Originally posted by DjCommisad i'm a bit disappointed. I'm not saying TAs should get special premiums or special priveleges, but we waited for the post to say when tickets were going to be available, we were told to wait and not harass the locations, and then we find out days after they are sold out, that they're sold out, and anything left will be twice what we were told the starting price would be

Honestly Greg I really DO think we, as TA's, SHOULD get special priviledges and premiums!

I've been apart of this community for 4 years now, and in that time I've seen this site gaining recognition for it's contribution to the trance community, even sponsoring events such as the World Electronic Music Festival. Where events like that may not happen because of our help.

Just because Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, wherever! is not considered one of the "more happenin" places to party, here still lies the same people who are a part of the same community as those from Toronto, or New York, in Europe and all the way to Australia.

TA's have always been known to be one of the elitest when it comes to trance and our knowledge about it, and it should be about time that the WESTERN CANADA forums start getting recognized for our contribution



If *prays* I get to see Paul Van Dyk for the 1ST time in 5 YEARS, and find out that the community I so strongly believe in is no longer a reliable source, I will have no choice but to point the finger at someone...

and you can guess who that finger would point to, and which finger it would be

btw, totally down with your plan too

and one more thing.... sorry, but it pisses me off that one, if not more, of Greg's tracks are on PVD's playlist and the guys still gotta pay to get in. Where's the respect?

dude, where did u hear this? i contacted his manager and he says he's never heard of us and he has no knowledge paul has ever played any of our tracks. but some website in australia said the same thing, that he dropped 'the way'.

i'm sure some djs might play icone remix of the way tho! it's really good imho.

I'm sure this is it

You guys talk as though TA's should be getting red carpet.

They were on sale on Clubvibes for almost 3 weeks.

and to the best of my knowledge, Clubvibes had about 400 tickets if not more.

last night around 10 pm..

What have you done for the scene in Vancouver, please enlighten us on how you are diffrent from anyone else who attends events in our city.

That's funny how you consider yourself such a big part of the Vancouver 'trance' community. I recall seeing you at Viva once in 3+ years, near the very tail end of things to be exact. Never have you shown support to my night or any of the local trance djs in this city. Come out for all the big names, you deserve a medal! By all means, keep up the great work

How does your so called knowledge of music give you any more right to be at a party that anyone else? Again, please enlighten me as to why you think you're so fucking special. Recognized for what?

I can apreciate that your upset you don't have a ticket, but stop acting like a CHILD. I'm sure they'll be an explanation as to why Kraig forgot to make a post on TA, he's very busy with his job and personal life, and it was probably an honest mistake that he forgot to post the info here. I'm sure he'll do his best to make things up to the TA's and explain things when he comes on this forum.

its 1am-ish. $35 is more than reasonable (considering PVD probably costs an arm and leg to book). but out of stock.

right now yes,this was 24 hours ago(sorry about the timing) last night...they still had tickets..like 24 hours ago...and i remember i needed 5,but i could only place an order for 4
bottom line i think tickets where not that tough to get..when u could still find some yesterday!

i was reading thru fnk today and someone there raised a good point about trusting clubvibes with your credit card info. i got scammed couple of months ago, my suspicion is audiojelly, but im not sure how whoever got my master card number. anyways, i wouldnt trust clubvibes. i was waiting for tickets to hit the stores and get one there.

as for TAs getting special treatment, i agree, but it would only make sense if TAs were organizing an event. if its someone who has no affiliation to us, why would they care about us? when there will be 100 van TA members, it'd make sense, but at the moment, we do not make up the bulk of the party goers, all we are are a dozen or so of know-it-all arrogant punks

well u r right with the credit card thing

i did not place my order cause u could not see the lock icon show up (when u wanted to go thru with ur order)..anywhere on my browser,u cant trust the ones that seem secure...let alone the ones that have no secure sign on them
but i just hope people that have xtra tix would help others that r left out in the cold
clubvibes office is on davie street i believe,guess tix could be bought at their location as well

