[TYPO3] T3CON07 pricing and people from low payed countries..

[virgil huston]

This is interesting. I just booked my room (for 2 people, so maybe this is
why prices are higher?):
19 Sept - no punkt.de rate, there should be as people will arrive the day
before - E 155, no breakfast
20 Sept - punkt.de fee includes breakfast - E 124
21-21 Sept - punkt.de fee includes breakfast - E 100 each night

This is expensive for US people (and I would think it high even in Europe)
because of US $, we need to switch to the Euro :-)
