   You can volunteer at GDC and get free or significantly reduced tickets (haven't done it myself but friends have), all access too I think, but not sure. You can get the expo pass for $250 and see the expo floor and network and go to parties etc but you'll miss the talks.

   And if you cant afford GDC, pick up a vault pass. It has all the talks, you just dont get the same networking. Definitely a cheaper alternative for the same knowledge though.

   Are the talks in the Main Conference, $995, or Summits & Tutorials, $795? I've thought about going it but that's a lot of money, especially factoring in travel and lodging.
