Here's how SxSW works:

3 ways of going to the SXSW:(the gist) Not exactly for sure on the prices but am very close. Saw different prices.
1. Purchase Badge $525 on up - attend Everything available for all the days and a loaded tote bag - first ones to enter venue
2. Purchase Wristband - $115-130 limit two per person must be purchased at Waterloo Records in Austin, TX, no online or reserve here, able to attend all music venues but enter after badge holders. They will sell the first 2000 wristbands at the lower end price range and then the next 1000 wristbands will be slightly higher.
3. Purchase ticket at door of Club that you want to enter - $10-20 a person but these enter last depending on occupancy of venue.

there will be 3 separate lines at the venues.

I have joined the text message thing for SXSW and will receive text messages on my cell for updates on SXSW.

I believe the sale of the wristbands starts Feb. 23 or 24th. The sale of the Badges have started since September. Individual tickets at the door of the venue.

OK wish me luck, I am going to start working on my plans to be in Austion for SXSW.

I will probably only be able to be there for Fri & Sat and return home on Sunday, but we'll see what happens. First I must find a room.

Hey Ceeje, once I get my plans set I would like to be a part of the street teaming effort, for however much time I can be there.

I will let you know as soon as I have worked out the details and am sure exactly when I can be there.

treebee, found out that Lovehammers are playing at 1:00A.M.which would technically be VERY, VERY early Sunday Morning.

When purchasing wristbands at Waterloo Records they open at 10:00A.M. on Thurs. Feb. 23, I read somewhere that there will be 3 lines. 2 lines for cash only and 1 line for credit cards. Don't call Waterloo about the wristbands, I have read that in lots of places too. People will start to line up early to purchase wristbands.

Current news found in the Austin Chronicle dated February 17th:
The Austin Chronicle will announce the dates when SXSW 2006 wristbands will go on sale in the February 24th issue.
So it looks like that this Thursday is not wristband sale day! I will get a new Austin Chronicle on Friday the 24th for the current info. at that time.

Lh will not be playing at SxSW. They are no longer on the schedule and Hammermistress at Lh board has convirmed this through a PM with Dino.
