So Kevin has got his hand in this one too I see. Why can't a free music festival just be free?

The SoCo Fest is set as a donation, not a ticket cost. So if you don't want to pay...then don't!

California State Law does require that any event where there is liquor sold, must have a ticket cost with a value that is the same or higher than the cost of the liquor.

So having a requested donation rather than a ticket cost is actually a pretty sweet deal.
