In 2015, we hosted the inaugural WordCamp Sacramento. As the only Northern California WordCamp, we knew tickets would go fast and we were right. Tickets went on sale at 10:00 am and by 12:20 pm all 150 tickets had sold out completely<\/a>!<\/p>\n For 2016, we have moved the event to a larger venue — The Harper Alumni Center at Sacramento State — and will have more than double the amount of tickets available. We’re also going to be releasing the tickets in three batches<\/strong> instead of all at the same time. We’ll also be staggering the times<\/strong> that tickets go on sale to accommodate those who work full time jobs and may not be able to buy tickets<\/a> during their workday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first 125 tickets go on sale Thursday, September 1 at 10:00 am Pacific.<\/strong><\/p>\n WordCamp Sacramento is again the ONLY Northern California WordCamp and we do expect all tickets to sell out again. Please don’t take this warning lightly.<\/em> Last year many people missed out on a fantastic event and were very upset that tickets sold out so quickly and they were unable to secure one for themselves.<\/p>\n If you want to be part of this year’s event, we highly recommend that you:<\/p>\n Tickets are non-refundable. Tickets are transferable only through October 7, 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n WordCamp Sacramento 2016 Tickets are only $40.00.<\/strong><\/p>\n The low $40.00 ticket price includes:<\/p>\n Extremely affordable tickets lowers the barrier of entry for attendance as much as humanly possible<\/strong> and allows anyone in our community to attend WordCamp. This helps build our community and encourages people who might not be able to afford higher ticket prices to join in and share their experiences with WordPress. A large community with diverse perspectives is good for local events and activities.<\/p>\n Ideally, WordCamps would all be free, like WordPress itself.<\/strong> In reality, though, when an event is free, a lot of people sign up and then when the day comes they might change their mind, forget, or just want to sleep in. A small ticket cost provides incentive for people who\u2019ve registered to show up on the day. Why does this matter? As WordCamps get bigger, they sell out, and people who wish they could attend are turned away in favor of the early birds. If the early birds don\u2019t show up, you wind up with empty spaces that could have been filled by the late-wishers.<\/p>\n We think of WordCamp tickets<\/a> not as being comparable to conference tickets (for many WordCamp lineups, you\u2019d have to pay hundreds of dollars at a regular conference), but as being just enough to get people out of bed on that sleepy WordCamp morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Releasing Tickets In Batches In 2015, we hosted the inaugural WordCamp Sacramento.
