If you go to Europe or even ASIA massive events are VERY WELL organized and provide VALUE. They are not just a fucken cow-milking experiment. |
My experience outside the USA is limited to Europe, but at Sensation White 2006 there were 40,000 people and I was inside within 5 minutes at 22:30 (they were advertising "more entrances," perhaps in response to complaints from previous years?). Tickets were EUR 55,00.
Two years at Trance Energy with 30,000 people and I was in within 1 minute (basically no line), waited about 3 minutes for the security pat-down. Tickets were around EUR 65,00.
Drinks, however, are a different story...your choice was either 3% alcohol beer, Eristoff Ice (energy drink with vodka), or red Eristoff vodka. The only mixers were soda or energy drink. Drinks were purchased with strip tickets, which were 4 for EUR 10,00. Two strip tickets for a beer, or three for vodka. They are also measured precisely, no more, no less...no "strong" drinks from a favorite bartender...but no tips either. 
So yeah, the productions were amazing, but the drinks sucked. Best party in the US for me was Tiesto in Concert 2005: Best production I have seen anywhere, and stellar premium drink VIP open bar setup...but VIP tix were $200! Still, it was worth it, I'll remember that night forever! 
For the record, I did not see any cow milking, even at Sensation White where one might expect such things.