Originally posted by apri_peel plush DOES hold 1000 people tiesto took weeks to sell out and tickets went on sale over a month before the show, a few times even 2-3 months. this is not cool on part of twisted. i refuse to pay more $50 as the original price was supposed to be $25. the sad thing is that there's gonna be a lot of people who will be willing to pay $100, cant even boycott the party, which i think TAs should do cause this is quite retarded if you ask me. i am not happy at all

Excuse me for being blunt, but am I the only one who realized that with tickets to a PVD show starting at $25 that there would be A LOT of scalpers looking to make a quick profit on this show? You seem quick to blame the promotions company and I find it strange that you would insinuate that a company like Twisted would attempt to rip people off by releasing fewer tickets in advance of the show. Additionally, the Tiesto shows you are referring to are at the Commodore which has a bigger capacity, correct me if I'm wrong. Additionally, he has been here, at least on a yearly basis. When was the last time PVD was in Vancouver? Lastly, of course its selling out faster than Tiesto, its PVD! This guy can spin rings around Tiesto!

In short, Elena, (and I mean no disrespect, you're a very nice person) instead of wasting time pointing fingers at Twisted or Plush or whoever in frustration, try contacting Kraig or somebody else knowledgable about where you might find some reasonably priced tickets.

I'm not trying to rip anybody apart and the above is just my opinion, but it frustrates me to no end when people complain about everything with regards to clubnights like this. First people whine because their favorite DJ isn't coming to town. Then they whine because the venue the DJ is playing at happens to be Plush. Then its complaints about ticket prices being too steep for a clubnight. Now, people are basically complaining because tickets are sold out earlier because they're so cheap... What did you people expect???

/rant

I think what people failed to grasp is the fact that this is a PLUSH and twisted show.
Hence I will put PLUSH in front of twisted.

I would have assumed there was a limit of how many tickets you can buy..like 4 per person. A promoter allowing someone to buy 23 tickets is enabling a scalper to make money off their event. If I was Plush and/or Twisted, I would be more aware over the possibility of lost revenue. Money that has effectively left their pocket for the hands of someone who has no risk associated with the event. Maybe a learning for next time.

Holy sheat� lots of activity in this thread since I last posted.

My apologies for not looking here daily as the combination of working full time during the day and then Twisted stuff on top of that keeps me busy.

Let me first highlight a few things:

1.) This show is both a Plush AND Twisted show� from DAY ONE I have said that in all of my posts and in all cases, put Plush BEFORE Twisted in the billings. Having said that, Twisted just one promoter involved in ultimately selling tickets and promoting the show. So� what does that mean, well it means Plush had COMPLETE control of the number of tickets released. In fact, the delay in releasing tickets out to Vancouver stores was Plush�s in getting these tickets printed NOT TWISTED�s. To further, we don�t even have control over ticket pricing, sound and even lighting of this show. Twisted is simply assisting with the promotion of this PvD show.

2.) 400 pre-sale tickets were released to Clubvibes. This literally sold out in a week�s time. After that point, 50 tickets were then released to each store all of which un-predictably sold out in record time. Why? Although Twisted had asked for there to be a limit to the amount of tickets sold to each person, it is difficult for the stores to police this. As a result, the tickets in stores were purchased in bulk very quickly. This was further amplified by the fact PvD himself hasn�t been here in ages and people are extremely excited to see him.

3.) Learn to trust systems like Clubvibes. The reality is they are a legal, registered company with fiscal, financial and moral responsibilities to the public. If in anyway you are ripped off, you can report this activity to your credit card company and even the Better Business Bureau. Please do not bitch at us, if in your mind, you don�t trust Clubvibes.com as they were an exclusive ticket partner for this show� Again, Plush choose them to be this partner, not Twisted. Clubvibes is a business entity and is not just a bunch of punks running a PC in a garage. They are a legitimate business.

To those who were unable to get tickets due to the delay in getting them to stores, our apologies as again, that was beyond our control.

