Now you want to go to the classes its very expensive.
I have a idea that would be productive for the people that would go but wouldnt make a dime it would be a wash actually.

Ok you bring a good point, but these are probably consumers (b2c) shows. and please don't forget the kind of industry we work in... IF the shows were free, then you'd have 1000 Johny Dicks on the floor but you wouldn't do any business... We have B2B shows... The idea of having a price tag and a badge to get in filters the Joe Shmoes who are coming for the "tits& Asses" factor only. Ok I agree that 300$ for the badge is "over filtering", but you really need to have a minimal price in order to filter who gets in and who is serious about doing biz in this industry
