We've now stopped taking the badge stall to festivals It got to the point where we were having difficulty meeting stall fees(except for one very nice festival that classed us as a festival 'amenity')and the cost of badge bits, petrol etc had to be taken into consideration.

We felt that 2 tickets per stall was fair - which meant one of us had to pay when Firecat came too, but it was worth it. The 1 ticket works ok if it IS a ticket as you can pass it between you but most festivals use wrist bands these days.

A suggestion which we used to appreciate (since most of our stuff only cost 50p!) was a low stall fee plus a smallish percentage of anything taken over this. Then those who made the most ended up paying more - and the festival ended up winning out as even our stall often handed over more than the minimum. It also encouraged a range of stalls as people were prepared to give it a try.

Easy access to a well used thoroughfare is also useful. Then people pop in on their way past - and may go back if they've seen something but not wanted to buy it immediately.
