There's really nothing funny about it. The people that pay that type of money aren't there as spectators, they are developers running a software business and they see that amount of money they spend for a WWDC ticket as chump change and is going to be a tax write-off anyway.
Exactly! I know one iOS / MFi developer where the WWDC fee ($1600) is less than two days full time at his billing rate. Can easily see him working off a Mac Book Pro between sessions and hotel rooms.

Just "for fun"? You do realize you've taken the opportunity away from other developers, correct?
Not really, I am sure there will be a secondary distribution for those who do not buy a ticket but won the opportunity. Then again, who know what kind of black mark that makes on someone's Apple developer account.
