Oh. And the ’slightly dodgy comments’ email would be from me to flag it up with ‘the big cheese.’

Now where the heck are my privacy settings for stopping that? Very impressed ;-)

Hey guys — yep, still checking in on your blog from time to time! All comments re pricing are being taken into account.

Worth pointing out that the prices were significantly cheaper if you booked early on (I’m not saying ‘cheap’, mind you, but we feel the conference content will be good value for money. For the speaker line-up we’ve got, you’d usually have to get on a plane across the Atlantic before you even paid the ticket price.)

Tickets were also available for £175 to companies who’re part of our membership organisation, Codeworks Connect, which supports local digital businesses.

That’s not exactly free, of course… but like I say, we will be taking into account any feedback we get on pricing (and anything else, for that matter).

I’ll take a free ticket :-)

Trouble is I suspect that all the people who actually forked out the money might get a tad hacked off at all these freeloaders hanging around and just generally looking messy and unable to afford large amounts of money for tickets. They might also ask awkward questions! (though it would be easy to ask Kurtzweil an awkward question : what the hell are you talking about man?)
