PAX Prime 2011, East 2012 dated |
Listed in: News, Events Tags: PAX
Penny Arcade's Robert Khoo divulged the statistics, via Big Download, that this year's Boston event pulled in a whopping 69,500 attendees. That's a huge jump from the 52,290 folks that trooped to last year's event.
"The venue we have this year is massive - it's legitimately 2-3x larger than last year's venue, so the amount of breathing room was fantastic. I didn't hear a single complaint about overcrowding. I never thought I would see the day."
Because of this success, they can't wait to bring gamers the next iteration of the annual event. For the PAX Prime event later this year, it will be happening on August 26th - 28th. Meanwhile, the next PAX East event for 2012 will be commencing on April 7th - 9th next year.
If you were hoping for an overseas event, however, this is what Khoo had to say: "Haha, no sorry - there really isn't anything to say! We look at all sorts of places to see if it's right for PAX. I think the UK rumors got picked up because it's just so... Out there."
Congratulations to the PAX team for pulling off a successful event!
