Out of Town Transit Deals

Thinking of coming from the NE Corridor (Boston -Philly – DC – Baltimore), but thinking driving would be a pain and the train is a little more than you want to spend? Don’t forget about the bus! People in our demographic tend to forget about buses as mass transportation outside of city metro areas, but Greyhound is cheap, pretty comfy, and did I mention cheap? One-way fares between NYC and Philadelphia are as low as $6. Yes, that is cheaper than the subway from JFK into midtown. There are deals to/from NYC right now for all the cities mentioned above that cost less than lunch at Starbucks, so check it out. Oh yeah: some of the buses even have wifi.

See all the groovy bus deals.

Instructions for Buying Tickets

We're using a new WordPress plugin for selling tickets, developed pro bono by 9seeds. If you have signed up to be a sponsor or have applied to be a speaker, please do not buy a ticket until you hear from Jane (by Sept 27, honest), as you'll need to use a special code to register if confirmed. If you're not sponsoring/speaking, go ahead and buy a Regular Admission ticket.

If you only buy one ticket, you'll fill in your attendee info right away. If you buy multiple tickets (like for a bunch of people from your company), you'll just fill in the billing info now, and you'll get an email with links for each attendee to go and fill in their own attendee profile (t-shirt size, email address, twitter ID, etc). This is a new system, so if you have trouble purchasing tickets, email jane/wordcamp/org for help.

P.S. The form styling will be fixed in the next plugin update. Beta, baby! :)
