Apple is contacting select developers who tried to purchase WWDC tickets and offering them another opportunity to purchase tickets to the event, according to designer Eric Doleki.
Doleki had tried to purchase a ticket when they went on sale but was unsuccessful. The tickets sold out in about two minutes.
Later in the day he received a call from Apple.
I see that it’s Apple Computer on the callerID. I pick up and a nice guy tells me he’s from Apple Developer Support and that they noticed that I tried to purchase a ticket today and that the transaction didn’t go through. I told him that was true. I thought the next thing out of his mouth would be an apology or something – just to be nice.
He then proceeds to tell me that he’s got good news – a ticket has been reserved for me in my name and that I’ll be receiving an email from Developer Support within 12 hours with instructions on how to purchase the pass. He thanked me for supporting the platform, etc.
The Apple representative wasn't able to provide any information on why some developers are being given a second chance at tickets. It's thought that perhaps those who had tickets in their cart but experienced a failed checkout are being contacted.
