			Carers pay £10 to cover the cost of being on site, using our facilities, etc. They are not here to play the game, but to support someone else playing the game; depending on the person they're supporting, that might involve them being in character, or it might involve them only camping in the out-of-character field so they're nearby. In either case, they ''don't'' get a character pack or a downtime or any of the other trappings of ''playing'' Empire. If they want those, they need to buy a full ticket.
