Event Description

PLEASE NOTE: In order to keep things fair, we currently have badge limits of 6 sets per household. If we determine that you are ordering under different names or multiple addresses, all of your orders will be cancelled immediately.

In 2004, the folks at Penny Arcade decided they wanted a show exclusively for gaming. Sure, comics, anime, and other nerd hobbies were cool, and each of those activities had their own events, but what about games? From that idea spawned a small, 4,500 person event in Bellevue, Washington which served as a celebration of the culture and community around gaming of all platforms and genres. Since then, the show hasn't looked back as it expanded across the country (and world) bringing the full PAX experience to as many different regions as we can while also spinning up shows that zoom in on specific elements of the gaming industry. But this...this is where it all started. Welcome home.

Buy your badges before August 4th at 11:59 PM EST to avoid the Will Call line and get them in the mail before PAX West. After July 15th, we will not be able to make edits to your mailing address. Please note that badges will not begin to mail until August. PAX Merchandise will mail separately from badges.
