A couple of years ago I missed registration and had to get my
Code4Lib ticket on StubHub.
The only downsides were I had to pay twice face value and tell
everyone my name was "Naomi Dushay" all week....

Same for the 2009 Providence conference, which filled very quickly.
Another factor is that we initially held back a small buffer of
spots to make sure that our calculations for keynoters/presenters/
etc were correct (due to a firm cap) and then allotted those to
waitlisters.

I believe the cap is the same this year as last year (250). It did

even quicker than this year. Probably lots of factors for how
quickly
it sells out (location, talks, etc.). Regardless, it's popular.
Richard, if last year is any indication of this year, we did have
lots
of folks drop their registrations... opening up spots for waitlisters
(so people at the top of the list have a good chance, I think).

Woah, that was fast. I guess I'll go on the waiting list. *fingers

Is this code4lib larger or smaller than last year? I seem to
remember registering weeks after the registration opened. Maybe
it's getting popular, eh?
Thanks,
