    "Although you're not guaranteed a badge just because you're in line, we CAN guarantee that the order you came in will be the order you are served in. Once it's your turn, you'll get kicked over to a different page where you'll have 11 minutes to complete your transaction. PLEASE NOTE: In order to keep things fair, we currently have badge limits of 4 per household (per badge type). If we determine that you are ordering under different names and multiple addresses, all of your orders will be cancelled immediately. Good luck, and thank you again for coming to PAX!

    Get ready – this page will automatically take you to the ticketing system when it’s your turn to purchase tickets!"

    More details on the page, good luck!

    Was in the queue then saw that 3-days are already sold out (apparently within literal minutes), so I'm just not gonna bother this year. I don't have the energy for this rush for tickets/hotels anymore and having to buy individual day passes is just terrible.

    Hope anybody that was able to get stuff has fun!

    Wrong time to use the bathroom for me... missed out on 3 day passes. Sitting in a Queue now to perhaps get my first ever tickets to PAX.

    Edit: Anyone have any tips on places to stay for the weekend? I'm probably just going to AirBNB it.

    Ugh, was on my lunch break and missed the 3-days. Oh well.

    @turboman: There are some hotels that PAX works with to get deals on. They also run shuttles to those places as well. That's what I usually go for.

    Missed the 3 days but got a few passes for each of the individual days. Oh well. Works for me. Those Saturday passes go fast though so get them now if you want em.

    Landed a pair of single day passes for all three days. I am surprised they still offered three day passes after they got rid of the multiday ones at Prime.

    You guys really shouldn't give up so quickly after the three-day passes are gone. There's been talk of doing away with them altogether for quite a while now, and it seems they've already begun to drastically reduce the supply. If you want to go to PAX, you need to just be ok with not getting a three-day badge.

    Missed out on the three day passes but I'm definitely going Saturday, so that's awesome.

    These always go on sale when I am at work and can't get online to buy them in time. I miss the good old days of Pax East where it was a plucky upstart and 3 day passes were easy to get. :D

    I was smart this year and updated my twitter to only notify me when the official Pax account tweets and also Robert Koo. Worked out well I was one of the few to actually get a 3 day pass. Can't wait to see all the cool Giantbomb people again this year!

    Was luckily at my desk when they announcement went out. Got a 3-Day, even though just Friday/Saturday was tempting.

    Was taking out my employee for lunch since its his last week at work. I missed it. My first time not going to PAX. Hope the people that got the tickets are going for their first time and enjoy it. I'm going to start hitting other game cons.

    Anyone ever been to a retro game con?

    I snagged my Friday and Sunday badges, as long as the GB panel is on one of those days i'm good. Unless someone is feeling generous on Ebay i guess Saturday will be my PAX party night. :)

    @hassun: The three day pass is typically a bit more than the cost of two single day passes but less than three. This year, the single days were $50 each ($150 total for all three days) and the three day pass was $105. It's a significant discount, but the quantity of three day passes is so low that you may as well go in just assuming single day passes are your only option.
