| I'm pretty sure that Gary (picman) has to pay to be there though. Not sure how much, but its a few hundred quid I think??
Can anyone who has a press pass (no offence intended) turn up, take pics and covertly try to sell these to punters, without the need to pay for the pitch (as it were) - not sure how true this is, but seems logical to me. This is without any great overheads or "fees" - maybe?
Guy - if you were to setup with PC on site, would you have to pay this "fee" too? If you're adding a couple of hundred quid (estimated) to your day's expenses, its gonna require a lot more pics to be sold I reckon.
I'm not sure if my thoughts stack up, but there must be a lot more costs (and investments) to a set up like Gary's in order to make some money in the long term.
