"Laura Stein has set the TEDx licensee policy so that one cannot charge for attendance"
This is incorrect, when we organized TEDxCMU in 2010, Laura Stein told us that some other events had sold tickets to cover costs.
Here is an extract from the TED rules: " (TED will allow certain TEDx events to charge a small admission fee -- always under $100 -- to help cover the event's production costs. In order to charge an admission fee, you must obtain permission from TED first.)"
I'm a bit confused - how could a TEDx event charge admission for a livestream of an official TED event, to which they are not affiliated? Afaik TED/TEDGlobal/TEDIndia are not TEDx events.
Did you mean that TEDx events could not charge for a livestrem of their own event? That is probably true.
