I carefully avoid anything that spells "fair" with an E or a Y.

Cloudship, crowds of hundreds of thousands are NOT required :D

Unfortunately, this year I think they had them.

Great fair! Terrible Logistics!

ZoukOut in Singapore every year but only because of free entry and drinks.

Wagner Opera Festival in Bayreuth, Germany
 
For about one month each year (August) this festival is held. I've gone three times, 1972 was the last. Now it is extremely difficult to get tickets--7 year waiting list. For the one month the whole city revolves around the festival. The prices for food and hotels was NOT that high.
If you are "big" on Wagner Operas this is the place to go.:)

many festivals offer various levels of VIP packages to reduce level of discomfort

The civilized ones ;). I always go to Pesaro Rossini Opera Festival, each second year or so to Salzburg and Glyndebourne Opera Festivals.

The most important is to be well organized for food & beverage to avoid discomfort. Over the years I got the experience to organize everything from Champagne, the performance and the opulent dinner itself :D. No need for a VIP package there - just be organized.
