As with darkwood, our shire follows the same procedures, except that since 
most servers are from our group they do not pay for feast at all and 
entertainers pay full price if they are sitting at feast.

 for the entertainment.
 
 Attendant Royalty get free tickets (they are at head table and hold court

 comped; they pay full price like everyone else.  Sometimes, if there's a 
 tournament, two free feast tickets get thrown into the prize basket for the 
 winner, and he/she and partner get a seat at head table as well; that, too, 
 is determined by tradition of particular event and by the Autocrat's 
 decision.
 
 Anyway, that's how we do it in Darkwood.    My two cents.

Well, in our Barony, when you buy a ticket for a feast, you are buying a 
*seat.*  On that philosophy, all the folks who *sit* and eat pay full 
price.  All those who stand in the kitchen *the whole time* and cook pay 
nothing--they wear grubbies and don't bring feast gear or claim a chair in 
the hall.  (Of course they get fed; they also get chocolate, love and 
undying gratitude; and sometimes footrubs and breakfast in the morning.  No 
joke.)

Traditionally, servers pay half-price, and it's the Autocrat's decision 
whether to throw in half-price tickets in the bribe--- I mean, incentive, 
for the entertainment.

Attendant Royalty get free tickets (they are at head table and hold court 
between courses, which after all *is* work) but their entourage are never 
comped; they pay full price like everyone else.  Sometimes, if there's a 
tournament, two free feast tickets get thrown into the prize basket for the 
winner, and he/she and partner get a seat at head table as well; that, too, 
is determined by tradition of particular event and by the Autocrat's 
decision.

Anyway, that's how we do it in Darkwood.    My two cents.
