Its our belief that if we keep costs down at Common Ground, more people who want to come will be able to come. Especially families and students for whom big ticket costs can be prohibitive. Essentially the $30 (earlybird price- $40 after August 30th) ticket cost pays for the hire of the venue (hall, kitchen, and camping fields), the electricity, the hire of the toilets and the fuel for the fire show and jam sessions. Obviously there are a few other expenses here and there (hiring big Marquees and stuff to be prepared for the wet if it happens). No-one makes any money out of this, if we end up with slightly more than what the event costs, we put it into the next years budget.

It is our hope that this philosophy will engage Common Grounders with the idea that everyone contributes to make this happen - there are no superstar DJs - just positive folk building a beautiful creative environment together. So if you see something that you could help with, lend a hand, its a top way to meet people.
