Whats the best way to get 3-day passes before they sell out? I'll have to follow them on twitter I guess, but beyond that I'm not sure.

I'm totally in the same boat. I'd like to go to the giantbomb panel at least. I'm from Boston and live in JP. Had a chance to go last year from a second hand ticket but I was kind of hesitant because my friends aren't into it so I'd be going alone. But fuck it, the older I get, the less I care about that type of stuff.

Follow them on twitter and be active on the PAX East PA forums. I would have multiple notifications that get pushed to your phone, email w/e. Then be vigilant checking every time you get a notification after PAX prime.

@mikey1138: Pretty much. Follow @OfficialPAX on twitter. Once you're following them, on their twitter page, click on the gear for more user actions and select turn on mobile notifications; enable tweet notifications if prompted. I suggest only doing this after the next PAX you're not going to and before the PAX you want to go to, or you'll get notifications throughout any PAX you aren't attending.

Live in Singapore, gonna be in Boston for the next 4 years attending university. Definitely gonna try getting to PAX East and was thinking the exact same thing, OP.
