We did something similar, accept we left the pipes empty,
gluing a female adapter on to the top end. These were
finished off with male screw in plugs that were drilled for
the eye bolts. After getting to the location these were
then filled with either sand or water. This was dumped out
at the end of the show. With this arrangement we don't have
to carry the weight of the ballast around from location to
location.

Seal a cap onto one end of the pipe using PVC glue, then fill the pipe with concrete and sink a large eye bolt (including nut) into the concrete at the other end before it sets up. When the concrete matures, you've got compact, easy to carry anchors that can be tied easily to your frame, or even quickly snapped onto a line and hook system you've incorporated into your frame.
