Originally posted by push01 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.

I'll agree for Boston definately and DC to some extent... but Space in Miami has parties that go into the afternoon the next day and it still doesn't cost as much as NY. Plus Spaces sound system is fawkin ridiculous!

People here dont go to see Edgar V for Free. I will Pay 50 Dollars for Marco V on the 28th and also Djs in LOndon spin for 2hrs, for them to do 5 hrs (EVERYONE @ SPACE DOES) its worth 40 bucks.

i didn't get in for free for PvD at space...tell me how!!

and the prices in nyc are ridiculous!!!

i can go to canada and and see any special guest dj at the guv on sat night for a max of $15 canadian which is really around $9 u.s. $9 to see armin and scott bond kind of djs. maximum price i have ever seen for a cover charge is $25 canadian.

we are being RAPED in nyc! i just paid 54.50 to buy a friend a ticket to pvd at roxy. and the horrid thing is, the clubs aren't that good! nyc club owners need to take a trip to toronto and montreal to see how to really throw a party!

just my $.02

The thing is the cost of living in NY is much greater than most of the United States, and most of the world for that matter. It is not only clubbing that is more expensive here: how about rent? drinks? eating out? everything costs more here. Clubbing is not exempt from that. And as an owner of a business (i.e club owner) I would charge as much as I think I could in order to net me the highest profit. WHy is a clubowner any different from a restuarant owner? It is America--the land of opportunity and capitalism. Should these owners worry about how it is hurting the scene? c'mon. The way I see it these owners know that PvD will attract such a large demand that if a few people are turned off by the high prices it, it isnt a problem because the demand is so great that there are many others that will take their place. And they know this because of past history and present. PvD tix are almost sold out.

yes, but it used to be $35 to see pvd at twilo...

and normally $30 cover charge for regular nights at twilo and other clubs too...even less.

over the past year, prices have skyrocketed. and they can do this because we keep paying it. heh, i'm one of 'em. and if i didn't, someone else would.

it's all about money. that's why we all need to get good jobs so we can afford all this and keep up with the times

it sucks, and the only thing we can do is suck it up and deal, or go to other cities to party.

yeah... Carl Cox was $30 but u can always get on the guestlist and pay $25, and other nights were $25 flat.... after twilo closed down, promoters are taking advantage of clubbers....sad but true..

exactly..

Hopefully when Crobar opens up it will be able to keep prices relatively lower than other clubs due to its huge capacity. We just need one club to do it then the others would realize they don't have to pay ridiculous prices to party to good music. Yes, NY is more expensive with everything but you can see solid talent at smaller clubs like Centro for around $25. Just sucks that the places that get the names I like are the ones that want to abuse people cuz they can.
