Stop offering MWC tickets on their own as prize

Posted on by

Lots of mobile sites offering a free ticket to MWC which happens next week (here’s Microsoft’s Window Blog, as one example). A little note for those sites… the ticket to MWC is not the issue. The price of a flight, along with accommodation in Barcelona at short notice, that’s the problem. And it’s a problem that isn’t solved as part of your prize package.

Same goes for SXSW badges, if there are no hotels available in Austin, don’t offer a badge without offering to help with accommodation.
