Pages (5): « 1 2 [3] 4 5 »

PRICEY? no way.

Look at the talent and the venue that will bring you into the new year. 100 bucks is pretty much how much it would cost anyways at any other venue in the city that won't be open as late as Sonic, nor have the talent, nor be open for 2 nights. I mean, I don't have money to throw away or anything. I'm no rich bitch, but come on, 100 bucks for two nights of greatness. I think it's totally worth it. I'm getting my tix ASAP. 40more days and 40more nights to go.

Not to mention, you still have the option of buying seperately if you want to go to just one of the nights. $75 on NYE isn't much considering you will have to pay $60 just to go to a regular venue on Richmond to hear a wedding dj play top 40.

I also think this is pretty pricey. I don't see the justification in charging $60 for the second night.

It's not NYE anymore, so the acceptability of ultra-high prices no longer applies IMO. Also, NYD or not, it's still a weekday party, and I thought weekday parties were supposed to be cheaper than regular nights.

Even with the differences in previous years' line up considered, there is still quite a price jump from the past 2 years (ie the ratio of value to price).

So the wristbands will be available through ticketbreak or do we need to contact someone else for those of us living in the US?

Danka!

I will look into this for you.....

I am pretty sure it will be arranged for you to order them online, then pick them up directly from the club. Will have an answer shortly.

i think thats a little too much $$$

75$ a person damn ...


decadence was 60$ and that was like 20 djs

this is 75$ and only 2 djs

Sorry, slight mistake on the pricing for NYD. The actual price on NYD is $55.00

You actually purchase a ticket through ticketbreak.com (or any of the ticket outlets) and receive your bracelets at the club when you arrive.

We expected that this was going to be an issue with some people. Fact of the matter is that prices are based on the clubs overhead coupled with capacity.

Comparing this to Decadence is pointless because DJ fees over New Years double, and in some cases triple on nights like NYE. As floorwhore pointed out, any club on Richmond Street will cost somewhere in the range of $60 on NYE, and clubs on King Street West will average around $80. None of those clubs spend money on international talent and they are only open for 6 hours. Try to imagine the cost of security, bar tenders, bar backs, cleaning staff, coat check operators, cashiers, and night managers for an event that takes place over 30+ hours...and just because the second half is on a weekday and takes place on NYD instead of NYE does not mean that we don't have to pay the staff double time. If you think $100 is expensive for two nights you should only try to imagine how much money we are investing into this event to makes sure that our customers have the best possible New Years experience.

Sure, we could have done local DJ's and charged $50 or $60 dollars like the rest of the clubs...but would you all be happy with that? Based on your comment above only noting that their are two DJ's on the NYE line up, you obviously over looked 4 very talented local DJ's. In the end, we are never going to make everyone happy. We only hope that on NYE you will all join us in a celebration which we have all worked very hard to put together and that follows suit to two very successful NYE's at 270 Spadina.

Oops, I never really thought about this. You're totally right. It makes a bit more sense now. Thanks for the clarification.

thanx for breaking it down. It is a good deal if you are going for both nights, but jus the NYE is a little steep but non the less i will try my best to show up and support your amazing club

I'm so sick and tired of people complaining how expensive SONIC is and how expensive these events are. You get what you pay for... PERIOD. It's like going to Holt Renfrew and expecting to buy a great suit for 200 bucks...it's not gona happen. If you want quality, you're gona be expected to pay the extra money. What I really like about SONIC is that when they do something, they do it right. It all boils down to how hungry a partier is to get quality sound, talent, venue, staff, and organization. Any true fan of these elements will pay a measly 100 bucks for 2 nights of greatness. Bring in the NewYear with some SONIC class, and without the riff raff that some un-mentioned venues will have.

totaly 100% agree ... it is expensive but you do get a better quality, vibe, music etc .... plus massive parties like celebration in montreal is like 125-150 bux a person and the capacity of that is liek 10 000-15 000+

How early should we be getting tickets for January first?!

I would definitely act as soon as they go on sale.
Last thing you want is to wait to long, and end up having to hope that there are some available at the door.

I'm still finalizing my plans...but I know New Years is a big deal, so I don't want to wait too long. Do you know when they'll go on sale?

HI JEFF! Happy to be spending New Years Day with you!

Oh, come off it buddy.

Regardless of anything you just said, we as potential customers have a right to complain about the price if we think it's too high. You make it sound like a crime that we're doing so. I've been to Sonic/Boa/270's NYE party, both nights for the past 2 years, and have attended the club many, many times. I would call myself a "true fan". That said, if I think it's pricey, I'm going to make it known.

!

Some people may find it pricey, but I think for NYE + NYD 100$ is a very reasonable price for the talent and quality of a club that sonic is. Hell I'm paying 100$ to go to a club in banff that is only open for 6 hours! Not looking forward to that at all.

I will be selling 2-Day tickets (bracelets) for $100 flat (no service fee's, etc.)

Please PM me, or email [email protected] to arrange pick up

Chus and Ceballos will be great no doubt - but honestly, I think i'm looking forward to Sean Miller + Timo Maas from 11pm-7am on NYE the most! Most under rated dj on the bill HAS to be Hector Romero though... this guy has yet to let me down.
