Thank you for your interest in the eBay Hangover Party and Speed Hack!

As you can tell - we have sold out our early registration. Keep in mind that you MUST have a SXSW interactive badge to join the lounge and that it is first come, first serve! Your pre-registration is not a guaranteed ticket and due to the overwhelming interest in the event we will have to limit the amount of people in the room during the speed hacks, so that the developers can code to their hearts desire! With that said, when coding is not happening - the happy hour and hangover party is open to any SXSW interactive badge holders who wants to join.

We look forward to seeing you there!
