It is exactly as funny as I said, no confusion: If you purchased the ticket before the first discount, didn't buy a T-shirt for 100%, and took the survey after that all, you get no discount. But you get an extra email that you get a free T-shirt if you sign up (now) for the conference. What a

Folks, sorry for any confusion. The free t-shirt is a reward for taking the survey. We thought it would be a nice little extra surprise. However if you took the survey and already purchased a t-shirt with your LiveCode Global ticket, just let us know and we'll give you a coupon to the value. Or
