ALL BADGES ARE SOLD OUT!

http://prime.paxsite.com/

PAX Prime Badges are Gone Every single badge has been sold, and there will be no extra allotments either online or on-site. We know many of you would still like to attend, but unfortunately, building firecode restricts us from selling any more badges. Along those same lines, if you buy a badge from a third party, we have a series of measures in place to detect counterfeits on-site. Last year there were an extremely high number of fakes, so know that if you're purchasing from anyone that isn't us, you run the risk of having a fake badge and not being allowed into the show. We think it's important to note that we care very little about the money in the "counterfeit badge" situation, but rather when a building is supposed to fit X, but we have X + 5,000 in it... there is a legitimate safety concern. That said, we absolutely cannot let people with fake badges into the show. So please be smart. If you buy from a 3rd party, do so from a trusted source. Thank you.

4 tickets done. Cannot wait. My first PAX was 2010, ready to go back.

HaloGaf meet-up must happen. :P

[Jasoneyu]

Woah def buying that 3 day pass when I get home (and hopefully uncrashes itself). Not gonna last minute the tickets and having to buy individual day passes like last year :(

[FatBaby]

Stupid website traffic. I want to give you my money!

[Deadly Cyclone]

Sucks the price has gone up to $65 from $50 in 2010, but well worth it.

[krae_man]

Stupid site, take my money!

I already booked my flights, $100 cheaper then last year. The Hotel I booked last year was nice and I want to stay there again but they say they have no dates available. Possibly because they got added to the hotel list through the PA hotel list thing?

[Gentleman Jack]

Expected this crush since tickets have sold out faster and faster every year. Next year they'll have to implement something horrible like Blizzcon's online queues.

[creid]

Ugh, I can't decide on a trip to Seattle yet.

How much is your flight? Never gone to Prime before but considering it for this year.

[AlphaTwo00]

SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT. Already?

And still no word on PAXDev.

Unless there's word on PAXDev, I can't put money down on this... :(

[Gentleman Jack]

Oh good the site's back up. 3-day pass is mine. I'll probably kick myself tomorrow for not buying 5 when they sell out tomorrow and they're triple the price on ebay.

[krae_man]

About $415. I have a weird itinerary however. I always flight out of Buffalo/Niagara, then back to Toronto. Flying out of Pearson is expensive as fuck, but flying into Pearson is only slightly more expensive.

[FatBaby]

Got my 3-day tickets! Get hype!

[patrickthehedgehog]

Still not working for me... Any luck in the past 5 minutes?

It wasn't loading for me in Firefox, I switched to IE and it worked fine. Clearing my cache might have worked also but whatever.

You in this year again? Shit. I should go, shouldn't I.

I'm tempted to burn a free ticket for this.

[mclaren777]

What am I missing?

[Dreamwriter]

The web page loads fine for me, but says:

Attendee Registration
Coming Soon

[PigSpeakers]

http://prime.paxsite.com/index.php

They said it's broken.

[TommyT]

The link I posted takes you directly to where you need to order... it goes through just fine. Should add that to the OP.

Although they may have taken down the link for a reason, like maybe the pricing is wrong or sales aren't getting stored or something.

[XANDER CAGE]

When does press registration go up?

EDIT - nevermind, just saw the post about how registration is borked.

[AlphaTwo00]

So it seems like PAXDev Round 2 is a thing, but they'll announce it later...

[TommyT]

Then I'll add use at your own risk. Everything (on my end) went through fine. Confirmation page, e-mail, and card charged.

Take a Megabus to Buffalo and fly out of there. Way cheaper. Like $300 cheaper currently.

Edit: I have a confirmation page but no confirmation email. The loading screen before the confirmation page said "...sending confirmation email" as part of it's thing. I'm scarred.

It took about 10 minutes for my e-mail to show up

Good point, since I'm no longer on a time schedule, I could think about that...

One of the cheaper flights leaves Buffalo Airport Friday at like 6AM and arrives in Seattle at 10:30am. That's the one I'm taking. Saves me one nights hotel and you only miss part of the first day. I did this last year and was able to get to checked into my hotel and at the convention center by 1pm.

Will be my first PAX and my first HaloGAF meet up :D

[patrickthehedgehog]

Using another browser worked with this link.

Yay! See you all there.

[TommyT]

Speaking of... time to buy that shirt from the GAF store!

[Gentleman Jack]

Oof, the cost of flying to seattle has gone up a lot since last year. This could be a dealbreaker :(

[ScreenSplitter]

Let's all show up in pink bodysuits!

Well I'm looking at a much different schedule for PAXDev. I'd have to be in Wednesday morning.

Alright well, Flying out of Buffalo/Niagara will save you plenty of cash on its own. Go network and maybe you'll find yourself a new job.

[DTJAAAAM]

Ordered! Now to nervously wait for the confirmation e-mail...

[Dreamwriter]

Good luck people who are using a secret back door to order when the people running it decided to stop linking there!

[HildyB]

Ordered my pair of 3-day (hope that wasn't a fraudulent link...)

[Gentleman Jack]

There's not a lot of risk involved, it's just an unstable system and they don't want to open the gates again only to see it crash and burn.

[TommyT]

:lol oh jeez

edit: I also quickly created a fraudulent phone system and support line and hired some people to go along with my plan since it's all that is included at the link.

[Jamie OD]

Ordered my 3 day pass. First time going to PAX and I am excited as heck for it!

Edit: At least I hope I did. I put through the order when the registration opened on the official site. The site didn't crash on me.

[YuriLowell]

Passes bought.
First Pax Prime event. Have been to the past 3 Pax Easts.

I'm an east coaster, missed last year and this years East. Went to Prime last year... it was amazing. Pretty much all of Downtown near the convention center is taken over. The event can't be contained to just the Con center. they took over the local hotels and theaters. Nerds and geeks shambling about at all hours. It was just fantastic.

The streets are lined with PAX Prime banners and almost every business from the pier to the convention center has little signs that say 'we love PAX'

It's a nice feeling.

[barrin87]

Woo, time to buy tickets once the site is back up! This will be my first convention ever like this so it will be interesting.

[HP_Wuvcraft]

This is my first time going to PAX. How late can I buy tickets?

[Hypertrooper]

I think you should buy this week.

[Blondie]

Thanks for the direct link TommyT! I just ordered some 3 day passes for me and mine and have already received the confirmation email! PAX is one of the best aspects about living in Seattle! The show floor, the panels, and all the parties and get togethers all over downtown are such a blast!

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I think you should buy this week.

But - but paycheck!
