This was an issue on Reddit and elsewhere. Ticket prices to a TED talk are at least $6k apparently http://www.ted.com/conversations/1950/ted_s_6000_price_tag_l...

One ticket went for $33k http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/next/archives/2008/01/a...

How much is a ticket to their youtube channel?

(free, of course)

But the whole point is they only put the talks they want you to hear on YouTube. Rich people hearing about income inequality is nothing new, but it's downright scary when they limit the non-rich hearing about it.

I see your point, but I think the point of the complaint was that that kind of networking is only available to the wealthy.
