Could the Cuckoo Fair introduce an entrance fee?

The Fair is held in the centre of the village. There are numerous access points eg Tannery Bridge, The Bull, Trafalgar School side entrance, School Rails, Gravel Close, South Lane, rear of Memorial Gardens. We could close some of these off and setup entrance points at the others. However, they’d need to be manned and have wi-fi access setup (see below). It’s unclear how we’d cater for village residents who live in the village but outside the Fair as we doubt they’d want to pay an entrance fee! Also, members of the public could want to walk through the village or visit the co-op. That said 13,000* people at £10 a head would transform the finances. (* excludes the 5,000 who live in Downton).
