\"\"<\/a>To the surprise of everyone, including I would assume the expo organizers, \u00a0PAX Prime<\/a> has sold every single pass in under 48 hrs.<\/p>\n

I personally was completely taken off guard. \u00a0I was on the road for work, but I made an effort to check the PAX Prime website at least once a day for the past week on my smartphone.<\/p>\n

After a failed attempt to launch registration on April 25th, it was apparent that attendee registration would again launch any day. \u00a0I had checked in the morning on May 2nd but there were no updates. \u00a0I decided to check again in the evening and BAM!!! 3 day passes were already sold out. \u00a0I was like WTF!!!!! \u00a0How could they be sold out of 3 day passes already, I just checked that morning and they weren’t even available yet.<\/p>\n

Without\u00a0hesitation I picked up 2 sets of 3×1 day passes for my son and I. \u00a0Having to pay $40 extra each is kinda sucky, but $40 is pretty insignificant in comparison to the rest of the costs involved in\u00a0travelling\u00a0to Seattle for a weekend. \u00a0A friend of mine who has been going to PAX longer than I have didn’t even get a single pass. \u00a0Now that’s pretty damn sad.<\/p>\n

Browsing the PAX forums<\/a>, it appears that many long time attendees were also unable to secure passes, which is horrible. \u00a0I guess we should expect a lot of new faces this year, either that or scalpers have\u00a0weaseled\u00a0their way in and ruined it for everyone. \u00a0\ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
