Heads up, Pre-Sale Begins

You’ve probably waited most of two weeks for this: The pre-sale for the 27th Chaos Communication Congress tickets will start this weekend. To be precise: We will open our server ports tomorrow morning, Sunday (October 10th), at 10:10 Berlin time (08:10 UTC).

Category Price
Standard EUR 70
Nachwuchs (below the age of 18) EUR 25
Members of the CCC e. V. EUR 45

For more details, e. g. business tickets, see our wiki and the FAQ.

This will be the first batch of three, offering 800 tickets. The second and largest batch will be available two days after we’ve published the “Fahrplan” in early November. The last and smallest batch with the remaining tickets will be available in December.

Volunteers of the 26C3 (Engel) will receive their “golden token” today, which will be sent to the email address they used in the “Engelsystem” last year.

During the course of the day, we’ll publish detailed instructions on how to use the pre-sale system.

  1. [...] Der um einige Tage verschobene Vorverkauf für den 27C3 startet nun endlich, und zwar am Sonntag den 10.10.2010 um 10:10 Uhr: http://events.ccc.de/2010/10/09/ladies-and-gentlemen-may-the-advance-sale-begin/ [...]

    There are some contradictory statements concerning the ‘Nachwuchs’ ticket: The wiki says its for attendants “up to and including the age of 18″, but in the pricing tables it’s described as “below the age of 18″.
    Which statement is right, so up to which age you can get a ‘Nachwuchs’ ticket?

    • erdgeist says:

      If you are born before 26th of december in 1992, you are our Nachwuchs.

    • Bine says:

      Thanks for hint. Fixed :). Everybody up to the age of 18 (Birthday after 26.12.1992) can be considered the “Nachwuchs”.

      • Xjs says:

        Wait, WHAT? It should be after 26. 12. 1991 if it’s “up to 18″!

        • Bine says:

          No, it should be “Birthday after 26.12.1992″.

          • Xjs says:

            To me, “up to” means <=. If it doesn't mean that to you, I'd kindly ask you to state that more clearly in FAQ and wiki. In any case, I don't think this is the right step. Not all who are of some special all of a sudden have more money all of a sudden, too. Good education doesn't immediately pay off financially.

        oh no. i’m just one day to old! ;(

    Da die m. E. wichtige Frage bedauerlicherweise nicht in der FAQ aufgegriffen wird, bitte ich hier um Antwort: Wenn ich als Rollstuhlfahrer ein Ticket kaufe, gilt das wie letztes Jahr wieder inklusive Begleitperson?

    • Bine says:

      Deine Ticket gilt, na klar, inklusive Begleitperson. Da hat sich nichts geaendert :-) Ich fix das mal im Wiki, danke fuer den Hinweis.

    nice, aber wo muss ich mich jetzt anmelden und bezahlen um eines davon abzubekommen?? darauf habe ich bisher nirgends eine Antwort gefunden.

    ciao

    • erdgeist says:

      Stay tuned. Link gibts morgen.

      Welchen Teil von “im Laufe des Tages gibts ein detailliertes HowTo” hast Du nicht verstanden? Seid doch nicht immer so ungeduldig! :)

      • arno says:

        Offensichtlich den “im Laufe des Tages” Teil. Der ist nämlich jetzt gelaufen, so langsam…

        • Bine says:

          Moechtest Du meinen Job machen? Gerne. Kannst sofort anfangen. Und wehe, in 5minuten ist der Post nicht fertig ;-)

          • arno says:

            Nein. Aber wenn man so gereizt auf den Hinweis auf suboptimale Kommunikation reagiert, helfen auch keine nachgestellten Smilies. :)

  5. pascal says:

    I hope there will be detailed statistics of the number of seconds it took to sell these tickets?

    Haben Nachwuchstickets die Schülertickets ersetzt? Wäre für mich letztes Jahr mit Schülerticket gewesen. Falls das zutrifft, werde ich mal CCC-Mitglied :-D

    Wie gesagt arno, Du darfst meinen Job gerne machen. Dann wird er ganz bestimmt perfekt. Solange Du das nicht tust, wirst Du wohl damit leben muessen, dass es nicht nach deiner Pfeife geht. Its done, when its done.

