Q about PAX Prime?

All I want to do is go see some of the E-sport events that are going on. Do I still need a PAX ticket for this? And just to make sure, all the tickets for it are sold out correct?

All the tickets are sold out. You will need a ticket to get into PAX at all. However, they are doing some streaming online this year. I think this might be mostly panels though, i'm not sure if it includes esports.

You can probably find a ticket on craigslist for a really terrible price if you just have to see something in person.

Nah, I was more just curious. I had no idea that prime was going to be the regional finals for LoL until like 2 days ago. I live on vancouver island so I was kind of stoked to maybe get into it, but then saw that badges were sold out, but was not too sure if badges were needed for the e-sports. Meh, my bad for being lazy. Next year I will know.

No. It means even though a game is still in beta, it is still keeping up with LoL.

FWIW it is pretty fun and relatively easy for you to get to. You should definitely go next year as it is definitely worth it for more than just esports.
