I heard that this happens in many nightclubs. I can't say about the promoters of the boat cruise, but the reasoning in the nightclubs is they know there's a certain percentage that will end up not going for whatever reason. So they gamble and make extra dough.
Like I said, this may not necessarily be the case in this particular instance as there's no info to support it. |
Quite different on a boat though:
-People can't leave early making room for others
-Boats have extremely strict and policed capacities to follow whereas clubs can often break theirs without punishment
-Can only enter a boat at one time thus you're either in or not, whereas with a club you can just tell ticket holders to wait
-Much less chance of people bailing on a $50-70 boat cruise than a $20 club ticket
-Can easily have 2 lines at a club where 1 is for door charge and the other is for ticket holders with priority
And I think the worst imo is the end result of not getting on the boat. With a club on a fri/sat night if shit happens you are left with several other options often within walking distance. With a boat you usually woke up early, predrank with a crew, trekked to parking lot city on queens quay, etc etc if you are not getting on then you have no other options. Perhaps CZ, but if you're in boat mode odds are you don't want to go jam in a pitch dark basement with no drinking.
There's promoters (Platform, Ozmozis, Dirty Cycle, I/O) that put on boat after boat without any issues. If there's a logical explanation and this isn't the regular greed backfiring then hopefully someone says so. If not, I doubt I'd go on a boat cruise put on by these guys any time soon.
