Also, consider that people don't really get to clubs in Ibiza until 1am, and the party doesn't really get started until 2 or 2:30am. If parties now have to shut down at 6am, that doesn't leave very much prime-time. If this rule stays in place, it will probably take at least 1 full season for people to realize that clubs close earlier, and to start getting to clubs earlier.

6am is enough really

That's easy for you to say, you're not a junkie.

I looked into this a bit more, and there are a few things worth clarifying here:

quote:
And local authorities in Ibiza Town want to close the clubs between 6am and 6pm, putting an end to afternoon raves.

I heard about this a couple of months ago. The author of this article is making it sound like everyone in Ibiza Town wants this to happen, when in fact there have only been a couple of politicians that have recommended a 6am-6pm ban on clubbing. On the Ibiza Spotlight forum, there is a lot of skepticism that this will actually happen, even from people who live on the island and post the current political events on a regular basis.

quote:
The resort town of San Antonio, a mecca for clubbers at night, banned after-hours clubs some time ago. And now Sant Josep, home to clubs such as Space, DC10 and Bora Bora, is to do the same.

Classic sensationalist journalism here. This is referring to a different ban that has already been put into place (as far as I know), which is the 6am-noon ban (which IMO is completely reasonable). This ban shouldn't really affect DC10 or Bora Bora at all since neither of them really get going until late afternoon anyway.

So don't fret yet. So far, it looks like the 6am-noon ban is in place, with the unlikely possibility of a 6am-6pm ban.

For those interested in the future of DC-10:

From the Ibiza Sun (translated in a post from www.ibiza-spotlight.com)

DC-10 Fears
The mayor of San Jose, Josep Mari Ribas, confirmed on Thursday his administration still had two cases pending against the club DC-10. Both concerned the overcrowding of the bar that can only officially allow 60 people inside. He said the situation could not be allowed to continue as it had been, and the bar would have to try and increase the maximum occupancy allowed, an increase he saw as "extremely difficult" due to the bar's location. It is inside the ses Salinas Natural Park, and Ribas confirmed it would be legally impossible to increase the capacity.
The bar will, from this year, have to obey new opening hours brought in by the Town Hall which will ensure it cannot open until 12p.m.
When asked if the current cases could result in the closure of the bar, Ribas confirmed it was not out of the question. However, even if the bar was to escape this threatened closure, its long term future is very much in doubt.

im glad I got to go once and experience things before all this bullshit came up. as it stands now I dont have much desire to go back (too much bullshit to deal with) and IMO i can have just as much fun (if not more) for a fraction of the price in alot of other spots.

meh
