Now that Apple has announced that WWDC 2008 is completely sold out
(first time in conference history), there are no doubt a number of
people wishing to go but are out of luck.
I see a WWDC 2008 Ticket being sold on Ebay, which at the time of this
writing, has no bids and a starting price of $500. The auction ends
May 20th:

Note: I am NOT the person selling this, so I do not know anything
further than the fact it is on Ebay. |

It didn't stay there for long. It currently has 27 bids with a going
price of over $2500, about a grand more than a regularly priced
ticket.
Although one does not typically expect to see ticket scalping for
techno-geek conferences, a Steve Jobs event does seem to inspire a
great deal of enthusiasm. |

There's a lot more reason to go to WWDC than to see Jobs' keynote.

Ebay now has 5 auctions going for WWDC tickets, with highest bids of
$610, $1300, $1675 and $3,550. (I'll bet the guy with the losing bid
of $3500 is relieved.) There is also a Buy-It-Now/Best-Offer auction
with a starting price of $5800, but no one has bitten that one. The
$1300 auction includes hotel, but is a Reserved Auction, with the
reserve not met (which is lame).
With increased availability of tickets on Ebay, I can't imagine seeing
any more of these inflated prices. Still, people with ADC premiere
memberships get a free e-ticket, and if you're not going to go, you
might as well sell it to someone who does. |
