    If you’re planning a festival with thousands of people why not provide life giving water without charging 6 dollars?

    Or to put it in internet speak “why do anything when you can do something else?”

      Not sure where you live, but around here (Southern US) the festivals are required to provide free drinking water to everyone.

      What festivals aren’t providing water stations anymore?

      Most people just don’t look for the stations, or don’t want to wait in the longer line.

      Because you want to make profit off people who are too incompetent to bring their own water.

        That’s a given. The problem comes when you want to profit off people who would bring their own water, but you don’t let them.
