The first batch of tickets for DjangoCon 2008 sold out a few minutes ago. The website was inaccessible for a a good while, as geeks from around the world hammered into it, trying to get tickets of their own. I was hanging out on IRC when someone posted a link to the direct registration at Event Wax, so I was able to snag a pair of tickets for me and my new boss.

Is anyone else attending? Is there anyone that tried to get tickets and couldn't, due to the site being down? If there's enough YCers, should we hold a Hacker News meetup?

The next batch of tickets will be released tomorrow, August 1st, at 6:00pm UTC.
