TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 discount offered $100 off select passes

The TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 discount offered an extra $100 off three ticket types, according to an August 4 announcement from TechCrunch Events. The limited offer applied to Attendee, Founder and Investor passes, a detail that matters for anyone comparing the cost of going to the startup conference.

TechCrunch said the promotion was scheduled to end at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on Friday, August 7, 2026. It described the $100 reduction as an addition to its existing discounted pricing, rather than a standalone ticket price.

The organizer also said its next ticket-price tier was due to begin August 21. That is a separate deadline: the extra $100 promotion was set to expire two weeks earlier, while the then-current general discount was scheduled to continue until the later date.

Which TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 passes qualified for the $100 discount?

Only the Attendee, Founder and Investor passes were named in TechCrunch's flash-sale announcement. The announcement did not say that Student, Non-Profit or Expo+ passes qualified, so buyers could not assume the promotion applied to those lower-priced options.

TechCrunch's ticket page listed early-bird prices of $749 for an Attendee pass, $799 for a Founder pass and $899 for an Investor pass. If the extra $100 offer applied at checkout to those listed prices, that would equate to $649, $699 and $799, respectively. Those figures are illustrations, not independently confirmed checkout prices, because the ticket-page excerpt does not display the flash-sale terms.

• Attendee: listed at $749 before the potential additional discount.
• Founder: listed at $799 before the potential additional discount.
• Investor: listed at $899 before the potential additional discount.

The same ticket page listed regular prices of $1,049, $1,099 and $1,199 for those passes. It also said group, bundle and buy-one-get-one offers could not be combined with other promotions or discounts. TechCrunch's August 4 announcement did not specify whether any other offer restrictions applied to the $100 sale.

When and where was TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 scheduled?

TechCrunch said Disrupt 2026 was scheduled for October 13 through October 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco. The company said the event would bring together founders, venture capital investors, technology workers and other attendees, with programming and networking among the planned activities.

For prospective attendees, the practical distinction is eligibility and timing: TechCrunch identified three pass categories for the additional reduction and set August 7 as the deadline for that specific offer. The official ticket page should be checked for the price and terms available at the time of purchase.
