Although I don't know that it has to be unofficial - just do a scaled down smaller low cost type of event once that has almost no cost and see what event attendance is like for that versus your regular events and publicize it as much as you publicize others or even more.  If event attendance is low I'm wrong.  If it's high I'm right.

Or, the event may succeed or fail based on a set of circumstances totally beyond the control of the event staff; weather, holiday traffic, competition from another, well-established and popular event with an air-conditioned hall, Royal Progress, etc. etc.  While site fee may be a major determining factor for you, that doesn't mean it is for everyone.
