PAX Prime 2014 - Prepare Yourselves

While we longingly gaze up to the stars in wait of the Destiny Beta, and later it's eventual release, there is an equally pressing event fast approaching. With the conclusion of PAX East just yesterday the sleeping Goliath has begun waking up. Historically PAX badges go on sale sometime after PAX East, and if the last years have been any indication of the trends, they're going to go lightning quick this year. It's time to turn your gaze down from the heavens and towards your computer screens. Plan on going to PAX this year? Say hi, join the group, and bake me a cake (why not?). I'll try to keep this thread as up-to-date as I can, and I'll try to give as much notification as I can about when the PAX Badges go on sale (I'm *usually* pretty good at catching them). Message me or post here if you'd like to be added to my PM list for when badges go on sale. I can't promise anything, but like I said, usually I'm very good at catching it. In the mean time, recount your past PAX conquests and your future plans. I look forward to seeing you all in August and bringing the Communi7y Army together again. EDIT: It seems a Penny Arcade user has made a handy little spreadsheet: [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AilPyWyh2FlbdGtjaG1pYjlMWENKaEdxY2dGRU95V1E&usp=sharing#gid=0]Look at me! :D[/url] EDIT EDIT: So we're in uncharted waters here. PAX badges have never been sold this late, so I honestly have no educated guess anymore as to when they'll possibly go on sale. The best advice I can give all of you is to keep an eye on the PAX Prime website. When things start changing, like last years ads and articles going down, maybe some styles too, whatever, expect that badges will go on sale either that day, or very close to it. Other then that, make sure you've got SMS alerts on Twitter for @Official_Pax, they always tweet when badges go on sale, though you'll need to act quick.

    Geez, almost didnt get passes. I didn't have my card on me at the time, and Prime doesn't accept paypal. I had to have my Dad text me [i]his[/i] card info. I refreshed the registration page almost immediately before [u]and [/u] after the tweet went out, and the page still said "Soon", which is a definite improvement over last year, where the text came minutes after the site was updated. I only had to wait in the queue for about 4 or 5 minutes (exited queue at around 10:22), but 4 day badges were already sold out. I had all 4 single days in the cart while I waited for my card numbers, but got kicked out because of the timer. When I [i]did[/i] get the text, I got the wrong number of passes, so I had to go back to correct it, and then when I checked out, Saturday was sold out (said "unable to place order of Saturdays"), but when I used the back button (again) it said Friday and Sunday was sold out, and not Saturday. It only let me get one, so I assume it came from someone who timed out or canceled at checkout. I got a Saturday and Monday passes, so I'll have to buy the other days on Craigslist/eBay later this year. This has gone much better than last year, where I didn't get any passes, especially considering I got this years passes on my phone, with crappy cell signal.
