Apple is selling tickets to this year's Worldwide Developers Conference - though if you get hold of one, leave your selfie stick in the hotel room.

Those wishing to attend have until Friday to register for Cupertino's lottery system.

The confab will be held between June 8 and 12 in San Francisco's Moscone West conference center. Apple is expected to show off new builds of OS X and possibly the first look at iOS 9 for those lucky enough to have their ticket requests pulled out of the hat.

"The App Store ignited an app ecosystem that is simply amazing, forever changing the lives of customers and creating millions of jobs worldwide," gushed Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of marketing in a canned statement.

"We've got incredible new technologies for iOS and OS X to share with developers at WWDC and around the world, and can't wait to see the next generation of apps they create."
