Unfortunately, large groups of people (like at the Folk Festival) will attract a certain number of dills as well. An isolated incident such as this can’t really be prevented without significantly impinging on festival-goers freedoms and with a great amount of expense to the organisers (which drives cost of attendance up, etc).
