They give additional perks to piratical l professional attendees, like more swag, a listing on the web site (IIRC), employer name on badge (IIRC) and a ticket to the Professional Delegates Networking Dinner. But mostly it's the honor system: people are told that if their employer is paying for their attendance, they are expected to get a professional ticket, so people paying their own way can get a hobbyist or student ticket. In my experience most companies respect this: the honor system seems to be working pretty well for them.
