We should just have a dedicated TA booze-stash outside the entrance. We'll take turns guarding it and whenever someone wants a drink they just walk a few steps outside and down one
^ If it meant I could still bring booze and drink it I'd totally do that. 30 minute shifts or something, whatever.

rumour has it the extra booze revenue is to pay for the imminent deadmau5 booking. My suggestion is have Marko1234 pay for all our drinks
Wow it looks like Montreal is starting to go the no fun route that Toronto has been on for years. In a typical simplistic approach to a problem they take the easy way out.
If the problem is really with underage drinking then ID everyone who comes in and deny entry to anyone underage with booze. Or increase enforcement and make sure underage people can't purchase the booze in the first place.
If the problem is with people who are wasted (booze or drugs) then deal with those people. Kick them out, arrest them for public intoxication, or child endangerment.
Instead of making people responsible for themselves, dealing with the few bad apples it is simpler to change the rules and not allow BYOB. As many people have said I don't think this will change anything. Those who go to Piknic to get fucked up will still get fucked up (do more drugs, binge drink prior to getting in, hiding booze outside the fenced area).
My bigger fear is that after this year and they don't see a big improvement they will make Piknic alcohol free next year. Be warned Montreal you are going down a slippery slope on your way to becoming another NO FUN city like Toronto.
at least you have your five playoff-calibre sports teams.
Oh, wait a minute....

| Phrase plate de la semaine �Toute bonne chose a une fin!� Nouvelle politique concernant l'alcool AVIS AUX LECTEURS: C�urs sensibles s�abstenir ! La popularit� de notre �v�nement ne fait plus de doute, comme en font foi les 3000 � 5000 personnes qui se rassemblent tous les dimanches sous le Calder pour appr�cier la cr�me de la musique �lectronique montr�alaise et internationale. R�unir autant de gens comporte ses al�as et a des r�percussions que toute organisation professionnelle se doit de consid�rer dans le d�roulement s�curitaire de ses op�rations. Au fil des ans, nous vous avons ponctuellement mis en garde lorsqu�il y avait une recrudescence de comportements qui d�passaient les limites de l'acceptable. H�las, force est de constater que ce n�est jamais suffisant et qu�il faut recommencer ann�e apr�s ann�e. Les conclusions que nous avons tir�es de la saison 2009 du Piknic �lectronik militent en faveur d�une r�vision de notre politique quant � la tol�rance d�alcool provenant de l�ext�rieur du site. Et c�est pr�cis�ment dans cet esprit que nous avons d� trancher cette ann�e et mettre fin � une tradition du Piknic �lectronik. Personne n'aime devoir agir en pr�fet de discipline, mais quand le comportement excessif de certains, si minoritaires soient-ils, vient � g�cher le plaisir des autres et quand ces exc�s peuvent �ventuellement mener � tout ce qui est contraire � la philosophie du Piknic, nous devons agir de fa�on responsable. Par cons�quent, il ne sera d�sormais plus permis d�apporter sur le site du Piknic de l�alcool provenant de l�ext�rieur. Conscient que cette nouvelle politique fera des vagues et que certains nous pr�teront des vis�es mercantiles, le constat demeure le m�me : il nous faut agir. Nous ne pouvons pas nous permettre d'attendre que l�irr�parable se produise pour ensuite nous dire que nous aurions pu l��viter. Voil� pourquoi nous privil�gions cette action pr�ventive : pour consolider les assises de l��v�nement, pour assurer le confort et la s�curit� du public, et pour conserver nos bonnes relations avec les autorit�s. Nous sommes s�rs que les fid�les � que cette d�cision risque de d�cevoir � sauront malgr� tout comprendre notre position et la r�flexion qui a men� � cette d�cision. Comme le dit le vieil adage: mieux vaut pr�venir que gu�rir! Imaginez un �t� sans Piknic� Vos d�vou�s organisateurs |

Here is what one of the organisers said on Facebook:
Le point principal demeure que Piknic Electronik �tait en marge de la loi sur la r�gie des alcool en permettant aux gens d'apporter leur alcool lorsqu'il y a un permis de vente d'alcool. Aucun �v�nement au Quebec, maybe m�me au canada ne permettait une telle chose. M�me � la St-Jean au Parc Maisonneuve, au Jazz, festival d'�t�, name it, on ne peut pas apporter nos consommations...
They positioned it as a mesure to prevent abuse but the truth lies in the sentence above imo.
Good thing! Back to what is about, music,people,familly. The bad side, people will use drugs. Drugs users, it will be easier see them. Overeacted people, face reaction. Watchout crackheads!

they should re-introduce the $5 before 3PM rule to counterbalance this massive fail.

Change was inevitable but it will be normal that they reduce the price of alcohol if the change is not for more profits.
2$ dollar beers would solve the problem but they'll probably be at least $5....
i'm sure they will work something out that will make people some what happy. to me, this isn't the end of the world. and the people that organize piknic don't strike me as the kind that are in it for the money.
Stop dreaming about reducing cover & alcohol prices. It's over. Some asshole overused drugs and alcohol,they do the right thing for these stupid people. You can't bring your alcohol,they sale it , point. Bring juice, water, redbull. it's not that hard!
