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.
Another thing to think about is that attendees MUST BE vetted and qualified. If not it spoils the show - remmeber the GUN incident at XBIX 2 years ago. That was a direct result of not proper qualifying free badges.
