At our Baronial events, it is customary for the Autocrat and Feastcrat to
get in without paying the event fee.  Other freebies include the Royalty
(but not their entourage, we just had a go-round about that one) and
sometimes we have winners of something that are given free events for a
year or the like.  But other staff members all pay, as do significant
others of the Feast and Autocrat.  I am the one who really instituted the
no fee for the Feastcrat, I plain refused to pay for the priveledge of
working my butt off and taking time off of my mundane Chef's job to boot.
 I have insisted on this becoming a tradition, and we have stuck to it.

no longer a professional chef, but I did play one on TV!
