WWDC 2011 ticket shows up on eBay


   

   Well, if you weren't quick enough to get a ticket to this year's WWDC, this just might...make you angry. A developer is selling an unactivated extra ticket on eBay for the Buy It Now price of $3,500. That's $1,900 more than the original $1,599 cost. The eBay seller says the ticket is one he bought for a colleague who can't make it this year. It's great that he wants to give another dev who missed out on a ticket the chance of going, but trying to make a buck off it? Come on. (We thought about putting in a link to the auction itself, but decided that was just bad form. -Ed)

   Now before anyone gets too hopeful (or angry), I'm certain that Apple is going to put an end to this auction quicker than it can pull an app from the App Store. The last thing Apple wants to have happen is a string of bogus developers in future years buying up WWDC tickets and then scalping them for a profit. Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see some more WWDC tickets show up on Craigslist or eBay before the June 6th conference begins.WWDC 2011 ticket shows up on eBay originally appeared on TUAW on Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:30:00 EST.  Please see our terms for use of feeds.Source | Permalink | Email this | Comments
