The "Penny Arcade eXpo"
[b]What is Pax?[/b]
PAX is a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers. We call it a festival because in addition to dedicated tournaments and freeplay areas we've got nerdcore concerts, panel discussions, the weekend-long Omegathon event, and an exhibitor hall filled with booths displaying the latest from top game publishers and developers. Even with all this amazing content the best part of PAX is hanging out with other people who know their shit when it comes to games.
In Other Words : E3 of Seattle, WA. Every system and all the newest games will be previewed here.
[b]How much does PAX cost?[/b]
The three-day pre-registration passes have sold out. Day passes are $30 each in advance, or $35 at the door. Details and the pre-registration link can be found here. The mailing deadline has passed, so any passes purchased from here on in will be picked up at Will Call in the Grand Hyatt Hotel at 7th and Pine.
Your PAX badge is all-access, and is good for all PAX-run events, concerts, parties, panels, and freeplay areas. That said, some sponsor-run events, such as "Sealed deck" and other ranked tournaments, may have an additional fee.
:siren: 3 Day passes are now currently sold out. If you plan to buy tickets late you must buy them by days. 35 dollars each at the door.:siren:
[b]What's the best day to attend?[/b]
Hard to say. The exhibitor hall, freeplay areas, and tournaments are open all three days of PAX. Concerts are Friday and Saturday nights, the final round of the Omegathon is Sunday.
My Opinion : Saturday and Sunday ( Saturday is the Omegathon where gamers game it out, basically major nerd rage and on sunday is where they give out lots of free shit. )
[b]What is The Omegathon?[/b]
Basically a giant competition between 10-20 people in 5 different games, It tests skills and nostalgic memories in order to win on top. 1st place gets to go to the Tokyo Game Show 09 with 5 Grand spending money.
-------------------------------------------------
So what will I expect if I go?
-Left4Dead 2
-Halo:ODST
-Trailers for the newest and upcoming games
-Booth Babes
-Free Shit
-Lan Parties
-Lots and Lots of Shops
--------------------------------------------------
I went last year, so fucking worth it. The tickets are sometimes expensive especially this year since you have to buy tickets for the days instead of all together. I got lots of free shit. I even met Mega64 Over there as well as a bunch of producers and people from various gaming companies. It was a blast.

Sept 4-6th.
Wait, it's in Seattle? So Valve is basically just "going over to a friend's house"?
I think I know of a few guys going (I'm not sure if they are), but it looks cool.
Documentation is expected.

I'm having to catch a plane.
It should be interesting to see what happens now, since PAX took over as "the big expo" while E3 was gone, but now E3 is back. Will PAX still get a bunch of new game announcements and shit going down?

Are you going to announce The Red Box 2 while you're there?
Fratelli: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very proud to announce The Red Box 2! With such amazing games as Scribble Ninja 3!
Security: Please come with us sir

Can I get the collector's edition?
I'm going if it's not sold out.
[editline]06:24AM[/editline]
It's sold out D: I wanted to go last year too, but didn't.
[QUOTE=johanz;16959682]Can I get the collector's edition?[/QUOTE]
I can't find a company that prints steelbooks, and I have no idea how to format the cover for steelbookification, so no.
Where can I get 3 day passes still? I'm sure people are reselling them. I need 2.
[editline]06:28AM[/editline]
OH CRAP I FOUND TWO ON CRAIGSLIST. What were the origional prices? It's $125 for both on CL.
[editline]06:36AM[/editline]
I think they were $50 pre / 55 at the door, is this correct?
60 for all three days.
I'll be going then, if I get the tickets.
This is ok.

Theres no age limit to buy.
13+ is the age (But they just say "Tell your parents where your going")
Just go for it. You buy tickets for seperate days. Get the sat and sun tix.
PS: You are not allowed to bump your own thread before the minimum allowed time has passed. Please wait 59 Day(s), 22 Hour(s), 58 Minute(s), 53 Second(s) before attempting to reply to your own thread

Hey, I like Freezepop :( (wouldn't call it nerdcore, that just sounds idiotic). Never heard of the other bands. Also, you can find 3 day tickets on Craigslist, but you better not get the ones from the guy in Bellevue. Those are mine!
[editline]07:45AM[/editline]
How did you get GHIII? Was it a contest? Because I'm alright at Rockband.
I beat some person who was a paid sponsered player for Guitar Hero 3.
