Use the web, word of mouth, and see if local stores will let you put posters up.  Also, you can volunteer to be entertainment at charity or public events..that is good publicity.

For a more expensive event, excluding the ticket, I would spend around 50 ir 60 bucks.  At a local event maybe 30 or 40 depending on what it was.  I'm pretty cheap though.\n\nThe most I would spend on a ticket (assuming you mean rides at a fair) would be a dollar.  It depends on how many tickets you need to get into a ride.  No more than a dollar on a ticket though.  If the fair is general admission I would say 10 dollars.

Sure!  Try this.  I get a lot of my tickets off of craigslist.  Good gift by the way!

Well - where is your area?  A good idea is to check out costume websites, celtic music websites, etc.  If you've been to the renfair in Sterling, NY (a summer thing - http://sterlingfestival.com/renfest/ ) I'll bet a number of vendors there are willing to travel to various places.  A good idea might be to contact the people who run the more popular fairs and ask for advice - a friend of mine runs one in Vermont and I'm sure if she's any example people would be happy to answer your questions.

If you are serious find your market's trade association and plan on exhibiting at their annual and local shows.  This is where the buyers come in and find out about new products.  It costs a little but you can't find a better place to get your product in front of the buyers at one place.

well since you said cheap it makes things a bit difficult.. But i guess you could go to the art museum or  the science center or to the city museum. All are indoors in case the weather is bad.

I live in Vegas and model at trade shows, so I have a weird collection of promotional items that are given away. This year at SEMA, Mopar gave away pilsner glasses and they had some pretty girls manning the kegs and handing them out. XM gave away really nice pens. A food company I worked for did a drawing and give away of nice items (golf bags, clocks, towels, umbrellas) every so often during the day and kept a steady crowd in their booth. Best one so far was a company that gave away their t-shirts and had us scan the crowd for people wearing the shirt and awarded a cash prize to people seen wearing it at the convention. It only took a second for the crowd to find out money was being given away and people were rushing to our booth. Good Luck

Go to Cristy Sports or King Soopers; they usually offer discount tickets.

Call your local cable company. Some have a channel that advertises events in the area and they may let a non-profit or charity advertise for free. I volunteer with a non-profit organization and the local cable company let us have a space for free. Call your local radio stations and see if they will do a "spot" for you. Call the local T.V. news station and tell them about your event and what charity it is for and they may promote it for you during the news report. I hope this gives you some ideas.
