I hope they're still giving early access to tickets for I/ONs this year. And I, and many others, hope they don't. Google I/O became a "why not" conference to g

  I/ONs have been going since before they gave out freebies.

    "Before" meaning 2008. Every year after they gave out freebies. Further that is irrelevant regardless given that the pre-sales isn't to some sort of "loyal since 2008" group, but rather is whoever happened to get in the prior year. And I believe such pre-sales have only happened for the past two years.

      >Further that is irrelevant regardless given that the pre-sales isn't to some sort of "loyal since 2008" group But there is a presale aimed at exactly this group. They've had the "I/ON" group (aka "loyal since 2008") since 2010, if I remember correctly. There was no presale but it also took 90 days for the 2010 conference to sell out, so it wasn't like you needed one. The 2010 I/ON group got priority seating at the keynote, a different T-shirt, and some other trinkets. In 2011 they did presale for I/ONs two weeks prior to general registration, and a presale for other 2010 attendees one week prior to open registration (and only for attendees who paid full price in 2010, not academic discounted tickets). 2012 had just a presale for I/ONs, no early registration at all for 2011 attendees.

        Some of us have been loyal since it was just developer days at the GooglePlex.
