The use of the beach was not free for Sand Blast. The city charges a fee for the use of the area and depending on the number of guests the fee gets increased. The participants also have to buy a beach badge if they want to use the beach beyond the party. Weddings have to pay a fee, and so do all the other events that take place on the beach the boardwalk in the streets and also the parks. If anyone would like to look at the fee schedule I suggest you reach out to Tom Gilmour he would be able to provide that information. The event coordinator/promoter is also responsible to pay for Police/Fire/Ems and whatever services are needed from the city. Unless the event is hosted by the city the taxpayer does not pay a dime. Hope this sheds some light on concerns. Garrett Giberson, Employee and resident/tax payer of Asbury Park In a message dated 7/20/2010 5:11:07 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, dfsav...@yahoo.com writes:

You could have volunteered your time and effort in exchange for a free ticket to the events. Someone has to pay for marketing, insurance, dj's, sound system, entertainment, management etc... If you can't afford it, volunteer, but don't try to ruin it for everyone else. Some of us think the $60 ticket is a bargain compared to the $100 for the same event in the city. > > Those spaces are free 99% of the time.
