The first batch of 2,000 Austin resident-reserved SXSW wristbands has already sold out, and second batch of 2,000 “locals-only” bands have just been made available. The second-round discounted price is $175, and are available for immediate purchase here.
As previously reported, SXSW has made Austin-resident passes available at a discounted price previously. This year’s sold-out first round discount took a total of $76 off of the regular wristband price of $249, and the second round (going for $175) will shave $50 off.
The wristbands will be sold over the internet and require a credit card and an Austin billing address (click here to check out approved zip codes). Only two wristbands will be made available to all local purchasers, and bands are non-refundable and non-transferable. Purchasers can pick up their tickets at the Austin Convention Center from March 13 through 17.
