       | and free ticket giveaways! Feedback and suggestions are welcome
       | as I continue to refine it.

         | search by multiple properties- city and technology are the two
         | that come to mind.

       | Best way to get free tickets is to ask the sponsoring
       | vendors/companies directly I've found - can play either the 'I'm
       | a current customer' card, or the 'I'm considering your solution
       | seriously' card.
       | 
       | Have gotten many free tickets, dinners, sports tix, etc that way
       | over the years!

             | Sure, but why would a sales person give me a free ticket to
             | a conference? Am I going to come by their booth and buy
             | something?

       | Nice idea. But I can't navigate the site on my phone. For
       | example: I try to press on any "want ticket" link (I think it is
       | a link since it is coloured and underlined) but my browser just
       | selects it as regular text. Same with both Firefox and Safari.
