Thanks a lot @Dominica this really helps, those long travels really helping you to get the best options!
Will check the search on Tuesday and already set alerts on skyscanner, will add farecompare as well. So let me first book ML Coupon then.I really need to plan our other places to visit as well, now the new dates planned is from July 23 - Aug 6. New to this 20+ hours flight so wanted to make sure i get at least a day or two before attending MC2017.

I might need an invitation for both of us, that would make it easier for us to get the visa. Hope I can discuss all these here in this post!

You're welcome!
So, you have a good amount of time there to see some of the surrounding area. The USA is quite large, so you will want to check google maps for the drive times to other places to which you may be interested in road tripping. Something I would definitely suggest, is making time to visit Niagara Falls. It's about 1.5 hours from Rochester and most definitely worth your limited time and the drive. If you are able to get a visa for Canada, that's a bonus, but if not, there are spectacular views of the Horseshoe Falls from the American side. The Finger Lakes wine region is scenic and scattered with small wineries that offer tastings, many times free. Winery hopping is a great way to spend an afternoon. It's possible we may have an informal wine tour after MangoCon2017 too. There are many places within reach, suggestions all depend on your interests, as well as how much time you're willing to spend traveling.

Same as this year no refunds but tickets are transferable (so you can sell it off to someone else).

Woot!!
-
By using one of these ticket taking systems I would have to raise the cost significantly (even if they say free they really aren't when you look at the details).

You mean with Stripe, PayPal & Coinbase or the application Attendize?
-
Stripe and Paypal are just payment processing. Things like Attendize have lots of hidden things (believe me I spent a lot of time last year going through about 20 of them).

Got it! I thought since Attendize is self hosted, there won't be any costs as we will be the one managing things on it!
-
Part's of it are but parts of it force you to use their payment processor etc and that is where they get you.
-
Damn, was hoping this would be more central.

It's not moving from Rochester. That turned out to be a great location and venue.
