I think $250 to $300 for a badge is a bit much for what they now include, but free or very low cost badges open up a whole different can of worms. Even at that, $300 vs $100 for a badge isn't going to be the deciding factor on whether I attend a show. It's fourth or fifth on my list of expenses. Travel, room and food all being higher on that list.

I agree - we sent out promos thru several affiliate programs and webmaster resources including Platinum Bucks, GFY, Adult Chamber, etc. The promos had badges as low as $100
Fact of the matter is nobody registers until last minute so alot end up paying $300
Most of the people bitching about badge prices either do not go to the show or get free passes anyway.
