Anyone got a ticket already? Does open multiple (private) browser sessions help?
I fear that would only add to the queue and make it worse.

#14Something won't keep me signed in. I'm all signed in, go to "waiting for an available ticket", and there's a "Sign In" link at the top
I've got the same issue. I was signed in at 7am, waited for a ticket for a minute and then it kicked me back to the main page to sign into G+ again. Still waiting for a ticket.

I would think you would need multiple Google+ accounts. Their language on the site says that connecting multiple times from the same account will reset your position in the queue.
yeah, that would have been the plan. But anyone has a ticket so far? Maybe their backend totally broke down.

same here....I'm assuming that it is still working correctly but may be wrong.

"Please don't open multiple tabs or use multiple browsers. Each time you open a new connection, your ticket search will restart."

#20Last year's Google IO conference sold out in minutes, and it looks like this year's is even more hectic. I wonder how long it'll be until they decide to switch to an alternative approach. What about ticket raffles or an online-only event?
They do stream all the sessions online, along with the I/O extended sessions around the world. I think Google do a good job of making the actual material available...although I will accept that is no substitute for the networking/experience you get from being there. That's one reason why the Extended events are quite good, as you're generally able to meet a wide range of people.
To be honest, I think the best solution would just be to lottery it, but then again I suspect if they were to lottery it there'd be a lot more people entering than attempting to get tickets in such a short space of time.
