When all this was going on @ parkwest, how was Space's line and stuff? I have not heard how the Yoshi party was.

Yoshitoshi party was ridiculous... sharam and dubfire tagged team w/ gervais filling in here and there for the entire 12-13 hrs i was at space... but onto the BS...

semi-big crowd at the gate @ space when I got there around 3:30-4. No one was going in, and I assumed it was the fire marshal ish like last year.. but people eventually were let in. This year, the bouncer was just standing there and taking bribes to who would pay... otherwise you weren't getting in. my 4 friends and I paid 100 for the 5 of us to get in, but I saw a couple pay 150. I couldn't drag myself from the main room until the end of deep dish's set, which ended around 8 in the main room.

Big mistake... same BS to get up to the terrace as the front door.. no one was going up unless you bribed them. I paid 30 bucks(i told the guy that's all I had... he reluctanlty let me up after an hour of following him around the club). But yeah, some poor dude and his gf paid 100 bucks to get up. Add that to the $120 door charge(my friend had a presale for 70 and they made her cough up another $50 in cash... ) and you have one expensive as shit night / day. But as far as value goes, it was worth it to some degree b/c deep dish especially spun a 12+ hour set, as opposed to the 200(and who knows what you paid to bribe to skip the line) for armada's crew

R U kidding me. What R U Oliver Stone with your conspiracy theories? It's a trance thing now? Lay off the meds buddy, this type of thing can and does happen at all types of events.

I went to TRANCE events on Thursday and Friday at Space which is owned by the same group, the club was packed as fuck each night and no one had any issues at all getting in. And no one has told me of any other type of bad experiences with not being allowed into trance events.

The only thing this was a "quick glimpse" of is the greed of some door people and what happens when a club sells out an event yet some door people decide to start letting people in the back door for kickbacks and payoffs of up to $200 instead of letting in ticket holders. The club does not have any conspiracy against trance. Otherwise they would not have booked the biggest trance acts at Space Thursday & Friday and at Parkwest Saturday.

I saw LP (Space/Parkwest owner) outside of Parkwest and he was visibly pissed off at some of the door people at Parkwest. Hopefully he fires everyone responsible, because the door people that did this probably pocketed the money they charged to sneak in people & LP will end up having to deal with a shitload of demands for refunds. And he probably will give refunds. In 2005 I saw him take out a wad of $100 bills and offer refunds to everyone that was pushing and complaining right there in the PVD line. Funny thing is no one took him up on the offer.

so who will be asking for refunds? myself and my two friends stood in line for about 2 hours and then said f this...ive never been involved in anything like that before

thats basically the reason I like buying presales, to guarantee entree into the club

sad i missed markus...im sure it was epic =(

Don't get me started about Parkwest!!!

Ok, so we pulled the big mistake of leaving Ultra to go home and change, and my friend got sick so we didn't end up going but we still had tickets so I went to go sell them (they were only good till 3am). I had already gotten a call from JD8180 about the line and all that crap and how he is selling his ticket cause they are not letting anyone in. I had friends inside saying it was not packed AT ALL and that the room where Jennifer Rene and Menno was empty. When I got to the door I asked how much tickets were going for and they said they didn't know yet and then they decided to put the cost at $300!!! Thats when they also started letting people in for free at the Ultra after party. Whatever, I hate Space with their crap! lol

there was plenty of room in the club....much like last year...sick party tho

Terrible

This was the worst party of the event. The venue sucked. Waited in line for 1.5 hours with pre-sale tix. Got in the venue, it was small. The music was not on point. Armin needs to be a SPACE not a a place like PARKWEST. The place sucked. What a waste of time. This palce will not survive. It will be something else next year. Should have went to SPACE>>>

The vibe was not there. Nothing to do with ARMIN. The palce sucked. Oh I said that already. THE PLACE SUCKED....

LOL!

Parkwest is SICK. LP did a great job with the club. The decor, sound, 2nd room, everything. Don't blame the club for the shitty DJ you saw.

Thursday night at Parkwest for Lawler was fucking epic.

Parkwest main room > Space main room... hands down.

