Without even being in any of the previous events, I thought I'd share my view anyway. In my opinion, the format of the show as it was this year is pretty dead and uninteresting.

Watched from afar it seems to focus around three things: 1) people 2) the concert and 3) beer. Now, the third one I can get anywhere and the second one is IMHO a just nice-to-have feature with the main point being meeting people. I know this year most of the people I know that went there went almost solely for the people, not the concert.

So, how blashphemous it might be, I think the concert could be cut or arranged with less heavy setup. Instead of that the content could be more interactive and diverse in focus. Remix competition with target tune announced three days before the event. On-site collaboration with less-than-hifi stage, stuff like that. I suppose something like that was in Brighton, at least judging by the pictures, right?

As for the venue, could a venue without alcohol serving permit be cheaper? I know the drinks cut some of the other costs, but anyway. That would open up new possibilities for the venue.

The feel I'm aiming here is something like the early copy parties with people gathering to have fun and share stuff - not to just drink beer (although that has been known to happen in demo parties too;) and sit idle while watching same bands every year.

Anyway, just my few cents on the issue.
