An empty stage with a bunch of empty seats. Like the empty seats at the non-A.I. sessions held at Build.

Microsoft's yearly Developer Conference, Build 2026, is in a few months. Anyone can watch the sessions online for free, or you can "request to attend" and maybe get the pleasure of purchasing one of the limited in-person tickets for $1,099. Hosting a large conference, especially in California, especially in San Francisco, especially when all the vendors know you're a gigantic company with money, is expensive. To help offset costs, Microsoft today announced a third type of ticket available to anyone to purchase. The "Non-A.I. Ticket" gets you in-person access to everything not involving A.I. at the conference. This includes 2 sessions on June 2nd held at the Burger King across the street, plus lunch on June 3rd (includes a toy but no dessert). The cost of the ticket is $900 and is selling fast.
