Ticket question
I am planning on going in July and would like to know what the difference in the $25 ticket and the $395 ticket is going to be for me. I am going basically to meet some fellow hosters for a few days and just hang out. Would like to go to any of the parties that may happen such as the one Fastservers had last year.
I am coming with my wife and honestly I have no need for the full deal because conference sessions will just serve no real purpose for me so I can't see dropping $800 compared to $150 (if that is $25 x 3 days x 2 people)
Can you please explain exactly what we WON'T be able to access other than meals and speechs with the exhibit hall passes only?
Also any update on when registration will become available, I along with a few others I have spoken with are ready to start booking some flights and rooms seeing as it is getting close with less than 6 months left tickets are probably about as cheap as they are going to be right now.
Also will the hotel offer be available to those with exhibit passes only?
Thank you

The exhibit hall passes get you access to basically everything besides the 32 conference sessions, the breakfasts, and the lunches. Some of the after parties may have limited space, so there will be some type of ticket needed. Details on that will be available at a later time.

Great! I am in the process of buying the exhibit hall pass only and I can not choose 3 days, it will only bill me for one I would assume I would need a pass for each day correct? I will probably be heading to Cali on the third day but figured I would grab the third day anyway just incase I end up sticking around that day.
Also I have one person coming with me won't I need one for each person to enter? Do I need to order under the other persons name also or can I order them somehow under the company name for both of us?
Hotel booking will come right after I get this straightened away.

I seem to remember last year having to buy each ticket we wanted, as a new order in the new persons name.
I assumed the exhibit hall pass was for all 3 days.... I cant believe we would have to buy one for each day.
Ticketting is wierd this year.Matt Wallis

The registration process is a little different this year, but only in the fact that we first prompt for email address and password to create an account, then go on to the contact details. Last year the email/password fields were on the same page.

Thanks sitwist, also the lady at the Mirage said all the rooms have windows but you can get a 'strip view' window for $20/night extra. It is also the deluxe room if any of you want to go to the site and check it out.

Just phoned up and booked us some rooms.
Also paid $20/night more for a strip room viewing the vulcano out front of the hotel
I assume all the rooms have internet access, forgot to ask.Matt Wallis

We have got flights booked. Still need to book hotel and conference passes though. Based on last year, at this stage I think we will probably just go for the Exhibit Hall passes, but I guess I will see what the conference schedule looks like first. The Exhibit Hall passes still get you into all of the keynotes etc. which is good.
I would agree with what Matt posted above about having to register each attendee separately. It would be good if the registration system asked a simple question like "How many employees from your organisation will be attending?" then if you select say two, it asks you to provide the details for those two individuals. No big deal, but might help to streamline things for those bringing a good number of people along.

It's definately something we'll take into consideration. I don't think it will happen this year, but we'll definately look at it for next year's registration.
