Ticket cost for HandmadeCon 2016?
I'm also in favor of a longer HandmadeCon. The ticket cost increase seems reasonable.

Quarter
I feel like there is a lot of free/cheep labour available (I'd love to help for free) can we find a venue where we can leverage this?

Unfortunately, no. This is actually the #1 problem, at least insofar as Seattle venues. Thanks to all kinds of ridiculous union and contractual requirements, the venue rental for larger/fancier venues is completely dwarfed by the required labor contracts that you have to pay to a bunch of people who you don't need.

It really pisses me off :(

I was fortunate enough to make it to HMC 2015 and would have gladly paid $80 just for the one day. Not that I really have $80 to just throw around, but the things I learned that day can't have any quantifiable value given to them.

I'm completely fine with the higher ticket prices to get more time and space.
The talks are such high quality that $80 is still incredibly cheap.

I like the two-day $80 version. I flew in from Reno, NV and stayed at a hotel anyways, so considering those costs, adding another $45 gets me a lot more value.

PS The con was great, Thank you!

I doubt I can afford (time and moneywise) a visit in the US
unless Valve want's to hire me as an OpenGL/Vulkan Coder. :lol:

How about a HmHCon Europe 2016 - Dublin :silly: ???

Or maby you can submit a talk @
