It's March, which means that in just a few days Austin will be flooded with celebrities of the film, music and interactive varieties. While the South by Southwest festival may be one of the exciting times of the year for many Austinites, the high badge prices keep it from being a reality for many others.
Not so fast. There are ways for you to attend this year's SXSW festival without spending a dime. First of all, the city hosts a slew of free events associated with the festival, including a free concert series on Auditorium Shores (Counting Crows are one of the headliners this year), a guitar and poster show, and various arcade games set up across town.
Want even more access? You can sign up to become one of SXSW's 2,000 volunteers, who do everything from greet out-of-town registrants, to work tables at the Austin Convention Center, to assist with music production. If that sounds cool, check out the official SXSW site for more details.
