i have nothing against profit, but the way is not to increase prices due to lower attendance but to make the show more attractive to the attendants by fair pricing and high value - then the profit will come by itself.
You missed the point champ.

Making a few bucks for the hassle is one thing. Raping attendees six ways from Sunday is another. Some shows put a lot back into the show. You get awesome speakers, snack shacks, catered meal or two, and killer party here or there.

Then you have others where you pay out the ass, and have next to nothing invested in the show. Seminars are sleepers. Few parties. Little return. Max. gouging.
