What is the concept behind the free for all festival?

This festival was started by avid music lovers who feel that the live music scene needs a serious restructuring. Too often tickets are sold with heavy “service fees” attached; the profit from these service fees are never passed through to the bands who are actually responsible for packing the show. Consequently, we are attempting a pay-what-you-want, ticketless music & arts experience. Our hope is that this medium of exchange will help bridge the gap between fans and bands with as little money being lost between the two as possible. Live music is, in its purest form, about the cathartic release of performance shared with an audience; this, we feel, should be available to all ages.

In an effort to provide full disclosure, the promoters for this event are putting up ~$13,000 in hopes that donations from fans and sponsorship dollars will help in breaking even in the whole venture. Additionally, all money made over our expenses will be put towards another event in the future.
