Sorry, but I know there was an entry fee when it was on Howard from the 2nd year on. I know – I was there.

For those asking about an entry fee, I’m 99% sure there was no entry fee when it was held on Howard, which stopped about 4 years ago or so. I doubt many people would’ve been willing to pay an entry fee to sit on 120 degree pavement.

Looking forward to a great day/night of music, bbq, and cold beer – you could volunteer next year and get in for free.. no complaining about entry fee folks, as stated before these events cost money – stages, musicians, off duty police officers to close roads, event insurance, waste disposal etc…, plus the $$ goes to worthy community efforts…

There’s always been an entry fee because it’s always been a fundraiser for somebody. Plus, the musicians don’t work for free and the stage, sound, etc., costs money.

We got tickets online for $10 but they add a $2 fee, so $12. Anything over $10 is a bit much. I promise to buy lots of beer!

That would explain why me and Troll have never been.

Will gladly pay for the beer, but I $15 to enter? Not this year. I’ll sit one block away in a lawn chair with a cooler.

But really, has there always been an entry fee?

They’ve never allowed outside coolers, at least since the thing’s been in Oakhurst.
