SXSW 2009 Music Fest Wristband Sales Details (from the official site):

The initial round of 4000 wristbands will only be available to Austin residents and will be discounted to the price of $129 (includes tax and service charge) which is $10 less than in 2008. When the $129 wristbands sell out, or after Mar 9, 2009, additional wristbands will go on sale at a higher price to be announced. The list price for SXSW '09 wristbands is $180 each.

An individual can buy two wristbands - one must be in the name of the credit cardholder and the second must be assigned to a named individual at the time of purchase.

The $129 discount wristbands will only be sold over the internet, and will require a valid credit card with an Austin area billing address. Click here for a list of approved zip codes

There are no refunds or transfers of wristbands. If you buy more than the two wristbands permitted, you will not be able to give or sell them to other people. Before purchasing a second wristband make sure the second person you buy a wristband for has not made other arrangements and is definitely able to attend SXSW. There will be no refunds or name transfers after purchase.

There will be no lottery for wristband sales this year. All sales will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

    no problem, took about 10 minutes. This is much, much better than having to wait in a line around the block at Waterloo all day.
