SXSW Events and Parties Without a Badge
Each year I provide a South by Southwest guide to the 10-day interactive film and music festival. I provide lots of tips and tricks for attending SXSW free events and enjoying the music scene.
Fake it till you make it! Seriously though, if you wear some badges, like this DIY media badge, or act confident like you know what and where you are going, you’ll have better luck getting into official events without a paid wristband.
Many SXSW-sanctioned events and unofficial events allow people with and without badges to RSVP for free entry.
Start RSPing early to the events and shows and get on the guest lists. Often, these lists fill up, and you might be able to get on a waitlist.
