With respect but this is FUD.

The standard ticket price for EP 2013 were for Student/Individual/Business:
330 ? / 500 ? / 620 ?

The standard EP 2014 rates are for Student/Individual/Business:

200 ? / 400 ? / 600 ?

Keep in mind that all EP 2014 tickets are all-inclusive (social event,
catering during the sprints etc.)
