Digium bought Sokol who previously produced Astricon, but Digium is not a show producer so they made some kind of deal with Pulvermedia to produce the show. Producing a show is not simple and is rather expensive. You would probably be surprised to know how much a show like this costs to produce.
The costs from first hand knowledge are more than the $150k that someone calculated above as potential income.
Not only that many of the participants get free passes, for numerous reasons.
A big chunk of income are the sponsorships, which is one of the reasons to bring in a professional producer, they bring in the
big sponsors.
In any case I would assume that if Pulvermedia does go under (which I hope not) Digium will find another company to partner with,
though that may not save this years show.
Just my 2 cents...

I could be wrong, but Pulvermedia has NOTHING to do with Astricon. Digium runs the show.

Um, Pulver Media owns Astricon, now, no? I suspect we all might have an interest...
