I have no idea, but it looks like they've been in the event space for a while so I would expect the logistics side, at a minimum, to work well. Running several events concurrently also lets them benefit from shared infrastructure and expertise instead of being a purely one-off thing. I'd probably consider it once the speakers are announced.
It's sounds pretty standard in it's exorbitance to me.
The tickets that aren't gifted tend to be paid by corporations using up their training budgets, and well-heeled consultant networkers rather than individual coders I suspect.
Yeah it sucks that people who are using Rust as hobby can't participate in these conferences w/o coughing up big chunk of cash. But hopefully there are recorded streams available for these later.

They're running three events at The Brewery that week: PHP UK, Rust Nation UK, and GopherCon UK.
I don't know, but the PHP UK conference videos for 2016 to 2022 are on YouTube:

Gopher UK conference videos (2015 to 2022):

Usually it costs a lot because organizers expect companies to pay their staff to go there and "learn" stuff.
Milking people using rust professionally does not sound profitable.
It's also hard to justify to pay and go somewhere instead of just doing some livestream.
Can't you see it will be the best event ever for the same reason that this post is on the front page of HN? It's about Rust.
