Right now, a $40 online satallite with 1250 entries would awary 5 seats. If the buy-in were increased to $25,000, then that same tournament would only award 2 seats, so increasing the buy-in would reduce the number of entries.

Even if increasing to $25,000 doen't reduce the field much (and I think it would), there is certainly some buy-in that is high enough to reduce the number of entries. (If the buy-in was a bajillion dollars, then there would be 0 entries). So if you want 250 entries, there is a buy-in ammount somewhere between $10,000 and a bajillion dollars that would result in 250 entries. I just din't know what that number is.
