Not a fan of the copying/borrowing a badge ideas. If you don't support whatever the conference is covering, you shouldn't be there. If you do, you shouldn't mind fronting some cash to support the event.
- silencio 18y agoSometimes it's not possible to front cash to support the event due to lots of factors having nothing to do with lack of money or laziness. All the people who asked me about copying my WWDC badge were people who had the money to do so (and I know at least one tried to offer even more money than they were worth to existing attendees willing to sell their tickets), but Apple was actively refusing to sell any more tickets to the event due to having reached maximum capacity. I certainly hope that's not the case next year, but who knows. Moscone West is not exactly huge.
- streety 18y agoI realise I'm stating what for most will be obvious here but there is a reason why they stop selling tickets once they reach maximum capacity. If there is a fire they may not be able to get everyone out safely if there are too many people. I could dream up other possibilities but hopefully the idea is already clear.
- silencio 18y agoI understand that. My wishing for next year was for Apple to move to a larger venue to have increased capacity, not to illegally stuff more people into an overcrowded venue.
