The bad news is we're out of 3-day badges. Sorry about that...it seems even the mighty BCEC has limits. Speaking of which, do we need to remind you that there are villians in the world who would love to create a fake badge and sell them for real money? And that we simply cannot honor those fake badges for the same reasons we cannot just create more? Didn't think so.

The good news is we do still have an allotment of single days available. Rejoice!

Two things!

Thirdly (I lied), if you haven't yet picked up your three day pass, you might want to think about it.

On that same note, if you want your pass for free in exchange for dedicating your entire life to us, perhaps you should check out this job description. (I guess salary and benefits also come with said free pass)

Registration for PAX East 2012 has officially opened! As a heads up, this falls on Easter weekend. It wasn't our first choice by any means, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we're working with the city to hopefully prevent it from happening again. If you can make it, you'll probably want to check out our hotels page for discounted rates.

Also be warned, at Prime we had some issues with counterfeit badges being sold to unsuspecting attendees. Since we sell out of badges each year, when counterfeit badges get out there we run into over-capacity issues. Sure, this results in a more crowded show with longer lines etc, but our big concern is that it ends up creating a very real safety hazard. So be warned: If you buy a badge from someone that ISN'T us, you run the risk of getting stuck with a counterfeit badge which will not get you into the show. We need to take a hard line stance on this this year and are ramping up anti-counterfeiting measures, so as much as it pains us, if you buy a fake badge, we won't be able to help you. So use your head, be careful, and know the risks before buying from third parties!

See you soon!
