If it's anything like we're dealing with, $10,000 buys you a T1. So, to provide enough bandwidth for everyone the cost per ticket is likely to go up $100/person or more, not $10/person. If a hotel/conference center has the bandwidth to accomodate many heavy users (say with a 50mb or 100mb line) I'd expect that the cost would be even greater per mb -- they're not here to give bulk discounts, but make you pay as much as possible to cover the "freebies." Then, after all of that, you have to deal with QoS. They're not going to let you just waltz in and be the network admin...
