Information about tickets and registration

Thank you for your interest in attending TEDxCMU. The event will take place in McConomy Auditorium at Carnegie Mellon’s University Center (UC), which holds 450 seats. It will be free to attend, but unfortunately this means that we will most likely not be able to give a seat for everyone who wants to come.

We will launch our online ticket form on Wednesday, March 3 at 11:30AM EST. The first 25 applications we receive will get guaranteed seats for the event. After those first 25, we will review and approve applications based on responses to our ticket form. If your application is approved, we will let you know by email. We will close the ticket application on March 21, 2010.

For questions, email us at info@tedxcmu.com.

UPDATE: Here is the exact form we will post on Wednesday. We will use the answers we receive to determine who gets tickets and who does not, so please answer these seriously:

• First Name *
• Last Name *
• School / Company *
• Title / Role *
