Likewise, I have planned to purchase an early-bird ticket for a

out.
We were surprised too...
Sadly it seemed to kick in just after all the people able to fix it went
home for the weekend :/
I would like to know that I will be able to purchase one even if the 1
October date passes without the problem having been fixed.
We've asked the company that handles registration to re-open the early
bird rate, which they'll hopefully tackle in about 10 hours time (first
thing in the morning, German time). So that people who missed out this
weekend still have a chance, we've asked them to push the end date out to
the end of Thursday. As it (now) says on the ApacheCon homepage:
----------
Early Bird Tickets return Monday 1st, until Thursday 4th
Early Bird ticket sales were set to end on Monday, but due to a
communication mix-up the accidentally closed on Saturday... We've asked
the company that handles ticketing to re-open Early Bird Ticket sales
first thing on Monday, and to extend the deadline until Thursday 4th
October to give everyone who missed out a chance to still lock in the
early-bird rate. Sorry about the mix-up folks!

Keep an eye out for a tweet tomorrow, once the fix has gone in!
Cheers
Nick
