[yapc] YAPC::NA SOLD OUT!!!

[Rob Kinyon]

You didn't ask previous organizers. At least, you didn't ask me.

http://yapc2010.com/yn2010/stats shows 373 registered users with 291
having paid. This didn't count the day-passes (of which we sold a
TON). In addition, Nationwide Insurance, in exchange for being a
Platinum sponsor, received (essentially) unlimited day-passes. We
guesstimated close to 500 people per day with almost 800 unique
visitors.

I've sold 20 more tickets than I was supposed to sell just to account for the fact that some people won't actually be in the room, so if everybody shows up we will actually already have standing room only seats.
