The effect of Financial Crisis on Trance scene!
What do you think is the effect of current Financial Crisis (thanks to Bush) on the local trance scene in your area? No matter which part of the world you are, you are in miserable financial condition, you are poorer than ever, we all know that. So are you going to pubs less? Less concerts? Did the price of tickets for Tiesto concerts selling in discount in your part of the world?
Share it all here.
I never really have to pay to get in anywhere I go so it hasn't affected me at all.

glowsticks are "buy 3 get 1 free" at Spencer Gift Shop.
Trance-Energy 2009 was sold out two weeks before (30.000).
51.000 tickets were sold in one day for Pinkpop 2009. A new record.
So that doesn't seem to be affected by the crisis.

i have noticed attendance at all clubs is down, in my area anyway. not just techno but hip hop as well. i predict the rave scene will make a come back and music will go back to the grassroots operations of the old days. people will start to throw more illegal parties out in the woods or on a secluded beach. there will be less shallow commercialism in dance music.

| Originally posted by Zombie0729 well no hard data will be made available until July but the restaurant/tourism/nightlife scene has been drastically hurt. We dont' know how it compares to previous years but they think there has been over 75% decline in venues (both operational and pending opening) compared to previous years. |

if anything the financial crisis should raise the attendence to clubs and raves.
Jesus Christ, now Bush is to blame for the recession and the downfall of trance? 
What happened to just blaming Ferry/Armin/Tiesto?
there is scientific proof that in our western world the amount of money we have/deal with is much much higher than what we would need to be happy. there is no natural saturation of wealth (as it is for example with a happy mother of 6 children, she'll perhaps find it's "enough" now) so all we want is to get richer and richer, way above the range where it could directly affect our happiness. now it becomes clear that the financial crisis is mostly a psychological one. a banker who loses 3 mio $/� of his 7 mio $/� deposit WONT have long term losings in his happiness, only short time panic. the "crisis" really doesnt affect us that much, except for the small percentage of workers whose job is at stake. so there probably is no effect on the partying scene as there is little effect on our daily life, much less effect than the yellow press wants us to believe
1. Bush wasn't the only reason this is happening.
2. Wait about six more months to see real changes.

I live in a mountain resort town. Recession combined with bad snow mean tourism is waaay down and and many youths just looking for service jobs have lost their jobs or just can't find work at all. I lost my job and it took me 25 days to find another one which s weird for this town, when last season it seemed like every business could use someone.
When the locals get less hours they don't go out and party.... though the last 2 nights I've been out at packed (small) clubs. Me and my roommate were just hitchhiking home 15 mins ago at 3am when a rad cab driver took us almost all the way home for free just to be a nice guy. I guess locals still find cheap fun on weekdays.

Restaurants in my area seem to be experiencing a bit of a loss, although chain restaurants remain more popular than ever. Clubs/bars still remain crowded as ever on weekends, especially the ones with low cover charges... guess you can't stop people from going out.
financial crisis = depression = more drugs = more raves
amidoinitrite?
Its an interesting point.
I would assume that the majority of clubbers are young people with a fairly high disposable income (no houses, cars etc..) Maybe a bit generalistic, but I still think this is a key factor, so therefore I think clubs will still remain healthy..
Personally for me, me and my mates have stopped going out into the big cities, and generally stopped going out and to be honest its been a blessing in disguise, we're now spending much more time doing pro active things such as football and pub lunch on the wkends rather than just getting smashed and feeling shit all wkend.