    So that nothing more goes wrong, here’s the facts on

    * The system is tomorrow, 10:10 clock (Berlin time) can be contacted at http://presale.events.ccc.de/.

    * This morning, a contingent of 800 tickets released. The second (and largest) contingent following the notification of the first schedule release in early November. Further quotas are announced early. Who was the first quota so no luck in the other contingents each one a chance.

    * To protect against bots and similar animals, the actual ordering of tickets until 24 hours be performed by account creation.

    * Ansich the system is self-explanatory. Select the desired ticket type, remember the displayed token and put it in their use of the transfer or in the other payment options. The appropriate account data is displayed by the system.

    * Tickets have payment terms of 14 days and then go back permanently in the pool when they were not paid. The payment status is in the account cost.
    * Pro Account is a maximum of two tickets. Should you wish to arrive in a larger group of five and pay together, get in touch with us.

    * The tokens are only ansich and the like alone as payment allocation, and use. They do not qualify for admission to the Congress. A payment of the token at the Congress box office is not possible.

    * About 2 weeks before the congress, the actual tickets, which will also entitle to the inlet, deposited in the account of the pre-sale system. Tickets are equipped with all invoice-related data, so that they can use as well as the same account.

    * The quota for Angel (Golden Token) is independent of the normal quota of tokens. Angels must therefore not hurry too much. We want to all the angels, without which the Congress would not be possible to show our appreciation and say thank you. You rock!

    Risks and side effects ask your doctor or the FAQ. Write in just that your open questions, these will be answered and incorporated where appropriate in the posts here on events.ccc.de.

    Wie ist der Eintrag im FAQ zu verstehen, dass es Tagestickets ab Tag 1 gibt. Dort wird ja scheinbar ab 0 gezählt im Fahrplan zum letzten Congress wurde aber ab 1 gezählt. Gibts jetzt nur für die letzten beiden Tage die Möglichkeit Tagestickets zu ergattern wenn man früh kommt?

    • cpunkt says:

      Tagestickets wird es ab dem zweiten Congress-Tag (28.12.) geben. Das machen wir deshalb so, weil wir es damit für Menschen, die kein Ticket im Vorverkauf erworben haben, unattraktiver machen wollen, am nullten Tag schon an der Kasse zu campen. Das macht nämlich nicht nur Euch Stress, sondern uns auch…

  11. vt100 says:

    Tag 0 ist der Tag _vor_ dem 1. Congresstag, also der 26.12.2010.

  12. melle says:

    Please add https://213.73.91.79/ to the article, https://presale.events.ccc.de/ does not resolve everywhere :-/

  13. Erpel says:

    Is anyone else having a slight issue with the presale website and mobile Safari on iOS 4? Issue as in “crashes the browser while loading the initial page?

    Maybe someone of the dev team reads here and would be interested in this little piece of feedback.

    Kind regards and thanks for the work you Gus put in

  14. jscript says:

    Do we have to worry about the certificate problem on the presale website ?

  15. Andreas says:

    Quite frustrating this pre-sale process, especially when one is planning to come all the way from down under to attend the congress. I find it extremely hard since a) the dates for the sale have been moved several times and b) finding actually the presale site wasn’t that obvious – and at the end I was able to logon, add a ticket to my cart and then being told that there aren’t any left – guys, despite everybody trying their best I think you can do better – and yes, I do know what I am talking about, since I did implement a site for a conference here in Melbourne myself… – I just hope I will be able to get a ticket next time around – would be nice, since Berlin is not that close to Melbourne… :-)

    • cpunkt says:

      Folks from far away, who really need to be sure, because they have to make travel arrangements, please contact 27c3-presale@cccv.de, and we’ll find a solution. We understand this is a problem, and we are willing to solve it.
