I think 500 is fine. If it is mistaken as like a business tactic that's unfortunate, but the difference has to be substantial to encourage online registrations.

and i suggest to do some more classification, like Students ( Academic Institutions ) and Others ( classify further if needed)
This came up earlier. I was personally against it and if I remember, it wasn't very popular on the list. The idea is that we'll keep the rates low enough for students and make that the rate for everyone.
+1. Keep one rate. That also takes away the hassle of screening IDs. I am sure there are those out there who carry their student IDs from the previous year to just try their luck at a discount -- not because they can't afford to pay the regular amount. Even if the people manning the registration desks are diligent and catch these, it still is wasted time and effort.
