It's very rare in the East to have a feast-inclusive fee. In fact, the
concept of making people pay for even the dayboard as part of the event
fee makes some Easterners foam at the mouth. *sigh* Tibor, for instance.
What you will see in event announcements is generally listings for off
board and on board costs. (feast exclusive and feast inclusive)....
