hello floridians. sorry to interject, but i thought i'd toss in my .02C.
what this guy is saying here is true to a certain degree. the most profitable nights in crobar nyc, for example, have come during nights when mediocre local resident dj boris has been spinning and not when sasha/digweed or tiesto are in the house [where advanced tickets sell out and lines run 5-deep around an industrial block]. this comes from a large number of people coming and going through the night and because of far lower operating costs.
but
those busy and successful nights with local residents would never occur if the club weren't developing a good reputation by booking mega djs the rest of the year. the profit margin -- while still substantial, mind you -- might be slimmer, but the intangible benefits of selling out a superclub with a guy like tiesto are immense. hence, why the clubs that can afford to, will almost always work to book the big names that are guaranteed to sell out (which, let's face it, are only pvd and tiesto in the trance scene).
i'm still unsure as to what happened between LP and tiesto's people, but it's unlikely that lp willingly decided to skip tiesto and let him go to mansion. remember mansion was filled to the gills with people who had paid 85-100 beans just for tiesto -- that's almost half a space pass lol. |

As easy as it would be to do so, I am not going to stoop to your level and attack and disrespect you. Irrespective of how you come at me, you are a girl and I was taught well that you always treat women with respect.
I will just say that if I am what you say I am, prove me wrong about what Mansion pays Tiesto to play there. Prove me wrong about your claim that LP refuses to work with Tiesto because he is mad at him.
Good bye. |
i never said that whole tiesto/lp thing was true.. my opinion on WHY he plays at Mansion instead of space.
As for the Mansion thing.. Do you know how much Mansion is paying for tiesto? Do you really think is 150 g's. Lol.
I already told you the difference between BANG and a regular club gig.
Space likes to brag how its #1 in the U.S... but will never ever compare to the #1 in N America. Should be more liek Guvvy and KH.. You got all the e-tards that go just cuz its a bad ass fuking club yet they pull in almost any and EVERY artist except pvd for some reason.:stongue: |

Opinions are opinions, and everyone has and is entitled to them. Other than your personal attack on me, I respect your opinions and agree with a lot of them. I am not looking for a fight, trust me I know you can kick my ass.
I understand the difference between clubs and festivals you have pointed out. Because while Tiesto has his travelling road show that always adds costs to any gig as he does not leave home without them, festivals present different costs [stage, booth, lighting and sound setups to Tiesto's liking) which organizers must incur. Tiesto's people are supposedly asking for 50K minimum to play clubs, which is what I posted. The 150K is what Bang is rumored to be paying him, not what Mansion is paying him. And while LP has all the money in the world, I have a hunch he would rather slit his wrists than get into a bidding war with the Opium Group (which may just have more $ than LP) and end up paying Tiesto over $50K to play on one night.
And Konijn you are completely right, clubs like Space do need to create reps by booking big name DJs like Tiesto and PVD. I just think Space has developed such a rep already that they feel safe enough in bringing PVD, AVB, Markus Schulz, Acosta, Edgar V, etc without having to give in to a bidding war type scenario to book Tiesto. Everything has its limits, including what some clubs will pay a DJ. A simple look at their calendar over the past months shows that residents are dominating over there big time. It is sad but true.
Just my opinion. |
