the entire registration page seems down now..

  From @GoogleIO We're really feeling the love on our #io2011 registration site right now! Bear with us and keep refreshing.

Finally got the page to load, pressed submit and... "Thanks for your interest in Google I/O, but registration for this event is now sold out."

  If that's the case, then this really blows. I've been waiting since they announced the dates for io2011 last year. I booked the week off work, I purchased tickets to get there, and sat here this morning ready to purchase my $450 ticket. 503 every fucking minute. GOOGLE FIX YOUR SHIT. Sorry, i'm raging right now.

  I'm getting the "sold out" message to although their twitter feed doesn't really reflect that; I'm hoping it's just a glitch with their service.
fourstar 16y ago
Kinda B.S. when they anticipated such a quick sellout to have the site crap out like that.
- kefs 16y ago
  complete bs. i expect a lot more from google.
bobf 16y ago
Sold out already?
- skullsplitter 16y ago
  also, student option seems to be gone already for 'attendee type'
skullsplitter 16y ago
This is kind of frustrating. Been waiting patiently for registration and now that its open Ive been unable to complete the form successfully due to timeouts/503s etc. And now Im hearing its sold out as well? I hope that maybe a non-web registration channel is opened to take sign ups that the site wasnt able to accomodate.
willwagner 16y ago
I finally got through and registered. I got the "sold out" message but kept on refreshing; it finally let me register. I wouldn't give up hope
bobf 16y ago
@GoogleIO Twitter confirms, sold out in 59 minutes.

If it is really sold out, then I hope that Google will be cracking down on the scalpers this year. I saw a bunch of tickets on eBay last year from people that had plainly bought them betting that the freebies would be worth more (usually attendance-only, freebies not included)
- justinsb 16y ago
  And I think I figured out how to do it... Google needs to announce that they won't give anything away this year! http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2190278 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2190278

I'm not at all impressed with how they handled this. It looks like the (very broken) registration process was handled by a third party. I couldn't get in to the site, and when I did it was sold out. Vic Gundotra's twitter feed claims it sold out in 58 minutes. You'd think they'd increase the capacity given the interest.

  This was handled ridiculously bad. I am a member of press, last year's sandbox presenter, and an early reg invitee. I emailed googleiopress@ on the first day but didn't get a reply until 5 days later, after emailing them again. They said no to press passes and by then, early reg was already sold out. I would have gladly registered for full price, but now I was forced to wait for public reg. This morning, after posting about the reg within minutes (on AndroidPolice), I had errors for an hour and ended up without a ticket. Needless to say, I'm less than thrilled with how Google strung me along.

Google has confirmed via a tweet that the event is all sold out: http://twitter.com/googleio/status/34681464251490304 http://twitter.com/googleio/status/34681464251490304 Yes, it's true. Google #io2011 is now sold out.

Some people must have partially completed checkout multiple times. Those people are still in the database and taking up slots. If any of you can find more than one URL in their history where fuseaction is something other than req.Login, those URLs might still work. And if you have started registration more than once, could you spare me one url please?
- jhuckestein 16y ago
  Apparently the URLS with a pki# in them work. Whatever that means. If anyone has one, I'd more than appreciate it :) Edit: The PK= part of URLs is what counts
  - ashbrahma 16y ago
    Did you find one?
    - jhuckestein 16y ago
      nope :(
- jhuckestein 16y ago
  Apparently I'm the only one interested in these URLs, but somebody on Twitter just suggested that you can use URLs with a PK id to purchase multiple tickets.
- skullsplitter 16y ago
  holy cow, I was able to re-attach to my fuseaction session and complete the registration! Thanks the awesome tip, highly encourage others who were able to start the process to give it another shot. Check your history for urls like, https://www.google-io.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=reg.Conf&PK=$ID https://www.google-io.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=reg.Conf&...

I'm seriously bummed about this.

Was really looking forward to I/O. I hoped to get the chance to jump down when I moved out west.. Hard to believe that they can sell out a venue like this in 59 minutes.
zackattack 16y ago
this has been up for nearly a week, you guys need to stop complaining
- skullsplitter 16y ago
  io2011 page has been up for a bit yes but the registration was just opened this morning

It would be nice to have Chris Pruet show more about games and android. His former presentations in 2009 and 2010 were really good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Bk5rmIpic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Bk5rmIpic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-62tRHLcHk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-62tRHLcHk

No big surprise. It only took a few hours for the first Google I/O ticket scalper to surface on CraigsList. And what a deal. Only asking for $5K !!! http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/2202131748.html http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/2202131748.html
