After the madhouse rush to buy tickets for WWDC yesterday, several developers got emails from Apple saying their tickets were "not eligible" and thus were cancelled. The common thread seems to be that buying multiple tickets with the same credit card and billing address caused the issue.

Storified by Steve Streza · Thu, Apr 26 2012 12:23:22

I just got an email from Apple "Because you are not eligible to buy it, we are canceling the WWDC ticket you bought this morning." What?!
