Yeah I got mine too.I got mine!!
It's easy to claim that on the internet.
That was them being impressed and not luck. They probably couldn't believe someone was still using a PBG4.
Got a tip for us?

The system is really rotten. Ticket is not reserved when you add it to the cart!
I was entering payment information and clicked Next got message "There was an error, please return to store page". And my shopping cart empty, ticket gone.
So the people who are typing their address faster got tickets.

WUt...
I have no idea what your talking about. Im not promoting that website actually I think I will pull that right now. Nor am I lying. Last year I went... and yes, I did talk to Apple developers, however there are loads of developers "filling in" on topics they are not really competent to discuss. I attended 4 different sessions and basically got half an answer to.

Apple Needs to address this ASAP...
My business partner and I were accessing the login page simultaneously with auto-fill enabled at 1:00 sharp. He was able to get in and order his ticket but I kept getting bounced to a generic error page that would redirect me back to the main WWDC Tickets page and kept getting the same thing every time I'd click through. Now despite the fact that he got a ticket, we're both pissed because the plan was for us to be able to go to this event together and be able to network/learn in parallel.
Apple needs to:
a) Staff-up more engineers for events like this,
b) Have multiple WWDC events throughout the year,
c) Have a better ecomm system for processing these requests.
We've been doing iOS dev for almost 3 years now and my business runs completely on Apple technology. It's extremely disenfranchising to run into a situation like this and significantly reduces our enthusiasm as proud Apple advocates both in our personal and professional lives.

Well, with the other method people would be literally asleep when tickets sales were announced, so people in many time zones, or with different work schedules, would be completely out of luck.
So what you guys are saying is they are out of tickets already?
It would be cool to go but $2500+ after tickets, flight and hotel not to mention the time I would have to take off work just isnt worth it.
I do dream of a time when I can spend that much money and it will be worth it though.

On the bright side you saved $1600
I do freelancing so in a way I could say I lost potential money from making new contacts etc
If I managed to buy tickets, I could only transfer them to people who have been on my team yesterday (before the ticket sale was announced). They have been non-transferable except inside a team for years.
Same thing happened to us... do what we are going to
We got one ticket for 2 developers. We will both attend and have to pick and choose which sessions who gets to go to while the other guys "watches" the vid sessions after they post them back at that hotel.
