Got tickets as well. Got reservations at the Hilton. Looking forward to the DB dinner and meeting people again.

Tip from last year. We picked up our goodies bag and badges right before they closed Thursday night. Walked right up no line, and the guys behind the desk were not stressed! This year will be bigger with another hall added, so more people = bigger lines. I wish everyone luck in avoiding LineCon 09.

My guess is that the ticket queue filled within the first 15 to 30 seconds (for those who got to buy them). I joined the queue at 3k, my wife tried literally a few seconds after and got in the queue at 7k. Needless to say my predictions for the Ooops Murloc to rear its head were mistaken (except the night prior when auth servers crapped out randomly, yeah right).
