Not sure if this will work, but in order to have "color" could you provide a select number of free tickets to reenactors on a first come basis, or use some other criteria? Perhaps a contest or raffle to get them there - for a certain # of tickets? (the raffle would also raise a little $ that could go toward the price of the giveaway tkts.) Also, maybe do a cash bar? Is that unacceptable? That would cut your ticket cost. Also, I'm not sure about the band members getting free tkts for their guests -- is that what you had in mind? Or did you just mean a free ticket for the band member? The more I'm thinking this I DEFINITELY think a cash bar -- you could have non-alcoholic punch free. It's a good idea on many levels. Hope I didn't misunderstand you post too much!
