I just hope they have a presale for prior years attendees like they did last year. Last year they opened registration 2 weeks early for people who had attended I/O since its inception, and then one week early for 2010 attendees.

Buying an academic ticket in 2010 meant I did not get in on the 2011 presale and barely squeaked by at registration. Did not buy an academic ticket in 2011, so hopefully that counts for something come registration time.

I hope not. Not all of us were lucky enough to attend I/O the past few years. I don't think it's somehow fair that previous attendees continue to get a leg up over the rest of us.

Historically, they've always made a big deal about repeat attendees (better seating, better shirts, etc.) to encourage people to return habitually.

It's going to be hard to be a repeat attendee if you have to fight for tickets in the middle of a workday.
