If you didn’t get a chance to buy a WWDC ticket in the lottery last week, you might just get another chance soon. Developers who won were given until April 14 to buy a slot at the conference, but not all of them took advantage of the opportunity.
Now Apple is reportedly reaching out to developers who didn’t win the lottery and offering them a chance to buy unclaimed tickets. Some developers are starting to get phone calls from the company informing them that they have been randomly selected to buy one of the tickets that winners failed to claim before the 14th.
Developers who agree to buy a ticket are then emailed instructions and must complete the purchase within 24 hours—or presumably have their own unclaimed ticket offered to someone else. You can read the full email below.

I got a call from 408-974-9330 today stating that they wanted to talk to me about WWDC. Is this legit??
That’d be cool if it is! The area code is correct for the Cupertino area
Yeah, why enter to win a tucket, then when yku win, not buy it?!?
COLLOSALLY dumb.
Like my spelling of “collosolly” but I’m too lazy to spellcheck it.
And tucked, and yku… really nice
Because no one entered to win anything. Talk about colossally dumb. The irony of pointing out your own mistake would get points for style in my book, except doing so took more time than RIGHT CLICKING THE WORD AND CORRECTING IT, so you lose points overall for sheer laziness.
this begs the question to weither for the first time WWDC actually didn’t sell out within hours
Have you been living under a rock? They implemented a lottery system this year.
so? that just means the pic… actually you’re right, i forgot about it.
No, not really. It begs the question of how often developers 1. actually check their e-mail and 2. how many can afford a $4,000 WWDC ticket.
same thing tho, they where completely sold out really fast, for the last couple of years. and if you are a developer you wouldn’t miss that email
No, it’s completely different.
That’s not what “begs the question” means. http://begthequestion.info/
Yes. And I’m certain that “computer” does not refer to a metal box, but rather only the flesh and bone holding grey matter used to do calculations.