To all those that purchased tickets early, thank-you very much for your support and thanks for your continued support of Twisted and Twisted-related events.

dunno is this is true or not but clubvibes said they might have some more tix next week...so be sure to check clubvibes regularly!! If my 2 friends cannot make it back to Vancouver in time I might have 2 xtra tix...I pay $42.80 for each and I will sell it for the same price and a shot of tequila when I am inside kekeke!!

Whoa, DUDE, at no point do I make any reference to myself single handedly pushing the trance scene forward in Vancouver. Just because I've come to one of Your shows at Viva, doesn't make me any less benficial to the community.
I DON'T just come down to see the big names, I DON'T have the option to go to Viva every weekend, I DON'T even have the option to party every weekend, so DON'T take it out on me because I'm not "living" in the Vancouver. If I had my choice, I'd probably have been out to every one of your nights, because I appreciate the talent people like you have brought to town.... and appreciate it even more when I find out about it in enough time for people like me to have a chance to purchase tickets. I don't have a credit card to purchase online, I have to wait a week, or even 2, before I can roll into a record store and buy a ticket.

"OUR" trance knowledge does not give us any more reason to party more than anyone else, I'm simply stating the fact that Tranceaddict is not getting recognized for being 'so fucking special', when in fact we truly are looked at as strong trance supporters, as opposed to fnk where there is support for all genres of music.

I don't know why all the sudden you've put this personal attack on me, I never mentioned that "I" should be special, but rather TA as a community should be getting recognizied, alright!

Not everyone is as priviledged as you may think. Chill out man. I'm pissed about the fact that we... "WE"... have been let down, and it's time to start thinking about where loyalties lie, and we should not be left off that list.


I understand that Kraig may have forgot to inform us about the tickets, maybe he does have a job and personal life to think about, understandable... but I don't see why it's so hard to open more than 1 window and copy and paste to every site that needs to know.... and please, it's not a personal attack on Kraig either, it's a mistake he made, and we all have to live with it.

this is turning into a flamming thread heh

firstly, my appologies to kraig and twisted for not getting my facts straight. in my defense, people in this city are conditioned to know and thing that the promoter is behind every aspect of an event (including previous incidents of overselling a party and faking tickets. i'm not pointing fingers at anyone, we all know a number of promoters in vancouver have done this in the past )

as for commodore holding more people than plush, i believe both of their legal capacities are 1000 people.

i'm not saying i dont entirely trust clubvibes or clubzone but between them and me there's lots of other places information goes thru. audiojelly is a respected company, yet after buying some stuff from them i had some pretty weird charges on my card made in brazil. like naz said, even tho things may look secure, there's a chance they arent

Commodore holds 1200 I think

at the entrance there's a sign that says capacity: 999
there could be some loopholes around that of course

Okay let me explain something about capacity and politics to do with capacity. Technically the legal capacity of Plush is a little bit more than The Commodore. Does the Vancouver Police Department/Fire Marshal let them go over that capacity? Absolutely not� usually never unless the venue management and the police happen to be in really good terms/moods that night.

The Commodore is owned by an extremely large beer company therefore contributed a TON of revenue to the municipality of Vancouver and our government. As a result, the police tend to be a LOT more lenient on capacity. A great example of this, when we had Tall Paul at The Commodore, we had the highest attendance ever to walk through the doors there totally roughly 1400.

My point is that with capacity at any venue, you are at the mercy of the City of Vancouver and the Vancouver PD.

Thanks for the information but you missed one glaring point..see above. I know you're busy but you set the direction and do have some responsibility for not carrying through.

Granted I did not post ticket availability in stores (but I did say they were available online) here immediately. Tickets were still available from Clubvibes.com up until a few days ago though. My point is, tickets WERE still available period...

To further, I did post on both Clubvibes.com and FnK.ca that tickets were in stores before I had a chance to post it here on TA. My point is, the info was out there, unfortunately I just got delayed a couple of days in putting it on TA.
