I’ve received over a dozen requests & questions related to Microsoft Ignite 2019.  Here’s an FAQ of sorts for those of you wondering:

1. NO COMPLIMENTARY PASSES
   There are no complimentary passes available.  If you’re a customer of mine, I did submit your name as a requestor but unfortunately we were not granted any passes.
2. PREMIER-FUNDED PASSES ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE
   Ignite passes purchased through Premier had to have been done back in April-May.  They consumed roughly 10hrs of Premier contract time and again, needed to be done early – as I’ve mentioned before.  There were only a limited number of passes that were allowed to be purchased this way and once those were gone around mid-May, that was it.
3. NO ESCALATION OF WAITLIST PRIORITY
   The online waitlist is your best option for passes at this time as we have exhausted all of our passes & registrations in the US. I’ve gone as high as I can go and our marketing team has no influence or ability to prioritize the waitlist. The Ignite registration team will contact a customer directly as space becomes available.

Sorry for the bad news but this is what I know to date.
