In this post, we’ll outline everything you need to know about the on-sale date so that you know what to expect.

Where do I go to buy badges?

The link to the registration page on Eventbrite will be available via the Register page. While the Eventbrite link may be accessible prior to August 16, you will not be able to purchase badges until Friday, August 16 at 12 PM PDT.

Badge purchasing on Eventbrite will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

What badges will be available and how much will they be?

4-Day Badges: A limited number of 4-day Early Bird badges will go on sale for $75*. This is the best price that 4-day badges will be available for, as we will no longer hold a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale. Because of this, the number of available Early Bird badges has been adjusted accordingly. After all Early Bird badges sell out, 4-day badges will be available for $85*. Please be aware that 4-day badge prices increase periodically until AX 2020, so we recommend buying early!
