oh well....guess milwaukee it is

first you brag about getting 2300 people attending your show. if you multiple that by $80 you get $184,000. i know tiesto is expensive, and the auditorium was not easy to get, but something doesn't add up here. why don't you break the numbers down for us if you claim you're not making $$$$$$$.

i wouldn't pay anything to see this guy dj and i've happily paid $5 for shows in my city that more accurately represent electronic music.

As I'm sure you know, what you expect and hope for often times is not what actually happens. We're cautiously optimistic but the show is expensive and it's expensive for a reason, because the cost is astronomical. Awesome lights are in the works, awesome sound, etc. We know that if you attend you'll be impressed and have a great time. We just hope that you do attend. You won't be disappointed.

Longer set time vs. higher quality lights/sound. The choice is yours. Either way I'm sure you'll enjoy your self.

its suposed to be about the music right? to be honest with u....of those 40 times i have seen Tiesto, i have only paid more than what u are asking once.....for NYE in LA

Of course it's about the music. But doesn't enjoyable music sound better on a decent sound system? I'm not saying that the rig in Milwaukee isn't going to be good but the one in Minneapolis is going to be pretty insane.

Well, the show is in 9 days so we'll just have to see how it turns out.

you used to book the occasional carl cox, right? and we you not responsible for loco dice in mpls on a wednesday? would love to see more bookings like that from SIM.

this i'm afraid, is going the opposite direction.

You're correct. We've booked just about any of the big guys you can think of. Unfortunately when it comes to the Carl Cox's and Loco Dice's of the world they're not cheap and they don't pull very many people in MN. Thus SIM ends up losing money on them.

Of course we love all genres of electronic music and have booked many events in the past featuring all of those genres but at this time trance, certain styles of house, and dubstep are the ones that are popular.

In addition to Tiesto, we have Wolfgang Gartner, Steve Angello, Infected Mushroom, Shpongle, and EOTO booked for the spring. Check out http://www.simshows.com/ for details on those events.

As for going in the opposite direction, SIM has been booking Tiesto regularly for the last decade as well as AVB, Ferry, PVD, Deadmau5, etc. I'd say that we're pretty consistent in booking big names and taking risks on the lesser known or up and coming ones. Check out past events and take a look...

Tiesto is in 8 days! Get your advance tickets now!
