I don't really understand the point in doing early bird tickets based
on a closed number of tickets. How a bout a fixed date before which
you can get the early bird tickets and after which you cannot? We are
the early birds, here, paying attention to this list and still getting
frustrated because, judging by how fast the first batch was sold out,
we are going to have to enter a strong competition of hitting F5
faster than anyone so we can get the early bird ticket.

This organisation method seems very unprofessional, and it seems to be
based on figuring things out as we go along. Well, this is not the
first year the conference is held, why not use the expertise from
precious years? why this desire to do everything new and different? is
it trying to prove a point?

I signed up because I was in Pycon Ireland, thought it was great and
wanted to scale up, and I was very excited until I started to read all
about the organisation problems in this list. Now I'm not sure I want
to go. I am always late for all conferences and for this one I
thought, okay, I'm going to be on top of this one, so much that I will
even get the early bird rate. Now turns out I have to have a virtual
competition on a week day at noon! to get that. Nah.

Please, get your act together, this is nonsense.
