Well there are some big differences:
1. PHP and mySQL are major league players, while TYPO3 is more like NFL
Europe (and that's still schmoozed).
2. The prices you might have in mind are prices for established events,
where you know what you will get for your money.
3. AFAIK speakers get payed when making a speech for those major league cons

Raising the same prices as those big players seems a bit overbearing to me
... but it fits the overall picture ;-)
