Ticket sales are the primary source of revenue for Handmade Cities, far surpassing other revenue streams. This is intentional. We want to remain accountable to ticket holders.  

#### **Physical Track: In-Person Tickets**

Both Handmade Boston and Handmade Seattle feature a physical track. The standard ticket is 249.00 USD, comparable to much larger conferences like Twitch Con. Starting in 2025 it will be our "forever price"—we intend to keep this standard price unchanged for as long as we’re in business.

Exceptions include:  
- **Early bird:** 199.00 USD
- **Last-minute (door) prices:** 299.00 USD

#### **Online Track: Online Tickets**

Only Handmade Seattle has an online track because it's a fully-hybrid event. Here’s how it works:  
- The entire event is live-streamed for free on Twitch (and YouTube as backup)
- Live Q&A and access to speakers occur in a private chat server, which requires a ticket
- Even the physical track must use the server to ask questions. Online attendees are treated as first-class citizens

The online ticket is pegged to 30% of the in-person cost:  
- **Early bird:** 59.00 USD
- **Standard:** 74.00 USD
- **Last-minute:** 89.00 USD

These prices are also "forever prices."

In order to grow, we have to increase attendance rather than raise ticket prices. We may also [diversify](/business/miscellaneous) into extra revenue streams. This approach to pricing is designed to give ticket holders a predictable sense of stability.  

#### **Discounts for the Financially Disadvantaged**  

We offer discounts to struggling students or those facing financial hardship and also frequently give out free tickets when possible—thanks to generous donations from senior engineers. If you live in a country where your purchasing power is significantly lower, we wish to help you too.  

To request assistance, email us at tickets@handmadecities.com with a brief explanation of your circumstances. *Correspondence to this address is strictly confidential.*

We ask those who are financially secure to respect this system of trust. Do not abuse it to obtain discounts or free tickets.
