In just a week the long awaited conference HAR is taking place. Time to have a little overview:

• Tickets are unfortunately not available anymore, don't even bother coming to the event without ticket as door-sales won't be done. Next time, try to plan your holiday a little earlier.
• If you arrive early and want to help build up simply create your wiki-profile page based on the volunteer-template. Your arrival date will automagically appear in the volunteers page. Helping a hand is a great way to have fun and meet very interesting people.
• Like always we Belgians group together. This year Belhack (belsec people and the former Iguana colony) and Hacker Space Brussels join the forces. If you don't like a calm place you can join the Belgian Embassy that has a more noisy reputation.
• Print out your ticket, don't forget your tent, prep and harden your computer and phone, stop worrying, and prepare yourself to enjoy your stay.

Oh, last but not least: You will probably see many BruCON people. Did you already book that ticket?

You probably to WTH and CCC, now it's time to subscribe to HAR. The event will take place on the August 13-16, 2009

Today the ticket shop at https://tickets.har2009.org/ has opened for business.

The basic early-birds rate is EUR 155,- (which applies up to and including on february 28th 2009). But visitors of this website get an extra staggering discount of EUR 5,- for each adult ticket, if they enter the special coupon code ‘SURFBIRD’ during the registration process. Oh, and it pays off to order a few extra tickets. In these times of declining financial markets and decreasingly safe saving deposits, we offer the perfect investment: it is expected that tickets will be priced at EUR 250,- at the door. It is therefore quite certain that a profitable black-market will emerge for these tickets.

The remarkable thing is that this edition there is a complete Terms and Conditions document that you need to accept when ordering tickets. I can't remember seeing that for WTH...
