Title: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: murdoc on April 17, 2013, 11:41:17 AM So, tickets for PAX Prime went on sale today and the 4 day passes sold out in about 20 minutes.
I would suggest for anyone wanting to go, you go buy your passes soon. http://www.showclix.com/event/3750599/ Title: Re: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: Samwise on April 17, 2013, 11:52:27 AM Dafuq.
(edit) The ticketing site has a queue. There is a QUEUE to get to the WEBSITE where you ORDER tickets for the actual thing. They need to just do this as a lottery or make it ridiculously expensive or something, it's gotten stupid. Playing "who can hammer our servers the hardest" is the worst way to distribute a finite resource. Title: Re: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: Stormwaltz on April 17, 2013, 12:15:19 PM Uh, geez. I was thinking of going since I'm west coast now, but... yeah, maybe not. EDIT: I mean, I won't have the money to consider tickets until Friday.

I got to the purchase page an hour later, and all the 4 day passes were sold out. So, four one-day passes it is. Looks like it took a few hours to sell out Saturday passes and everything was gone within six hours.
The one thing that worked out well for me, was that I had a meeting I had to attend ten minutes after the tweet - the queue page was still up when I got back. Title: Re: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: Samwise on April 22, 2013, 10:24:03 AM Yeah, I would have gotten the four one-day passes but they were already sold out for Saturday by the time I got through the queue. Not worth flying to Seattle if I'm gonna miss the best day.
Title: Re: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: Samwise on May 15, 2013, 08:33:08 PM Some folks at Bungie really want me to take a trip to Seattle so they can pick my brain about some stuff, so they're bribing me with a PAX ticket. :drill:
About time my stupid brain did something useful. Title: Re: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: Bunk on August 19, 2013, 12:33:37 PM So if anyone wants a set of PAX Prime tickets, I have an extra set to sell. (My cancer ridden buddy has pulled out. Fuck Cancer)
Title: Re: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: Samwise on August 29, 2013, 12:39:26 AM I am currently on the train going through Sacramento, will be in Seattle tomorrow night. :drill: Bunk and Murdoc, are you guys gonna be there? You should go on the HP Pubcraft crawl on Saturday.
Title: Re: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: murdoc on August 29, 2013, 07:24:47 AM I was going to buy Bunk's extra passes, but with two kids now it's a little more difficult to go to Seattle for 4 days on the spur of the moment :(
No PAX for me this year. Title: Re: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: Bunk on August 29, 2013, 07:47:14 AM I'll be there tomorrow morning. Staying at the Red Lion, so I'll probably be down in the Elephant and Castle most nights.
I'll look into that pub crawl. Title: Re: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: Abelian75 on August 31, 2013, 11:07:59 PM Man, this is my first year living in Seattle, and being able to hop on a bus and get to PAX in fifteen minutes makes it pretty goddamn awesome.
Title: Re: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: schild on August 31, 2013, 11:15:50 PM Yea, it's like me being able to walk to afterparties for SXSW or ACL.
Except I don't have to deal with gamers. /humblebrag Title: Re: Pax Prime 2013 Post by: Samwise on September 01, 2013, 10:22:33 AM Last time I did the concerts instead of the afterparties, and I have to say the afterparties are working out better. Less waiting in lines for sure, and I get to drink.
