oh - btw...

since i have a rate of making it to meets about once every 4 or 5 years, if there are still any dcawd stickers and it isn't too late, could someone bring one? i'll bring cashola for it. my glorious new 135hp (for today) ride is demanding it.

The Curse that is ShmooCon Ticket Sales....
Posted On: 2010-11-01 12:55:57
Alright we are still in the process of digging through the chaos of the last hour. Here is what we know:

The server buckled even before ticket sales went live.
The good news is no tickets were sold, no one has missed out on anything.
The bad news is even with our aggressive load testing, y'all managed to overdrive the box.
We're focusing on the Apache configuration based on the logs and data we have.
We'll make another announcement at 6pm EDT with regards to when we will go live with ticket sales. There will be at least 24 hours notice.
And because we still need to find humor in this somewhere:
We had the top twitter post there for a bit.
We must be official now as there is a FakeShmooCon twitter account.
And because we like to poke fun at ourselves we're going to run a contest. Email us your best "Curse of the ShmooCon Ticket Sales" poster/t-shirt design (think campy old horror flick) by Dec 1st. Winner will get their design printed on a t-shirt and two tickets to ShmooCon.

Questions? Email us at info @ shmoocon.org but please be patient with us as we continue to work on this issue.

They need to lower the price. Not everyone can expense it.

Thanks for the heads up. I almost forgot about this!

it's still as cheap as defcon... or within $10 of defcon last year.

i wouldn't expect anything good to come out of a price drop to be honest. i don't think it can be done any cheaper.

Post by **Sabre** » Tue Nov 02, 2010 1:37 pm

SALES WILL OPEN THURSDAY, NOV 4, AT NOON EDT.

Ya, if you've ever gone to "Hack the Con", you'll know that they have to raise the prices. They have come out just a head every year, so they really do need to increase the $$$ so they can buy some of their own stuff

More than likely, I will not be expensing it this year either, so I'll just have to cut back on something else to make up the $$$.

is it within $10 as good as defcon?

how 'bout I just meet you guys for drinks after, then y'all can break down the best talks for me.

If I score tickets, I should think about getting a hotel room. It's a long drive back and forth from Baltimore. I went the first year and traveled back and forth from Laurel. It was terrible. (However, it was much easier to get tickets.)
