Attending
For anything popular (anything Penny Arcade related, the Keynote, the Concerts) it is generally advised to line up an hour before panel (or concert) start time.
Okay so where do I line up?
For more PAX Prime Main Theatre information see the Paramount Theater article.
Is the Main Theatre cleared between panels?
Yes. The only exception being panels that have less than a 30 minute gap between each other. For example, after the Friday morning Keynote has finished, the theatre is not cleared since the first Penny Arcade Q&A session begins in 30 minutes (or less).
How about the concerts? Is the theatre cleared after each performer?
Nope. If the theatre has reached maximum capacity, no one else (expect Police, Fire Rescue, EMS, PA Staff, Main Theatre Enforcers and other important looking people) will be allowed in until other attendees leave the theatre. This is due to the fact that PAX must abide by the buildings fire code of maximum occupants. If you would like to attend the Concerts it is advised that line up at least one hour before the start time. Follow @PAX_lines on twitter for updates on line situations throughout PAX.
