		Ashton Court is an event beloved by much of the city, so it's not surprising to see passion aroused by the event.
		Compare this to the report by FilmBUZZ on film festivals where the sponsorship generated is on average greater than the 59% Ashton Court plans to take from tickets; "Festivals make the bulk of their income from corporate cash sponsorships.
		With a mean of nearly $100,000 annually per festival, the average total corporate sponsorship cash commitment is more than $40,000 higher than ticket sale proceeds, the second highest revenue source." For a minority cost of the event, Orange has managed to re-brand the name of the event and its decor in their image.

		The Comedy Tent at Ashton Court Community Festival every July has some great acts, many of whom have a very good gig.
		He limps along gamely until the introduction of bottles, cans and glasses to the stage by an uncannily accurate team of crack shots brings his act to a rather unfortunate end.
		Unfortunate in particular for the next act, who can be seen pacing at the side of the stage wondering why the hell he agreed to contribute to this Community Festival where there lies real risk of physical injury from a crowd now baying for blood.
