Apple Sending Out Additional Invites for WWDC Developer Viewing Event at Apple Park

So what candy bar do I need to buy for a chance at this golden ticket?

Loaded Mac Pro? Something like $60k? Kidding, but it couldn't hurt...

Would love to attend...but I guess I'll settle for catching it online. Should be fun.

So it seems originally picked people have found that Bay Area travel is expensive.

Or they sent out several hundred invites, and a dozen of those people just found out something else has come up that day that they have to attend. I don't see where we have a count of how many people got the new invites (and any informal count is likely to be wildly accurate because not every will post it on social media).

Nobody has been to this exact thing before, because this is the first time they’ve done it. Traditionally a ticket to WWDC was paid ($1600), and did include some kind of gift. It has been a jacket for ten+ years, along with enamel pins the last several. But this is a different thing: a much smaller, one-day only event, to which the tickets are free.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if attendees get something cool, but wouldn’t be too surprised if they don’t, either.

Thanks for your thorough and not sarcastic answer! I love the rare occasion when people on the internet are nice!

Cheers to the lucky few who get to attend the event.

More likely the invited people couldn't afford to attend given current prices.

What air fare isn't these days. Local gas prices in South Bay are ~$6.31/$6.75 USD for regular/premium near Apple campuses.

Low $4 and climbing here in TX.
