True enough. 4 people to a room in the Marriott for 4 nights works out to just under $200/person. Reasonable, sure, but still not cheap. Then there's food & gas & parking... even if you bring poptarts, bread, & peanut butter, you'll still eat one 'real' meal a day. (Actually, that worked out nicely for us this year.) And there's stuff in the consuite.
I don't honestly know how much, if anything, is comped for non-famous guests on track panels. Volunteers get some amount of comp, but you have to spend a lot of time volunteering.
