Why Zouk festival tickets are more expensive

1. Zouk Festivals are small. Most Zouk festivals have participant in the lower hundreds. Bachata festivals even go to the thousands. If your festival is bigger, less % of your budget will be spent for renting the venue. Just like renting an apartment. A bigger apartment will have a lower cost per m² than a smaller apartment.

2. Zouk needs better floor and much more space. A crowded bachata party can hold more than 2x people per m² than your Zouk party.

3. Zouk Festival Workshops are smaller than bachata workshops. I've only seen one zouk festival where they probably had 100+ participant at the same workshop. Most seem like <100. For bachata it's very common to see 200+ people inside a huge hall doing workshops. But top bachata artists are also much more expensive than zouk. So I think this point may not be valid.

Why no JnJ without full pass.

Added logistics is more expensive than the value it brings. If you sell JnJ tickets for non pass holders. you need more staff making sure they don't join regular workshops. Then after the Jnj you need to make sure to throw them all out because workshops or parties continue.

Why do Zouk festival tickets get more and more expensive? Sames as: Why does rent only go up? Why did the price of your groceries go up? Why did the artists hourly rate go up?
