The amount of people who try to buy badges can't be more than twice the amount of people who attend. Last year, there are more people asking about prereg than those asking how to get badges. Even if 300,000 want to go, not all of them could afford the hotels and flights.

And let's be honest, if there are truly 500,000 people trying to get tickets, a large part of that group will NOT be 'on top of things' like the people on this site. They'll be logging in at 8:05 and wondering why they can't get into the waiting room, or better yet, posting on CCI's Facebook page 'How doI get tickets?' in April. ;)

I dunno. If the ratio was really as low as 1/2 then I doubt it would sell out anywhere near as fast as it does.  More than 300,000 people can easily afford airfare and hotels (or find someone who lives there to stay with.)

Well, that's true.

just had to laugh at that (it's funny because it's true: but then again it's not really that funny)
