Well, it'll be interesting to see what effect this newfound
popularity has on the Cocoa community. One suspects a certain amount
of iPhone-fueled "irrational exuberance" when tickets are being
scalped at these rates. A couple years ago, scalpers were going
begging at $900 only days beforehand.
In any case, I'm skipping it deliberately this year: after attending
since the San Jose days, two years ago WWDC became, for me, just
impossibly crowded. Even answering calls of nature was a problem at
times - hate to think what that'll be like this year! (someone
mentioned Moscone West is max-rated for 6075 occupants)
Back then, difficulties with insufficient and poor food, being unable
to get into many sessions, not to mention being barked at by
overzealous "seating police" made me decide to skip WWDC until it can
be moved to a larger venue. There are only so many sessions useful to
each person, and if spending $4000+ on travel, hotel, and e-ticket
can't get you into them, and in some degree of comfort, what's the
point.
I'm hopeful the sellout will enable ADC to unleash Developer iTunes -
with the event sold out, there's little reason not to sell session
videos a la carte.
