If you haven’t got your badge for SXSW yet, what are you waiting for? At midnight tonight (Friday 7th) there will be no more discounts, and the badges will be at their maximum price point.

Here’s how the price for your badge looks now, and how it will look after Friday midnight right up to the time when you walk up to the Austin Convention Center and buy your badge because you forgot to do it beforehand.

If you are buying a badge at this stage, and especially if you are buying one to come to Interactive, then please check out available accomodation before you head to SXSW.com to buy the badge. There are no refunds, and hotel space is at a premium this year.

And by at a premium we mean there was more room in Bethlehem.

A quick heads up to everyone who’s not yet purchased their badge for SXSW 2013… the current discount level is going to end at midnight, Austin time, this Friday (strictly speaking, 23:59 on Friday January 11th).

Also worth noting that the SXSW Housing Desk is showing no availability of rooms from Friday 8th through Monday 11th. You might want to make sure you have accommodation sorted out before you plan on attending Interactive, because if you were hoping to get a SXSW hotel after buying the badge… you’re a bit late.

A quick heads up for all of the readers of The Baby! who may not have got the email blast from SXSW… today is the last day you can pick up your SXSW 2013 badges for the lowest rate. After midnight tonight (Austin time) everything moves up a price band.

You’ll still be picking up a discount compared to the walk-up prices, but individual event badges go up by around $50, while the Gold and Platinum badges get another $100 added to the price.

If you haven’t yet got your badge (really? And you’re a Baby! reader? Unless you’re waiting for some sort of grant to come through to cover the trip, who are you?) then head over to sxsw.com/attend, and we’ll see you in March.
