Me too!
I havent gotten tickets yet this year also.
I did see one contest for free NamesCon tickets that Andrew and Tess from DomainSherpa offered. It was a guess the ending of a domain auction and person who gets closest wins. I actually looked at the auction of that domain and it looked like it was cancelled so i didnt guess but then on the last Sherpa video they announced a winner. I should have guessed. Havent seen anyone else offer free tix anywhere, just that once so far.
So i just saw a "Last Call - 25% off" coupon tweeted from NamesCon. Looks like that ends today the 28th.

They have been offering that same 25% off for the past few months. Everyone i have talked to figured they would offer a bigger discount at some point pre conference since prices were higher this year.

$524 standard ticket price
$674 VIP ticket with that 25% off right now.
So tomorrow back up to $699. and $899.
I am kicking myself now for not getting tix when they were $400 standard, then $300 w/that same 25% off offer.
Do you think attendance will be down a bit this year since prices are higher?