I had my doubts when I first walked in to the place. Remy was playing, place looked tiny, crowd was just kind of standing around for the most part. All those thoughts, however, were put to rest once armin went on. The lights and sound and decor and crowd and music were ALL on point. The fact that the place was small is what ended up making this one of the best parties of conference. It was a very intimate venue to see armin and markus, and for most of the night there was not one person who was not completely into it. The vibe was most certainly awesome. At the height of the excitement, the so called vip area all but cleared out as people wanted to join the madness on the dance floor. I can see how a long wait outside might put one out of the right mindset for the evening, but the energy in that room was rediculous......

Markus for 5 hours FTW!!!

You really think Parkwest is a small venue?

The only bigger venues in Miami are Space, Mansion, Karu and Y, and maybe a couple I haven't seen.

Stupidist comment of the thread.


All I can say is we got there@ 10 and they started letting people in right before 11. Had no problems getting in. Sound is the same as at Space so no complaints there. Those that say the venue was too small, "The size of the venue was irrelivant since it wasnt packed to capacity because of the latecommers". Those that didnt get in or had to buy over-priced tickets have no one but themselves to blame for not planning early or better. Next time get there by 11 to avoid bullshit like this that is sure to happen every year. Ill bet if you dig up an old thread from last year, you will see that people had the same issues then as now. Learn from it and show up early and buy tickets atleast a month in advance.

i see where you are coming from deadly as far as getting there on time and all that shit...but when i buy presale tickets to an event and i want to go to other parties (because thats what wmc is all about, party hopping) i feel like i should be able to get into a club without having to bribe bouncers

but maybe im just dumb and dont know how shit should be handled

and i agree that the comment refering to miami hating on trance is ridiculous...thats just dumb...it seems like this was just bouncers being greedy and taking money at the door because they could

Terrible. We all had tickets, got there around 12:30 and didnt get into toe main room until well after Markus came on... abotu 4:30AM

WHAT THE FUCK

you're right... what parkwest did was perfectly fair, it was our fault it ended up like this. how dare us not showing up 2 hours pre opening of the club.

pretty sure i was standing next to u for a bit....early in the night....was with a few asian girls.....

one of the girls with us didnt have a ticket and decided she wanted to go to the armada party, so we left ultra at about 11:15....dropped her at the door and we went to the car to change.......door tickets at that point were going for 120......line was about 10 deep.....someone ended up selling her a ticket for 75 bucks and we were in like flynn.....especially since the head door guy thought i played for the Packers!! LOL......epic....

looks like Parkwest was pretty desperate at WMC. I had heard they might be closing it down but never heard why.

quote:

Well this isn't exactly breaking news, but everyone knows Louis Puig and Parkwest fell into some hot water with the city of Miami after it was discovered that the venue was operating without a liquor license. Allegedly the operators of the club presumed that Space and Parkwest were one building, therefore only one license was necessary. It seemed that city bureaucracy was keeping Parkwest managers and employees guessing as to whether they would be open for Conference, there was even talk of moving all the events to the former Life Downtown venue -- which opened during WMC as the new venue 90 Degrees. Alas, at the last minute when it seem they were being punished for their oversight, a liquor license was obtained and WMC went off without a hitch, much to the relief of absolutely everyone involved.

I bought 3 tickets for the Yoshitoshi event at Space, and was never allowed in. We got there at 2 and yea its kinda late, but I bought the all night ticket and that didn't matter. I just e-mailed them for a refund and if they do not do that, I'm doing a charge back on my card.

Some pf you people need to look up building regulations and fire codes. Park west was at capacity for the LEGAL allowed amount of people was alloowed in there at once. Every venue Over sells the club out. because it will hold more than that, its just not the legal limit. Say Parkwest legal limit was 450 people then you can probably fit 1100 people in there. now for some reason the fire marshall showed up and did not allow them to exceed the LEGAL limit.

Its not exactly Park west fault the fire marshall showed up here and did this as every club in miami over sells the club to make more money. it just so happened that park west took the raping that night.

yes some of you may have lost out on your presale tickets. you should be refunded by want tickets or groovetickets or so on. some things are out of our control and the clubs control.
