We use feast and site tokens respectively here too. We tend to make them
unique to the theme of the event or unique to the person making them.
They have been as simple as 2 different coloured roses to leather
pouches of differing colours or stone castings or even pewter. Making
them this unique lessens the odd  Joe trying to eat when they havent
paid. I have not seen this however as a problem in this Kingdom that I
know of, and it certainly has never happened to me to the best of my
knowledge.

Now having said that, I personally know of a couple of people that dont
pay for feast but eat anyway. One has a beggar persona and goes from
table to table begging scraps from Feasters and, if anything, adds to
the atmosphere (he does his persona very very well). The other is
actually a Peer of our Realm who, while supper isnt their main meal of
the day, flits from table to table socializing with all and sundry
during feast, nibbling on the generosity of each table.

While I do not have a problem with the first example, I suppose the
second kind of irks me a little personally, but appears to not irk
others. So if it isnt a problem for the majority I dont have one either.
This Gentle is a friend of mine and I have discussed this with him on
occasion but it seems to be accepted here. If this was to become a
normal proactice for several people though I suspect it would be
addressed then.

Changing the tokens for each event has a twofold benefit. Obviously the
first one pratically ensures no one is sitting feast that didnt pay (we
wear our tokens here) and the second gives our Artisans yet another
chance to show off a little. I indeed have some kickass tokens (and
leather pouches) to admire and wear. I LOVE useful site tokens.
