Every single badge has been sold, and there will be no extra allotments either online or on-site. We know many of you would still like to attend, but unfortunately, building firecode restricts us from selling any more badges.

Along those same lines, if you buy a badge from a third party, we have a series of measures in place to detect counterfeits on-site. Last year there were an extremely high number of fakes, so know that if you're purchasing from anyone that isn't us, you run the risk of having a fake badge and not being allowed into the show.

We think it's important to note that we care very little about the money in the "counterfeit badge" situation, but rather when a building is supposed to fit X, but we have X + 5,000 in it... there is a legitimate safety concern. That said, we absolutely cannot let people with fake badges into the show.

So please be smart. If you buy from a 3rd party, do so from a trusted source. Thank you.

We're shocked to be writing this... but we're completely out of 3-Day badges for PAX Prime 2012. There are still single day passes, and while it's impossible to say how long they will last, it is fair to say "not very long."

But to be perfectly clear: Three-Day passes are gone for good, and the only way to attend PAX is to grab the single day passes that are still available.

Try not to destroy it this time! Note that if you've already registered, there is no need to register again.

For those of you needing a place to stay, enjoy our hotels page.

Here's where we're at:

#1. We tried a new registration vendor this year. It....didn't work out. We are going back to our previous vendor and registration should be set up next week.

#2. For those of you who have successfully registered, we'll shoot you an email next week to confirm your registration.

#3. We're really sorry about this =(.

Greetings!

It's been awhile, or to be more precise, it has been 241 days since PAX Prime 2011 ended.

I hope you are ready to do that PAX thing again, because we are. Registration, Panel Submissions, AND the PAX 10 application are now live. We’ve been busy.

The show is once again taking place in downtown Seattle in the Washington State Convention Center. Well, mostly inside the convention center...we've also acquired the Annex, Paramount, Seattle Sheraton, Grand Hyatt...you get the idea.

Looking for a place to stay? Unfortunately our housing registration system isn't quite ready. If you try to book hotels now, don't be afraid if everything is reserved...it's reserved FOR US. You'll get better luck (and savings) in a week or two when we can push out the hotels system.

We've gotten a lot of emails from people afraid we had sold out of PAX Prime 2012 badges...have no fear, we haven't yet opened registration for Prime 2012. Expect that by the end of the month.

PAX Prime 2012 will take place over Labor Day Weekend, from August 31st through September 2nd.
