Actually, you aren't paying to play.  You're paying to have a place to
perform, to have tech support, to have an organization handle ticket sales,
general publicity, etc.  In return, you get a percentage of the ticket
sales.  At least, that's how the Minneapolis Fringe Festival works.
Compared to renting a performance space, hiring a tech crew, etc. it's not a
bad deal at all.  Have a look at the following link for the Minneapolis
Fringe Festival FAQ.  I think it will answer a lot of the general question.

I can't answer that one, but I have one unbreakable rule: Never pay to play.
