Hello,
One of DebugAcademy.com 's alumni let me know she has tickets to DrupalCon which she can't use and asked if I knew anyone to sell them to. I figured posting here makes sense, especially given how much time is left until DrupalCon Nashville.
Let me know if you'd like to purchase them. Looking for $350 or best offer.
Posting this to multiple groups because it's equally relevant to most people. Please reach out ASAP if you're interested.
