[Openstack-operators] Free vs Paid ticket to the Operators Midcycle.

I've never worked with an organisation that would willingly pay for a
ticket if there were free ones on the table, the ones often included in
sponsorship deals are even used first.

Just the idea of splitting by those that 'can' expense it seems odd to me.

There must surely be some sort of other recognition?
