Free exhibit hall tickets to MacWorld Expo (+ some of the parties)

MacWorld Expo is just days away, but if you haven’t got a ticket there’s still hope. 🙂

There’s a virtual coupon doing the rounds that will bag you a free Expo ticket for the exhibit hall – a $45 value (as we say here in USA)

All you have to do to get yours is:

  1. Hop over to the MacWorld Expo registration page
  2. Scroll down to Exhibit Hall tickets
  3. Click ‘Register Now!’
  4. Enter your details as requested
  5. When requested for your Priority Code, enter PC0619
  6. Upon completion you should find Exhibit Hall pass listed as ‘FREE’
  7. Print your badge!

An Exhibit Hall badge will apparently get you into the ‘Feature Presentations’, although it’s not exactly clear what they are. However, at least you can legitimately network, mingle at the exhibition stands… and attend some of the satellite parties that are happening.

Which is great if you’re an Apple fan…

As those of you who know me personally will testify: I’m not the world’s biggest Apple fan. I don’t own or use Apple equipment at the moment (other than a 1st Gen Mac Mini which currently runs Ubuntu for PowerPC and is rarely used) – although I do hold certification as an Apple WebObjects programmer.

I’ll probably head up to the Moscone Center with my free pass as I don’t live that far away… and if Steve Jobs announced as 12″ MacBookPro then I might be interested. Operative word being might!
