This is how the festival promoter gets a cut... If you use the honor system then people just pick an amount and the promoter gets screwed... If ya' buy the tokens from the promoter and then charge whatever you want (doesn't matter) the tokens are then turned in to the promoter and he gives you the 80-90% back in cash...

It's a good system... I mean, the promoter is bearing most of the financial burden and if the festival gets rained out or is a bust, guess what... He loses... If you want more festivals to be a success then just accept this as a means to grow them...
