If its in like in an Official SXSW party and held in a SXSW tent, every time ive been at SXSW they always ask to see your badge, but those are like the showcase parties held by the certain countries and their music (which most of the ones on that page are). those are held during the day across from the convention center usually. but the unofficials i hear are open to the public. hope that helps. if i am wrong please correct me

it was my understanding that the day parties listed on the sxsw site generally require badges. it’s the multitudes of “unofficial” day parties that are often open to the public.

not sure what you’re saying “c”. but day parties are pretty much open for the public. night shows are you pretty much need at least a wristband unless the place is dead.

so do you need a badge or wristband for all of these SXSW official parties?

looks like most are during the day…
