Got through really easy this year. Luckily had my phone in my hand when the twitter alert went out.
I am just staying Thursday - Saturday. Was able to get the Westin Waterfront as well.

Broke as a joke but a friend bought pairs for Sat and Sun and offered to sell me one of them closer to the show day. :)
Last year I tried to do too much on the one day I went and kinda stressed myself out. I also accidentally threw my debit card in the trash at one point, which was actually a god send because I had already spent too much money and probably would have kept going.

I was considering going but I think I'm going to pass. After going to 7 West's in a row, I think I'm all PAXed out. I want to do something else with my vacation budget. I don't know what that other thing is yet, but I know it's not another PAX.
If the hotels weren't over $200US plus fees/taxes. I paid less for my hotel for PSX 2 years ago in San Francisco.

Oh, just a joke on getting four hotels.
Hotels rooms in this city are expensive and hard to come by with all the events that are usually going on. That's a great place thou.
Got 4 badges, Saturday only. One of those is for my brother as a Christmas present, the other two are for friends. Wasn't able to go last year because the badges sold out so fast.
This year I was smart about it, though. I had the Twitter pages for PAX East send me push notifications. As soon as I got the ticket notification, I went straight to the site and entered the queue.

Yeah, Boston hotel prices are pretty ridiculous no matter when you go.
Yup, that's exactly what I did last year and this year. No more fumbling around with pax checker applications that ended up being slower than following twitter.
Just found out about this.
On the fence whether to go to this, considering it's $53 per day now, and then flight and hotels adding to that.
Not to mention I went to both East AND West (Prime) AND E3 this year.
Either way, I just really hope it's not freezing this time.

Got passes for Fri and Sat. Kind of want to do a third day, but idk.
Also considering a hotel, but they are def pricey and idk if anything close is left.

lol yeah. The last two times I went was just for two days, and I had some hotel points to use for a free night. Only had to focus on flights after.
4 days of badges purchased for my girlfriend and I as well. This'll be my 8th PAX East, and her 3rd. Always love going every year. My friends who recently moved away from Boston are coming back for the weekend too, so the extra day will be fantastic for catching up :)
You should try Neptune's oyster in the North end (great lobster roll) or Island Creek Oyster Bar near Kenmore station or Row 34 near the convention center.
Seconding this, totally do Row 34 for seafood. Unreal oysters (same owners as Island Creek Oyster Bar), and it's wicked close to the convention center in Seaport. I recommend getting a reservation a couple months in advance, but it's worth it. One of my favorite meals in Boston.
Pass this year. I can only go sat+sun and I'm not gonna go just Sunday. It's also too crowded and turned into a giant merch booth (used to be you got shirts + swag for free). Couldn't believe there was an hour+ line to buy shit from the Blizz booth, all of that stuff save for 1 or 2 things is available on their website.
I might try PAX south and/or Unplugged for 2018. Or PSX.

Well a dream finally came true and I'll be attending my first gaming convention and I'll be going with 2 of my best friends. Now to snipe a place to stay.
Saturday is easily the best day, so it's no surprise those badges go the quickest. Usually they're gone in less than an hour. The multi-day badges would last about ten minutes.
I always go there for my first real meal in Boston and it's always been solid
I had the Twitter alert set an everything, but somehow never got notified, and totally forgot about this because I was deathly ill last week. Managed to get tickets for Thursday, Friday, & Sunday, but Saturday was sold out. Consequently, if anyone happens to wind up with an extra Saturday ticket, I'd gladly purchase it from you.
Ah, completely missed this. Honestly I was thinking of going to Pax Prime next year instead of East anyway, so this cements it.
East was fun but the show floor was absurdly packed and any large booth (Nintendo, Dauntless, Absolver, Quake Champions) had stupid-long wait times.
