Worth exploring with data: what inspires or deters attendance. That may be affected by all of: the various prices listed, the difference between the high and low prices listed, presentation of other options, banner text used, &c.
Okay, but we should look for existing knowledge and research related to the subject to begin with. Answers for Wikimania ticket pricing are not as straightforward to determine by A/B testing as fundraising approaches. The population involved is a much smaller sample, motivating factors may be more diverse, and the impact on the test subjects perhaps a little too personal for that to be appropriate.
