    Since i experienced my first Pax last year in Boston i really wanna go back(you could say i have the Pax itch). Though i'm unsure of trusting some random seller on Ebay for a ticket.

    Is it not possible to legally buy passes at the door day of the event?

    i wouldnt worry much. you would be covered by paypal's buyer protection. the only thing you can definitely count on getting is price gouged....i have 5 friday badges that are all but worthless to me now because GB's panel is on Saturday grrrr

    The bigger concern is getting ripped off with a fake. Some of the fakes can look legit, but they are pretty clear about cracking down on them and will revoke your (fake) pass.

    @chaser324: i know....im in such a crappy position. the whole reason i wanted to go to pax was the gb panel. but i had to take a shot in the dark. now getting a badge is just not gonna happen with these soulless resellers. in a perfect world, someone will trade me but hopes are pretty low at this point....

    @MikeFerrari7: i will probably be selling two. one at least. just havent decided.

    Please note that in the unlikely event of any issue you might have with your ticket purchase you can contact eBay Customer Service up to 7 days after the event.

    I bought 4 one-day passes off ebay 2 years ago and didn't have any problem aside from the ridiculous price, so I think it's as safe as buying anything else off ebay.
