I respectfully acknowledge that your proven formula has been working
well.  My only point was that if you are having problems with 
overbooking of events, then it is probably time to consider whether the
entrance fee might be too low.  If you are having problems with
overbooking then I would not think "lowering willingness to join" should
be as much of a concern as it might have been in the past.
