early bird tickets sold-out?

[ulysse chenu <ul...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I was hoping to buy an early-bird ticket but they are "sold-out" although
this is the 28/09. The web site said we had until 1st October to get them,
I never saw a mention that there was a limited amount available.
Any chance the window can be reopened?
Thanks.

Fix is in, and early bird tickets are back on sale again, with a new 
deadline of Thursday

We were surprised too...

Sadly it seemed to kick in just after all the people able to fix it went 
home for the weekend :/

We've asked the company that handles registration to re-open the early 
bird rate, which they'll hopefully tackle in about 10 hours time (first 
thing in the morning, German time). So that people who missed out this 
weekend still have a chance, we've asked them to push the end date out to 
the end of Thursday. As it (now) says on the ApacheCon homepage:

----------
Early Bird Tickets return Monday 1st, until Thursday 4th

Early Bird ticket sales were set to end on Monday, but due to a 
communication mix-up the accidentally closed on Saturday... We've asked 
the company that handles ticketing to re-open Early Bird Ticket sales 
first thing on Monday, and to extend the deadline until Thursday 4th 
October to give everyone who missed out a chance to still lock in the 
early-bird rate. Sorry about the mix-up folks!

Keep an eye out for a tweet tomorrow, once the fix has gone in!

Cheers
Nick

Likewise, I have planned to purchase an early-bird ticket for a
colleague. I had planned my decision making and budgeting around the 1
October date, so was surprised to see that the early bird Rate is sold
out. Is this an error? How can I go about purchasing the early bird
ticket? I would like to know that I will be able to purchase one even if
the 1 October date passes without the problem having been fixed.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I'd like to second that issue...
Colleagues and me were relying on the statement that early bird phase 
will be available until October 1st, with no limit concerning the amount 
of sold tickets.
So we were also baffled to find the order form blocked for early tickets 
yesterday.
We dont't buy tickets yet as we are still waiting for the order form to 
offer early bird tickets again.
Maybe it's some misconfiguration and the limited amount should apply to 
the student tickets (as mentioned on the page)?
Any clarification is welcome and needed.

Thanks for organizing the event, we are looking forward to it!

Greetings from Berlin,
Lars
