PvD and Tiesto in Edmonton or Calgary possible?

I've been hearing lately that United is expected to be bringing PvD AND Tiesto to either Edmonton or Calgary for the same event.
Is this even possible?
I have my doubts for certain reasons but who knows. it could be possible.

my reasons
1. if it were held in edmonton > the rave bylaw would screw things up would it not? Edmonton only can hold 18+ events now-a-days cant they? So this means they lose money.

2. if held in Calgary, what venue could be used to hold enough people. A Maxbell OR a Sun Center venue is big, but I do not believe it'll be big enough to hold enough people for this event.

3. If they did come, wouldnt they need say... around 10,000 people to break even? I read somewhere a long time ago that when Tiesto came for Magik, the promoters barely broke even.

4. Would a party with Tiesto AND PVD be even smart in Alberta?
A party alone with PvD would sell out alone, why would they need Tiesto?

5. Will the promoters have enough funding for such a massive event? With the by-laws in effect, its tough to hold massives in AB.

What does everyone think?
IF it did happen, that would be an insane party and I'd definitly be there.

fuck tiesto, give me pvd at a massive and I'd be in heaven, I doubt this will happen as a massive though getting those two djs for a weekend date? maybe a club event during the week but that doesnt seem likely either as it would be a lot smarter to do 2 seperate shows

A party was announced at Judge Jules, but I'm going to let the promoters tell you about it. You're just going to have to wait.

i'll check into my sources tomorrow.. but i think it might be two separate clubnights

I dont think they can have raves anymore in edmonton due to the outrageous costs. United tried that in october and did not work

If its a club show it would be stupid to have them both, each one has enough drawing power to pack the club alone

Tiesto once said that a show with him and PvD is highly unlikely
because:
not that he doesnt like him
but what sounds better ?
i mean if PvD and Tiesto play the same show, its gonna be packed
but if Tiesto and PvD play on different nights
u have 2 packed nights instead of one, doubling the profits
so, no normanl promoter would do that
unless its like Gatecrasher or something
