If more of us are interested, I'm happy to email the relevant people and
asking whether they would be willing to introduce a concessionary rate
for those *on the receiving end* of full time education.
Obviously, I don't know if that will get us anywhere, but I for one
can't spend 70 -> 85 pounds + accommodation + travel when I am
unemployed and in full time education.
For those taking home a salary at the end of the month, I think things
are different but these prices are evidently not aimed at us and so I
think it is at least worth pointing out to the organisers that we find
the price prohibitive.
