I set up my jewelry at several shows each year. When I send in a booth and electrical fee it is to rent space. The one show that I have done where there is an application fee that is required with photos for the jury is added to the booth fee if accepted. If I am not accepted the $5.00 application fee is used to cover the postage and handling of my photos so they can be returned. If I rent the space I will run the risk of making a profit out of that space. It is certainly cheaper than owning a storefront.

I have never compared a booth fee to an audition fee before and I'll have to give it some serious consideration as I think about it. If I am donating my time for cause however I will not pay to do so.
