I bought tickets just this summer to see Dave Matthews Band and THE WAILERS (in case you don't know who they are its from BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS) and those tickets where $40 dollar's and it is a show of 6 hours. |
mere i totally feel u on this...it is the principle that matters. and yes that $10 show was one the BEST evar...most djs don't agree with the pricing of these events, but costs are what they are...and a profit does need to be made...
things have just gotten way too expensive these days -- no one agrees with it :( |

| The real question is, "Is MADE a douchebag for charging $40 for an event or are u the unfortunate one who is willing to pay the $40 to go see AVB ?" From a business perspective, if I were Made, id do the same. It seems there is so many ppl who think $40 is a bargain it dont matter what they charge at the door. Hell, id make it $50 at door and no pre-sale for $30. But just because they charge that price doesnt mean I have to go or any of u have to go. YOU CHOOSE TO GO DESPITE THE PRICES BEING WHAT THEY ARE. This doesnt just apply to AVB but any DJ really. At some point, u gotta realize these ppl are just DJs who come around more than once a yr and it aint a big deal missing them, especially if it aint in ure budget, or even if it is, its not something worth paying for even if u had the money to go. Personally, none of these Djs are worth more than $30. In Europe or elsewhere in the world, they play for $5-20 yet since its "AMERICA" ppl decide that even $50 is cheap for an event like this. Last I checked, it was the same music, same type of club, except they have a better vibe and attitude at the party. The reality is when ppl pay covers like this, its not cause the DJ costs that much or are even worth that much, its how much ppl perceive these DJs to be actually worth and their desire to want to be a part of it all. |

Totally agree with you on this one and it translates to all genre's of music. Since we the people are willing to pay the price they will charge it and each year it will go up just a little more, not to much, just enough for you to be okay with it until it gets totally out of control. Soon it will $100 for a 3 hour set in the bathroom of the McDonald's in Times Square :haha: |

| rediculous pricing for a short event is exactly why im not going, last year we all paid about 35 for like 6 hours... so wtf is this noise paying more for half the time??? hopefully other people dont go either, its not that 40 dollars is alot of money, it isn't, its just that we are getting ripped off more and more everyday for every little ... i thought this was 'the land of the free'... |

Oh and since you know so much about me, being my financial advisor and all, I am NOT going to this event I made the choice based on no matter how much I paid $30 or or $300 it wasn't worth it for me. :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip:
And I NEVER said I couldn't afford the "extra" $10 I said I DIDN'T want to pay it....so get your straight!!! |
Well he is qualified to be your FA, so you might want to listen. :D |

| sadly but true it hasnt been the same since awhile back but there is always faith , recently its all the unknowns who make good music now a days~ and wow not having hard scene in us , terrible. u got ur ****** house music if ur lucky with some decent tracks and majority of trance tracks that try to hard or sound like old that went wrong |
|
|
| TRNG |
HAHAHA yep yep, almost every track i hear nowadays has ripped off an OG track in one way or another, so lame
either that
or infinite reworks/redo's of emo garbage
trance music is about dancing and enjoying life, the exact opposite of what dem rock bands represent... wake da fuk up! |

He might be but I don't think either of you know me or what I do so to go throwing around adivce when you don't know the other person, espically about finances to me seems rude and to over step your boundries. No matter how much knowledge I have on a situation like that I would never tell someone how to spend there money. |
