Yes, the idea behind the nominal participation fee in Orvieto (at the 
OOoCon, actually) was to limit fake registrations. While we were rather 
flexible about it (in some cases transferring money would have cost more 
than this symbolic fee), it helped in having accurate participants figures.

But I wouldn't mix the two problems, i.e., avoiding that people register 
for a conference and then, without notice, don't show up and avoiding 
that random people have a say in deciding where the conference is held.
