PAX East 2018 & Badge sales

Just a quick heads up for anyone who was interested in watching for PAX East 2018 and not having to buy tickets from scalpers or expensive sites.

As of September 29th...

Badges will not go on sale until after PAX AUS has concluded which is Oct. 27-29th. https://twitter.com/official_pax/status/913819480337338369

As with PAX West, PAX East is difficult to buy tickets directly as days tend to sell out quickly. Last year tickets sold out in a matter of 1 hour or less if I remember correctly. Luckily there will be 4 days to choose from instead of 3, so maybe tickets will last a bit longer.

When badges go on sale, they are announced via twitter -- here's some good resources to have if you are seriously considering going! My suggestion, if you are on the fence, take October to decide 100% on tickets as you really have to jump on them when they become available.

Great resources

Pax_Badges - PAX twitter account in charge of announcing badge sales.

Official_PAX - Great for general announcements like timing of badge sales.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PAX/ - Another great place for questions/discussion/announcements regarding all things PAX.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PaxPassExchange/ - Great resource for trading or buying badges but trust at your own discretion. This is how I bought my badges last year, if you end up using the exchange, follow all recommendations on the subreddit: INCLUDING, using a payment protection feature like paypal's vendor fees (instead of the "gifting" feature). You may pay fees, but it's worth it to get a refund in case of scamming.
