Register for Google I/O 2011

I'm not at all impressed with how they handled this. It looks like the (very broken) registration process was handled by a third party. I couldn't get in to the site, and when I did it was sold out. Vic Gundotra's twitter feed claims it sold out in 58 minutes.<p>You'd think they'd increase the capacity given the interest.

Finally got the page to load, pressed submit and... "Thanks for your interest in Google I/O, but registration for this event is now sold out."

Some people must have partially completed checkout multiple times. Those people are still in the database and taking up slots.<p>If any of you can find more than one URL in their history where fuseaction is something other than req.Login, those URLs might still work.<p>And if you have started registration more than once, could you spare me one url please?

If it is really sold out, then I hope that Google will be cracking down on the scalpers this year. I saw a bunch of tickets on eBay last year from people that had plainly bought them betting that the freebies would be worth more (usually attendance-only, freebies not included)

Google has confirmed via a tweet that the event is all sold out:<p><a href="http://twitter.com/googleio/status/34681464251490304" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/googleio/status/34681464251490304</a><p>Yes, it's true. Google #io2011 is now sold out.

This is kind of frustrating. Been waiting patiently for registration and now that its open Ive been unable to complete the form successfully due to timeouts/503s etc. And now Im hearing its sold out as well? I hope that maybe a non-web registration channel is opened to take sign ups that the site wasnt able to accomodate.

Kinda B.S. when they anticipated such a quick sellout to have the site crap out like that.

I finally got through and registered. I got the "sold out" message but kept on refreshing; it finally let me register. I wouldn't give up hope

It would be nice to have Chris Pruet show more about games and android. His former presentations in 2009 and 2010 were really good:<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Bk5rmIpic" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Bk5rmIpic</a><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-62tRHLcHk" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-62tRHLcHk</a>

No big surprise. It only took a few hours for the first Google I/O ticket scalper to surface on CraigsList. And what a deal. Only asking for $5K !!!<p><a href="http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/2202131748.html" rel="nofollow">http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/2202131748.html</a>

Was really looking forward to I/O. I hoped to get the chance to jump down when I moved out west.. Hard to believe that they can sell out a venue like this in 59 minutes.

@GoogleIO Twitter confirms, sold out in 59 minutes.

Sold out already?

I'm seriously bummed about this.

the entire registration page seems down now..

this has been up for nearly a week, you guys need to stop complaining
