As Reuben Abraham keeps reminding us, TED India is priced at a
fraction of
the cost of the US sessions. Under half-price, I believe. In
perspective,
the India Today Conclave costs about the same amount.

Sumant, The India Today Conclave is about the same price, but with
Dehli hotel prices included, the total costs appears to us to be much
more expensive. We definitely looked at their pricing model (and
others) as a guide. TED will never be the least expensive conference
to attend. However, those prices help bring the conference's speakers
to the rest of the world on ted.com.
By comparison, TED in Long Beach costs $6,000, $12,000 or $100,000
(five years). The two higher tiers have additional benefits, and are
for people interested in funding our other work, including the
TEDPrize, TED Fellows, and TED.com. TEDGlobal in Oxford is $4500. A
limited number of tickets for NGO and Academic attendees at both
conferences are available for $2,000. Finally, the TED Fellows program
ensures a great group of 25 amazing people attend per conference as
our guests. In subsequent years that number will grow as we add senior
fellows.
Cheers,
Tom
