I would also like to see this feature.
I've tried to do this by enabling the "Require Up-Front Payment" option on the event. However, when I save the event, close it, and re-open it, the setting has been cleared. Your support team tells me that this feature won't work if the event itself is free.

The same is also true for event restrictions. A better interface would be to allow the user to select multiple gender options instead of only one.
