    It's not too late to drop the price on those tickets. Village is too empty. It is also expensive to go. Festival cannot be an event to raise funds, it's a celebration.

      The village ticket prices will never be enough to recoup the cost they spend on entertainers alone .. until they get major sponsors they will have to charge for entry on some nights.
