WWDC sold out in minutes — but ticket-less developers can follow along at home

If you didn’t have your finger hovering over the “purchase” button for WWDC tickets right at 10 a.m. PT this morning, you probably don’t have a ticket. The tickets to Apple’s annual developers conference in San Francisco sold out in less than five minutes. It’s the fastest the tickets have sold out yet.

The conference runs June 10 and June 14 this year and the tickets for attendees were not cheap: $ 1,599. But if you couldn’t afford the tickets or weren’t quick enough, Apple is making the conference a bit more accessible this year.

Instead of waiting weeks after the conference is over, Apple says it will be posting the training session videos online as the conference is going on.

However, as usual, they will be only accessible by registered iOS and Mac developers.
