There is a clause in all Mrs Casey's steward 'contracts' that states that preference will be given to paying customers over non-paying stewards should a venue prove overpopular. Using the badge to get into a venue first is frowned upon, although some with a mate on the door manage it far too often.... Using the badge to get freebies from concession stands is also a no-no (I've seen it tried, and also queue jumping at concessions by a steward), luckily, stewards are mostly a sensible lot and don't try to screw the system.

The festival has to make money, so the emphasis will always be on fee paying customers. Even season ticket holders have been asked to make way for single event ticket holders at some venues.
