Watch out for the craft fair "pop-up" fee traps near Austin

I paid $45 for a booth at the Cedar Park market last Saturday and then got hit with a $30 "table rental" charge at check-in that was buried in the fine print, has anyone else run into this at other venues?

I saw a whole thread about this same kinda thing over on a local Facebook group a couple weeks back. Some lady was complaining about the Georgetown square market doing the same trick with "awning" fees that showed up after she paid for her spot. She said it ended up being an extra $40 for a plain white tent she coulda brought herself. Sounds like these pop-up events are getting sneaky with the add-ons, probably cause they know you're already loaded up with inventory and can't just walk away. At least now you know to ask for the full price list before handing over any cash, even the "final" one.
