Washington Convention Centre
Tickets for Photoshop World in Washington DC will go on sale at the Vegas 2011 event and thereafter on the official website.
You can buy tickets for the show right up the the early bird date which is usually around a month before the show starts although it has been know for a couple of extensions or special late offers to be added. I do think that this show is going to be very popular because of <insert secret reason here>.
If you are looking to attend a Pre-Con then you are going to want to book up early because the pre-cons have to be booked and paid for at the same time as your registration. These can sell out pretty early.
PRO PASS
The same goes for the Pro Pass. [details below from the official page]
“Professionals come prepared! Get all your must-have Photoshop World gear as soon as you step in the door. Includes a $59 Photoshop World Party Ticket, NAPP Backpack, NAPP Badge Holder, T-shirt, and more.
PRICE: $119/£76 (approx)”
SPEED PASS
The same also goes for the Speed Pass. [details below from the official page]
“The speed pass gives you access to up-front seating for the keynote and all general classes (excludes pre-con workshops and closing ceremony). Passes limited to 50 on a first come, first served basis. Reserved seating that is still available after the first five minutes of any class will be opened to the general population.
PRICE: $49/£30 (approx)“
Regular Registration + The Special Offer Gamble
If you are not fussed about anything other than just normal registration then I advise you don’t book up straight away. From September 2011 through to around February 2012 there will be some special NAPP Photoshop World offers that will include some ‘extras’ and that could include any of the above included BUT this is no guarantee – it is your decision to take the gamble. I will say that the offers have been pretty good in previous years!
