Unfortunately yes, for 2 reasons....

1/ It means we don't have to internally "police" the event to see who has tickets and who doesn't, we'd rather that everyone can just wander around freely.

2/ For the event to break even we need to fill the pub with ticket holders, otherwise I am personally out of pocket.....doing the full weekend at such low cost means that there is no slack in the finances.

3/ All of the acts have also agreed to appear for low or no fees to help get the club and the Winter Warmer Weekend off the ground....it completely negates their generosity in building up a fund for future events if people don't pay. Even without acts these things cost money to put on.

I'm sorry if this doesn't meet your particular needs....the full weekend is only £15 though with day tickets available at the ridiculously low cost of £5 for Friday or Sunday and £8 for Saturday....I don't think anyone can really complain at these prices.
