PAX East 2013 Badges on Sale Now!

So looking at the schedule, it seems like two panels that I'm really looking forward to are back to back: Bioshock Infinite and Dust. Any PAX veterans have luck getting to back-to-back panels?

If their big, popular ones, Nope.jpg.

You may have good luck getting from bioshock to dust. But not vice versa, that bioshock line is gonna be LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG.

I'm trying to figure out if I wanna skip the Persona 4 Arena tournament to get into the Capcom panel...but I dunno.

I figured it will be that way for the Bioshock line. Maybe I'll be luck enough to get into the Dust panel if I'm fast.
 
Also please don't post full/HQ pictures of your badges online to try and prevent scammers from making bootleg badges. PAX Prime was almost shut down one year because they were way over capacity because of fake badges being so rampant.

Should be ok, they have UV reactive images printed in them now, but wouldn't be surprised if some fakes popped up closer to the date.
 
I believe counterfeiting is less of an issue for PAX East than it is for PAX Prime.

I also fully expect this year's PAX Prime to be a hotbed of counterfeiting, because I have a feeling it's going to be crazy popular, what with the new consoles.
 
I have a 3 day pass coming to me but I can not make the trip. If anyone is interested in buying it PM me. PayPal works for me.

Awesome! Love this app. Saves me from having to dig the PAX booklet out of my backpack every time I want to check the map or schedule.

The new consoles combined with how fast Prime badges appeared to sell out last year is going to make it even harder to snag one this year. I'm betting they'll legitimately be gone within a day, assuming the ticketing system doesn't break again.

Yeah, I expect a full sell-out in 24 hours, which worries me, as I've already booked my flight and hotel for Prime. Seemed the best way to get cheap airfare, and all the hotels have availability. Now I just need to get my passes.

Unless Prime 2012 only sold so quickly due to the LoL tournament, which I suspect might be the case. I guess we'll find out soon...

Already booked? Have they even announced the dates?

The scheduling options... you can only set a reminder to appear before one hour, one day, 1 week or 2 weeks. Is that a Guidebook limitation?

Also a question for PAX guys. If there's a panel in one of the ballrooms, and a panel I want to see is in the same room afterwards, can I stay seated? I highly doubt it but I wanted to ask anyway.

They allowed this a couple of years ago in the biggest theater for a couple of things, but I'm guessing no.
 
don't know the rules, but i have 2 separate badges for each day...i'm likely going alone on Saturday so I'm likely to have some badges for sale.

I believe its totally sold out.

Yeah, unless it's in the main theater and they specifically state that they won't be reseating in-between, assume that you will be kicked out after a panel.

That is more a function of how far away you are trying to set a reminder (from when the actual event takes place). The times compress as the event gets closer, so if you plan your schedule a week or so ahead (which is recommended as it will change a bunch up to then) the alert times will be something like 30/60/90 mins. I realize this isn't ideal for cons like PAX and its something we're working on updating.

Was probably only meant to viewed on mobile sites, but I've saved the images of the floors already. No idea why these aren't on the main site.

If anyone has an image/info on all the exhibitors and corresponding number, that would be great.
 
For everyone wondering about food options who wants to avoid the prices and relative quality available in the convention hall, I can't stress enough that the rest of the city is not far away. If the weather is nice it's definitely walkable to get to Downtown Crossing. It isn't the shortest walk, and if you're looking for lunch and have a panel you want to line up for in an hour it's not gonna work, but it's definitely doable otherwise. And if you don't want to walk or the weather isn't cooperating, you can catch the silver line or the bus to South Station and beyond. Sanjuro mentioned taxis, which is always an option as well(Uber is available too which I haven't used but have heard great things; just keep the $15 minimum in mind).

Lots of options for fast, cheap(compared to the convention hall) food near South Station. There's a food court inside: McDonalds, Pizzeria Regina, Au Bon Pain, etc. Down the street a bit to Downtown Crossing and you've got Five Guys and the superior Uburger, Qdoba, Chipotle, Quiznos, Wendy's, Burger King, etc. A Dunkin Donuts roughly every three to four feet and there's also like three CVS stores within the immediate area. Tons of "real" food options too, which could be an enormous post all on their own. People have mentioned options in Chinatown, which is very close by, and you've got everything from Fajitas and Ritas to Radius and Ruth's Chris in the area.
 
Cabs are dirt cheap in Boston, especially if you have a few people with you. Can get to proper food options in no time.

Problem is, I'm usually wanting food while drunk late at night!
 
finally, the map :D
but damn, first time in years no rockstar booth

i wanted GTA V to be playable :'( , lol its not gonna be ready for September.


what is microsoft gonna have 0_o and i wanted Sony's booth to be huge, no PS4 then :(
 
PAX east this year is going to be bit chaotic for me this year. IHSA Regional Horse Show is on the same Saturday of PAX east. I am only 3 points away from qualifying and there is only Shows left so I need to get at least one Pink(2) and one Green(1) Ribbon or better(5th and 6th) or get a White(3) Ribbon(4th) or better at these shows. So I will be going Boston on Friday then on Saturday going to horse show then afterwards going back to Boston. I also got custom tall boots coming in the week of Regionals and PAX east and they need to broken in. So I might have no choice but to break them in during the Friday of PAX east which means ill be wearing britches with the boots as well.

I would like to have nice pretty blue ribbon(1st and also sends me to zones) me on sunday :)

Uber is also in Boston and I use it exclusively now in place of cabs, it's great. Plus you feel like a hotshot when the black Lincoln Town Car pulls up to the convention and the driver opens the door for you. :P

I did this a lot last year. I refused to eat at the convention center, and the ride to Boston was fairly short. It only took about 45 minutes to an hour to eat and return to the convention center. But, I was more interested in exploring Boston rather than PAXing it out. Hell if I was going again this year, I probably would have done the same exact thing!
