If you are looking for an event that is focused on Android, yet a little bit different when compared to your typical conference, you may want to check out the Big Android BBQ which announced the availability of tickets for the 2013 event which will be held on October 10th – 12th in Hurst, Texas. Unlike past years, the event will start on a Thursday, but the BBQ and fun times focused on Android will be returning. The organizers announced several packages for attendees, ranging from $55 up to $5,317.78. The middle packages out of the choices follow the succession of Android versions as you can pick from the following:

General admission ($55) – access the pool party, daily sessions, and all-you-can-eat BBQ at the after party
Ice Cream Sandwich ($100) – same as general admission plus a reserved seat for the keynote, access to a VIP registration line, and a bottle of Ray Walters’ secret BBQ rub
Jelly Bean ($175) – same as above plus private lunch events on Saturday and Sunday with event staff and volunteers
Key Lime Pie ($250) – same as above plus a private BBQ dinner on Friday night with other prominent community members, staff, and sponsors
BBQ [x] ($5,317.78) – get flown in to the event first class, get a room at the Hyatt, get access to golf cart service between the hotel and event center, and meet Big Android BBQ founder Aaron Kasten in a unique situation and spend some time with him.

Besides the fun the organizers are having with the packages, there have also announced some more meaty details. These include three sponsors for this year’s event including Samsung Mobile, the Cyanogenmod team, and XDA Developers.
