1

Open the tickets page

Go to the tickets page. Every ticket is bought with a WordPress.org account (why?), so it asks you to log in first.

No account yet? Press please create one.

Already have an account? Press log in with your WordPress.org account, sign in, and go to step 6.

The note above the tickets: Before purchasing your tickets, please log in with your WordPress.org account. If you don't have an account, please create one. The please create one link is circled.

The other two boxes are optional. If a picture puzzle appears, solve it and carry on.

Buying for others

More than one ticket

Set the quantity above 1 in step 6 and the next screen has one form per ticket. You pay once for all of them.

Ticket 1 is yours

Your name, your email and the five questions, as in steps 7 and 8. The forms for the other tickets come after it.

₹800 × 2, paid in one go.

The others get a name and an email

From ticket 2 on, the form asks only for a first name, last name and email. Each person then gets a link by email, logs in with their own WordPress.org account (making one first, as in steps 2 to 4, if they need to) and answers the remaining questions.

Until they do, their ticket shows as Unconfirmed. You can’t confirm it for them, because your account already holds ticket 1.

The top of the form for ticket 2, General Admission: a checkbox reading I don't know who will use this ticket yet, circled, above an empty First name box.
Ticket 2 asks for a name and an email.

Not sure who will use it yet? Tick I don’t know who will use this ticket yet. The name and email boxes go away, and the ticket’s link comes to you by email instead. Forward it to whoever ends up with the ticket, and they log in with their own WordPress.org account to fill in their details.

All filled in? Press Checkout and carry on from step 9.

Good to know

Why a WordPress.org account?

It is free, and it is not a website. It is your login for WordPress.org, the home of the open-source project, and WordCamp tickets are bought with it.

One login for every WordCamp

WordCamps around the world sell tickets through a WordPress.org login. Make it once and it works for this one and every one after.

Your ticket stays yours

Logged in, you can open your ticket again and change the name or email on it, without digging out an old email.

Ready for Contributor Day

The WordPress teams you can join on Contributor Day all work through WordPress.org accounts, so yours is ready before you arrive.

If something sticks

Questions, answered

The email has not arrived

Give it a few minutes, then look in Spam, Promotions and any other tab your mail app sorts things into. Still nothing? On the Confirm your email address screen, press Resend confirmation email.

I typed the wrong email address

On the Confirm your email address screen, press Incorrect email? Update email address. and type the right one. The link goes to the new address.

The form will not take my username

Usernames hold only lower case letters and numbers, so priya2026 works and Priya.K does not. If it is taken, add a few numbers. You cannot change it later, so pick one you are happy to keep.

I already have an account but forgot the password

Do not make a second one. Press log in with your WordPress.org account on the tickets page, then Lost your password? on the login screen, and WordPress.org emails you a link to set a new one.

I am buying tickets for other people

Pick how many in step 6. Ticket 1 is yours, and each extra ticket needs only a name and an email. That person then confirms it with their own WordPress.org account. More than one ticket has the details.

I need to change the name on my ticket

Open the link in your ticket email, log in with your WordPress.org account, and press Edit information. The four screens are above.

Can I get a refund?

Tickets are not refundable, but they are transferable: change the name and email on yours, and the community WhatsApp group is where people pass on tickets they cannot use.

Ready? It takes ten steps.
