I never really have to pay to get in anywhere I go so it hasn't affected me at all.

Not really.

The "recession" has had no measurable or meaningful impact on clubbing in Los Angeles as far as I can tell.

Trance-Energy 2009 was sold out two weeks before (30.000).

51.000 tickets were sold in one day for Pinkpop 2009. A new record.

So that doesn't seem to be affected by the crisis.

well no hard data will be made available until July but the restaurant/tourism/nightlife scene has been drastically hurt. We dont' know how it compares to previous years but they think there has been over 75% decline in venues (both operational and pending opening) compared to previous years.

i have noticed attendance at all clubs is down, in my area anyway. not just techno but hip hop as well. i predict the rave scene will make a come back and music will go back to the grassroots operations of the old days. people will start to throw more illegal parties out in the woods or on a secluded beach. there will be less shallow commercialism in dance music.

I predict that everything you've just described is and already has been happening in many cities in the United States for quite some time.

"as far as I can tell"

The number being pulled in at events I help with and club nights I attend do not seemed to be affected by the recession at all.
