I've been going for about ten years now. I sign up for some of the user conferences which are usually good. Last year I got in line for the keynote about 4:30AM. I was near the front of the line but I sat rather far back. The deal is that the Platinum pass and VIP people get to go in first. This leaves not much room for the rest of us. Still, I'd guess about a thousand non-Platinum people made it in. The Platinum Pass is about $1,650 so you need a corporate sponsor. If you register early in the year for the user conferences you can get access to those and the exhibitions and the Stevenote for about $160. A few people camp out from the day before. The line really starts to grow quickly after about 5:30AM. Around 6:00AM or 6:30AM the motorcycle cops get positioned at the local intersections and Steve's entourage blows by in a line of black SUVs. If you can get into the hall for the live keynote it is really entertaining. Nothing like being there at the moment the announcements are made. Even if you sit pretty far back the large screen gives you a good view of the presentation. Also, there are more large screens towards the rear of the hall. I’ll be going again.
