Also as Mike41793 stated there are almost always ATM machines available at shows but sometimes they will charge a rather large fee for you to use them.
The reason they charge (and pay sales/income tax) is because there is a paper trail for that sale. There is no proof that any sale occurred with cash payments unless you demand a receipt.
