I would hate to be the poor fella who unpacked all his stuff, got it all set up, and was told to move.
I just can't think of anything scarier. Hopefully, it's all marked well enough to avoid all that so people are not overly inconvenienced.
The difficulty is not in being in or out of the vendor area-it's bring int he wrong spot within the vendor area.
The old field was easy-"you vendors go over there, take however much space you need (within reason)."
But the new field, with paid power/water spots creates a problem. If you have 7 or 8 people rent spaces, but 100 other people (vendors) show up before them, you somehow have to keep the 100 out of the 7-8 spots.
On top of this, there's no way of knowing how much room each vendor needs-I've always tried to make the rally as open ended as possible-if you need a 20'x20' spot, go for it..... 200'x200'? go for it. As long as we had the space, i wasn't going to restrict or limit peoples options.
The new area has plenty of room to continue this-but we have to make sure the people who paid for power/water spots get what they need.
I am sure it will all work out.
