Thinking of your UV goods entrepreneurship, there's perhaps a market for hiring a minibus. Leave a little earlier (always good practice to avoid cloak lines), using it to dump your mates off somewhere, then returning to ferry other partygoers around.
Thinking back to Friday night we tried to get six people into an MPV taxi, the driver wanted double the fare of the four-person taxi carrying the other "half" of our crew. Apparently this is pretty much standard. So a minibus could easily result in big bank. I am definitely considering doing something like this next year at Bristol's Ashton Ct Fest especially since there is a defined start and endpoint.

I can barely keep both eyes pointing in the same direction, or indeed any one direction for more than a tenth of a second.
The same goes for leaving early - I don't know anyone who would be able to leave early. As it was we stuck around in the bright halls willing the music to continue. Nobody wants to leave ever, let alone early!
Ashton Court, on the other hand, would be fine - definite start and endpoint, limitless customers and, at least on Sunday night, it wouldn't be hard to find someone up to the job of driving people round.
