I agree with some element of "user pays" for policing, but not the entire amount – perhaps 30%. If you take this principle too far, then drinking on a Saturday evening in town should be paid for etc.

I went to Jersey Live this year (fantastic event) and felt that it was probably over policed – part of the fun of festivals is their "edginess" and slight "decadence" - safety yes, but perhaps turn a blind eye to some things.

Regards
