Please stop trolling and calling us unprofessional just because you
did not understand the concept of early. It has been clearly announced
that we would give out 300 tickets for reduced prices (which is almost
1/3 or 1/4 of all tickets). Nobody did expect that the personal tickets
would sell that well (thank btw. to all the people that made an Early
Bird purchase). At least the organization team has a financial plan and
a budget and it is _obvious_ to every child that can calculate that you
can not sell an undetermined number of tickets to a reduced price over
some fixed period if you don't want to run over your budget. Adding 50
more tickets to the Early Bird sale  gives us possibly less financial
flexibility with other things. So I once again reject your "very
unprofessional" claim. Many people of the organization team have been
Python, Zope and Plone conferences for the last ten years. Feel free to
participate in the organization or please think about your allegations
next time.
