Hey folks- this is an old post.
With PAX 2018 (this was from 2017!) wrapped up, I'll be making a new post for next year's PAX Aus AS SOON AS THE DATES ARE ANNOUNCED.
We had a much larger turnout this year, and next year, we hope to be more organized with an even bigger turnout again.
So what can you expect to see from more organization?
-Shared accommodation. I'll be working with Uriel Valentine (and an AQ representative, if they like) in order to bulk-book accommodation as close to the exhibition centre as possible. Securing a room will require pre-payment.
We will be aiming to secure accommodation in a hotel within 3 to 5 minutes walk of the exhibition centre.
-Flight booking. If you don't want to worry about booking your own flights, I (or we!) will take it up ourselves to get people organized onto flights - with a preference towards flying groups of friends together for travel buddies & security! Flights will require pre-payment.
-PAX Ticket Purchasing! If you want us to get your ticket and hand deliver it to you, this will also be an option. PAX Ticket purchases will require a 50% down-payment for a 3-day badge and a 25% down payment for any single-day badge purchases.
Please be aware that any and all pre-payments will only be refundable if a refund can be secured from the vendor (Hotel/Airline/Penny Arcade). So keep this in mind:
-Hotel bookings can be cancelled generally up to 2 weeks before check-in for a full refund.
-Flights can be cancelled generally up to 1 week before check-in for a full refund, but may require a higher ticket tier ("Economy Saver" type tickets are generally non-refundable and non-transferable)
-PAX passes can only be refunded if you purchase badge insurance.
