Congrats on being one of the first ones to post a video about Barbarian weekend, which I fully intent on attending next year (why I came to this video). As a veteran of large scale festivals , events and conventions I can say of you plan on doing anything large scale that $12-25 is the normal pricing for food items. Be thankful when you go to places where there is re-entry as if you ever decide to go to a large scale music festival you aren't allowed to enter and if you get to hungry you have to a $20 burrito. Also when it comes to large scale events scheduling becomes an art. As there will be sure to be many things that catch your interest. This becomes a bigger problem at larger events which multiple stages and things going on where you may have multiple things you want to do overlapping or going on at the same time and separate locations. Lastly your wait to get out wasn't that bad . TRF is the largest Ren Fair in the world, and Barbarian weekend is the most attended weekend so large events will usually have at least 1-2 hour exit times if not longer. Most places that have preferred/vip parking usually have a designated exit for them so that they can get out easier. I avoid those by using shuttles if available seeing if I can afford the closest accommodations or camping if its available.
