if that's the entrance fee the stand prices will be worse, traders need to make a living, so don't think they will be many bargains, unlike the old fairs, when you could really get a good deal,

There are deals to be had, plus you get to try before you buy, internet shopping is ok but can't beat getting your hands on stuff before you part with coin
