Way Too Much $$$$$

Im really gettin fucking sick of these ridiculous prices clubs are charging for big djs.... $40 $50 $60!!!!! its so disgusting... i mean, its DJs...they play records.. one after another!! some do it flawlessly and create journeys but it still aint worth no $50... back when twilo had S&D and PvD.. it was $35($30 w' guestlist..) and besides those 2 events, everyone else(Cox, Hawtin, Deep Dish etc..) was $25... im sorry for bitching but i think its just ridiculous paying $50+ to go clubbing.. i mean Underworld show, which they play LIVE(which is way harder to do.. if u been to a live electronica show, u know what i mean..) was $36.. and it had the best visuals\lighting, promotions, staff, crowd, vibe.. just everything was perfect...sorry if i sound retarded but its just the way i feel..after pvd, no more paying ridiculous amount of loot to go clubbing...(well at least for me..)

i gotta agree w/ u on that one....but honestly, it's only here that they charge sooooo damn much! ferry/tiesto and all other big names go for like 10/15 pounds over in london..(equivalent of like 20 bucks or so) so..it makes me wonder if it's the promoter/club owner ppl that are charging all that excess cuz it's so money-driven here as opposed to music-driven over in london. i mean...a plane ticket across the atlantic ain't that much more expensive...i dun really understand why the big name djs would charge that much more just cuz it's NYC or somethin'. so i'm putting my bet on the greedy owners and management people. my opinion only...

Yes I do remember the Twilo days but in NY PvD spins for around 6-7 hrs. Most other places it is 2-3. I think $40 for 6 hrs is better than $25 for 3 hours. You just gotta get em in advance.
Too bad I heard from "Visions of PvD" and made events that tickets are now $50 and at the door it will be $60. It is pure economics: demand exceeds supply = prices go up....which is why Sasha tix went down. For some reason not enough demand.

Has nothing to do with greed of owners, all of ya..
Obviously none of u passed economics in college, or didnt get there yet..
This is simple called market Calls.. Simple bell curve.. Demand meets need..
If tix were around $20, then U would have 10000000000 people trying to see PVD... and u have chaos...
They know TONS of people wanna see PVD, and will do, no matter what price, so they raise the ticket price through the roof..
They still gonna get the ROXY maxed out...
Simple rules of economics...
feel free to boycott.. 20 kids are rite behind u waiting to fill your spot..

Art, I beg to differ
Ticket prices to see a DJ such as PVD here in Toronto in a venue that's not worse then Roxy, are never higher than 25USD. And I'm pretty sure PVD charges same in Canada as he does in US.

Of course Toronto is not as expensive as New York, but I doubt everything is twice cheaper here. Hm.. maybe paying off law-officers in US is where all the money goes.

Anyways, I think 50USD for PVD is a bit ridiculous. Isn't that how much a concert usually costs, even though concerts are much more expensive to organise. I personally don't know how a university student can afford that. Thank God my school has co-op, otherwise I'd be sitting here in TO counting my last 2 cents. Others may not be so lucky.

New York just has the market to charge such high prices.. lots of rich folks everywhere... and if you think New York's bad, you should go to Tokyo... if you're a guy you're probably looking at $50 to get into Velfarre or whatever on a regular night....

This is just the effect of capitalization of the clubbing scene. I bet some officials/politicians are being paid off to turn their heads so clubs stay open. But another factor is these Dj's need to start charging a little less. Does PVD realy NEED $50,000 for 6 hours? this is not good for the scene
