The reason is that the people putting on the show or convention have to rent the facilities. So they charge an admission to help recoup that rental expense. And they charge the various vendors a booth rental fee.They have to do this to not only make their expenses back, but to also make a profit. They aren't doing this out of the goodness of their heart -- they're running a business, and need to show a profit if they are going to continue.</blockquote>
