
    Not on the PAX website, I think they update slightly before, along with the big ol' "SOON"

    I remember last year, slightly before ticket sales went live, they put the dates of the event on the website and under ticketing it said "SOON." I want to say it was about a week before the tickets went live, but that may be an over estimate.

    Speaking of which.. is there any way to raise the volume of tweetdeck tweets or get Windows 10 Twitter app to notify me when a specific user tweets... AND where is the download for that PAX East ticket tracker app?

    I'm glad I don't have to worry about getting myself a badge. Being the runner up to the Omegathon has its perks. :D

    Hoping that I have success getting a Saturday badge this year as well.

    I have a question though. Will PAX East do away with weekend passes and will require you to buy 3 individual badges, similar to Prime?

    I got my ipod notifications to work, but for me, during the times when tickets are most likely to go on sales, I will probably be on my PC.

    Once the actual event dates are announced, Twitter will be super busy to watch for the ticket announcement. I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure.

    Was having the same issue with not receiving notifications from twitter. Deleted my phone and added it back. Hopefully that fixes the issue. Just gotta wait for Robert to tweet to test it! :)
