...and I'm willing to bet that if Apple announced the time WWDC tickets went on sale in advance, as Google do, it would sell out a lot faster.
- Samuel_Michon 14y agoI doubt it. Just as with I/O, the ordering system is the bottleneck. If the systems could manage it, both events would sell out in mere minutes. Recap of WWDC 2012 ticket sales: for the first time, Apple didn't pre-announce the WWDC dates or when ticket sales would start. People were quite upset because it was so sudden and because it was so early in the day – sales began at 8:30AM EST. Per John Gruber, on the day: "Sold out in two hours, before the U.S. west coast even woke up." http://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/04/25/wwdc-2012 http://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/04/25/wwdc-2012
