WTF! i move to calgary and was excited that i wouldn't have to drive and pay big bucks for a place to stay and now he boycots calgary! i also heard many times that he hates it here and last summer i saw him in calgary and his show was a bit shit, he wasn't too happy either, and then i saw him 2 nights later in vancover and he was off the hook and happy as hell, mine was the first autograph he signed then we met him out back afterwards... it was good! i love tiesto.. porky i'm crashing at your pad!!!

Why is Tiesto boycotting Calgary?
How many people were at his show in Calgary?
I hope he changes his mind and comes back!

I went to see him the last time he was here....I think it was May or June 2003. It was at the Whiskey and they put him on the stage/raised dancefloor part...not up in the rafters. Right there...you know that ticket sales weren't very good cause that set-up definitely cuts capacity. I can remember being very surprised at the lack lustre turn-out when I arrived...especially compared to the December 2002 show at the Palace. (That show was amazing...the Palace was packed and rocking). I can only imagine his disappointment when he arrived at The Whiskey...a much smaller venue and crowd..As a result, he wasn't into it..the crowd wasn't into it...no encore...nothing.....I'm not surprised he avoided us this time.

Well im seriously upset with the promoter who booked the number 1 DJ in the world at such a small venue!
Now we all gonna have to go somewhere else to see him, very dissapointing.

the whiskey isn't small its probably the biggest place that hosts dj events in the city now that the palace is gone, the capacity is at least 1000, has nothing to do with the venue pvd and ferry corsten, john digweed and many others have played great shows there

ok sorry i misunderstood the previous post, man thats a disappointing thing that he doesn't like to come to Calgary because of the last visit.

don't know how true that actually is don't think the crowd would turn him away maybe certain promotors, but most djs love calgary digweed said it was his favorite stop in north america last time he was here and jules had a big write up about it with nothing but good things

I apologize if my previous post was a bit misleading...Like Mr. Bacardi said...I wouldn't really blame the venue...it was more the timing and lack of promotion..in December, it was on a Sunday at a larger venue with a packed house. In June, it was on a Wednesday at a smaller venue with an average crowd.

Sometimes it can be quite detrimental to raise expectations and set high standards if you can't consistently meet them.

Ya thats weird, why does Tiesto hate it so much when all thos e dj's liked it here so much?
Man i would really like to see Tiesto come back here to Clagary!

Commodore Ballroom is 19+ right?

Just move to Vancouver ... Problem solved :P

HA HA Calgary !!!!!!!!!!

The reason that he dislikes Cow town is just that. When my good friend was in Mallorca a year and a half ago he saw tiesto there and caught up with him afterwards. He was talking to Tiesto about how great it was last time he came to vancouver. though Tiesto just kept on bringing up how much Calgary sucked cause of the stupid Stampeed. Seems as though he didnt like the beer funnelling redneck roping shit that was going down at that time of year. The funny part about the coversation that he had with Tiesto was that my friend kept changing the subject and Tiesto kept on griping about how stupid Calgary was.

Sorry to rub it in but just telling the story makes me laugh.
Its a good thing that him and the rest of the world LOVE Vancouver.
But all you TA's are welcome to come down and see what an amazing night at the commodore is like.
