Economy WMC

Do u think the economy well effect WMC ? .


Posted by gypsygirl on Dec-03-2008 22:18:

it did last year


Posted by rudeflame on Dec-03-2008 22:28:

prices in drugs will be at an all time low


Posted by epdarks on Dec-03-2008 22:39:

Hopefully club owners are hurting as much as we are and keep entry/drink prices low.

How are the hotel prices in comparison to last year?

Flights should be cheaper.

IMO there's no doubt WMC will be hurt by the economy, considering that everything is being effected by the economy.

LIV is the exception to the rule.

Higher, really?

Maybe Tiesto will charge 50 bucks instead of $100 @ Mansion !

Never underestimate the spending capacity of sobe. I predict prices will be as outrageous as usual.

Agreed. I don't see the area really conforming to the circumstances of today's struggling economy, especially during WMC. If anything, businesses could see this week as a way of "making up" for money lost during other times. They know people will be there regardless of the economic situation.

The hotel Im staying at is the same price this year as it was last year...


Posted by iclone on Dec-09-2008 04:43:

we had $13 shots saturday night.
south beach > the economy.


Posted by snatonsb on Dec-09-2008 18:15:

My general view is that WMC is going to be rocked by the downturn - I'm sure it won't appear that way on the surface but if you really crank down to the financials of these clubs compared to the past few years they are in for a serious beating.

On a second note, a few people pointed out that clubs/drinks/etc may be cheaper..I actually think the reduced demand is going to force club managers to re-think strategy (aka: these people flew all the way to Miami and we are trying to break even because of the awful year in the nightclub/bar industry, so let's just charge 10-20% higher because lets face it - they WILL pay).

I hope I'm wrong but you have to think about what you would do as a major decision maker with your clubs life possibly on the line this year.

There are one way flights from Grand Rapids Michigan to Orlando for $89 and I was thinking of taking the girlfriend to Disney or some shit because she has never been there or whatever. I want to ride some rollercoasters (not even that many in Orlando), and go to WMC.


Posted by drEamer on Dec-12-2008 03:14:

well lets hope that with the economy as bad as it is......we wont be sardines at every club we go to

Did you fail economics Chris? What happened to supply/demand. As club owners get more desperate, prices WILL go down. The big name Sobe clubs don't compete on price so I wouldn't expect them to adjust pricing, but the small venues will be promoting the shit out of drink specials, reduced cover charges, etc.... my theory anyway.

Are we still sleeping in your car bro?


Posted by MeLLyMeL on Dec-12-2008 04:59:

dan! i forgot you aren't in miami anymore!


shit then - can't wait to party with ya
