More than likely shit out of luck. The policy is no refunds on international. My wife thought it would be sweet to surprise me with tickets to the first PAX AUS. She didn't realize how expensive and long flights were (I knew there was 0% chance of attending). I wrote in asking for a refund anyway, and reached out to Heels, who said it wouldn't be a problem and he'd hook me up. Never heard another word, never saw a cent. Didn't press the issue.
One of my reasons for attending BGG.CON was by request of PAX Tabletop to act as outreach to some publishers who don't have PAX on their radar. Could have as many as 10 new big players join the PAX scene, and some as early as this coming South.

Generally, they make a schedule, then email everyone who's on that schedule to confirm. I assume there is a second round of replacement or filling in holes based on those confirmations or lack thereof.
I had to confirm our attendance before December 4th, which is only in a few days.
Not too long after that, the send a bulk email to everyone who had any panels rejected.
I guess my "Demystifying BoardGameGeek" lecture didn't make the cut. It was a last-minute idea when I saw they extended the call. Silly idea at first, but the more I thought about it and started taking down some notes, it might actually be useful for PAX tabletop audience.
I think they are in the second round at this point since I have not heard of anything back on rejection on my Panel. Just going to do the waiting game.
This weekend I learned apparently Tresi is running some kind of RPG for us at South? ;]
I want to play some newer board games this con. The Voyages of Marco Polo, Grand Austria Hotel, and Food Chain Magnate would make a good menu. I also want to play more Amun-Re if Rym finds a way to bring it.

Make a big sacrifice to the gods and things may go your way.
I want to try Mombasa. I missed my chance at an Essen copy, but if you bring it, that's an opportunity to try at PAX before deciding whether I want it. I also want to try 504, but I'm almost certain I have no need for my own copy.

I mean, PAX has never even once not given us a slot or three. And our stuff is always popular. But I still can't just assume... ;^)
I guess that means the badge I paid for will simply be lost in the ether.
I don't regret the purchase, I still think it was the correct decision given that I had a solid chance of going at the time.
That being said, if I had known that Fri/Sat/Sun passes would still be available at this point in time I would have held off on it.
I'm flying out Sunday right after our second panel for the ski trip.
