70 for 6 sessions is high?
Thats less than 12 bucks a session!!
Paul Brady is headlining sunday night. I saw him in New York City and
paid 55.00 to see him play for 90 mins. (gladly).
Add Sarah Harmer, The good lovelies, The Barra MacNeils, Johnny Moynihan
and a load of the top local artists including Sean McCann, The
Dardanelles, Ennis to name only a few. I'd day 70.00 is about a 1.50 an
act. Winnipeg folk fest (although bigger) runs about 200.00 for a pass.

Good point. But to each their own. I personally wouldn't pay to see any of
those live.

I paid $55 including $5 service fee for an early bird
members weekend pass.

Also it is 5 sessions, not 6.

Also it is $75 including a service fee. But you would pay more
than that for a day pass at many festivals.

Prices have gone up in recent years but they are now
booking more acts from away than they used to, though
there are still lots of good local acts.

If you don't want to pay to get in, in future years
you could volunteer for two sessions and get in to
the other three sessions for free.
