In order to welcome as many fans as possible, this PAX East introduces a new Early Bird four-day badge price of $224.99, with service fee included. This represents the lowest cost for a four-day badge this decade. Bring the family with new single-day kids’ badges, and reduced single-day adult badge prices for Thursday and Friday.
Gear up for four days filled with demos from some of the biggest names in AAA, AA, and indie gaming. Go analog with tabletop exhibitors, check out the latest tech from hardware manufacturers, or grab apparel and accessories from merch vendors. Expect exhibitors to be announced over the coming months.
PAX East attendees can dive into a lineup of entertaining and thoughtful panels, featuring fan-favorite media personalities, content creators, and video game industry professionals. The full content lineup will be revealed ahead of the show, with livestreams available on the official PAX YouTube and Twitch channels.
Other activities include esports competitions with cash prizes on the line, the return of PAX Arena’s Stream Stars tournament, console and tabletop freeplay areas, concerts, cosplay meetups, and much more.
“Imagine that I’m ringing one of those Wild West cowboy triangle things,” said Jerry Holkins, co-founder of Child’s Play Charity, Penny Arcade, and PAX. “Come and git it!”
