Are you a fan of getting into things for free? We thought so, which means you should probably know what the deal is with SXSW Guest Passes. Basically, they're a completely free badge that will get you into very cool official SXSW things like films screenings, exhibitions, showcases, and more.
Flats, sandals, and sneakers are the best way to go. And if you must wear something with a small heel, pack flats in your bag as a back-up option.
In a statement on Saturday, SXSW LLC said it does not have the financial resources to issue refunds. AUSTIN, Texas — Two people who claim to have spent more than $1,000 to attend South by Southwest 2020 are suing the festival over its no-refund policy after the event was canceled amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Doing SXSW without a badge (free, or mostly free) is very possible and even enjoyable. No need to spend a fortune on a pass. Going badge-less means attending day parties, so set your alarm clock. Day parties are usually events staged in conjunction with SXSW, but are not officially sanctioned by the festival.
For only $330, you can upgrade to Platinum at any time. Contact reg@sxsw.com to upgrade your badge to Platinum today and get ready to experience all that SXSW 2020 has to offer.
