Say goodbye to food tickets at Trails West. Organizers have dumped the unpopular tickets and will allow customers to use cash with vendors. Trails West says it’s making the change for five reasons.

1. Food vendors don’t like food tickets

2. Customers don’t like having to stand in two lines before they can get their food

3. Vendors lose impulse buys

4. Eight years of food sales history provide a good idea what sales should be over the weekend

5. Organizers want everyone to make money and think this will increase the bottom line for vendors and Trails West.

If commissions to the festival come in as projected Trails West will continue with the cash policy. If not, the festival will reconsider the policy change.
