However it’s not how the rules work. Out of all the craft shows run by TV, for the last 10 years or so only a handful of tables have not shown. When this happens, the table is removed. So empty spot is noticed.
Once a lady had to leave due to emergency at home, neighbor came took over.

One has to be picked in lottery, then vetted by the committee. You may bring a resident to help, but you can’t sell your spot. If you can’t attend, there is a waitlist. My neighbor was called the night before a craft show, to offer a table.

So definitely rules, about emergency issues. If you chose to “sell” a table like you are asking. Original resident may be banned from future craft shows, as will the person illegally buying their table.
