I'm sure the folks who run these festivals would love to hear your plans! As a long-time member of the Hukilau organizing community, I can promise you that they are trying to keep the costs as low as possible and that nobody is making tons of money off of these events.

The ticketing is another issue that all the organizers struggle with. Put everything on one ticket and the ticket price soars and people complain about paying for stuff that doesn't interest them. These events usually also have to find a way to balance the interests of those who travel for the event and the locals who want to come and go to the event throughout its run.

Feel free to contact the organizers of any of these events and ask them to list just a few of the literally thousands of issues and unexpected costs that come with organizing events such as these. I am sure they will give you an earful!
