PAX East 2012 registration now open

PAX Prime closed out just over two months ago, but the next Penny Arcade-run convention is just around the corner. Organizers sent word via the official Penny Arcade Expo site that registration for PAX East 2012 is now open.

PAX East 2012 will run April 6-8 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. As in previous years, passes are available in single-day and three-day varieties. A single-day pass for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday runs $35, with the full convention pass priced at $65.

The post also addressed counterfeit passes following issues during PAX Prime. Potential attendees are warned that any badges bought outside of the official site may not be real, and anyone carrying a nonofficial badge will not be admitted.

Event organizers also apologized for the scheduling of PAX East 2012 over Easter weekend, saying that it was not their first choice, and they are working to make sure it doesn't happen again in the future.
