They should charge everyone the same fee to attend, if they aren't selling enough badges then maybe they should lower prices or provide more value?

I agree with this wholeheartedly. When shows come up with comp badges which don't map to who the sponsors are and don't map to who can afford them and have some sort of anonymously juried system, that definitely leads to bad feelings and can really impact the demographics of who is showing up in undesirable ways.
