On: $699 to attend lean startup conference

I'm in the same boat with Summit Series. The speaker line-up is amazing.. but there's no way I can find ~$3,000 to attend. :-(

Price has traditionally been used in things like TED to ensure exclusivity.

However if you look at many of these high end conferences it's the same groups/kinds of people attending all the time making them little more than echo chambers.

Luckily there are lots of alternatives now. BarCamp and friends of course. Reboot and Shift in Europe are also good.
