Alright, respectable post. But again, dropping numbers and how much DJs cost won't get you anywhere. I happen to have a very good idea as to how much everything costs to bring someone like Digweed or Howells. And I think YOU know how much Lawler costs so let's not go there ;)
I don't know how many times I have to tell you this but I'm just a fan of the scene; numbers mean balls to me cuz I'm not a manager or owner or whatever. I want a solid prog/tech(no) night in this city, point final. One a month, 4 times a year, whatever. SOMEthing.
If you guys over at Circus are making soooooo much damn money as you claim you are, then why in the world can't you bring a huge DJ (like Digweed, Howells, Desyn or for the trance heads, Armin, etc?) every now and then? Like, 3x a year? I never ever said do it every weekend so I dunno where you got that.
I'm sure you remember Aria, you worked there...JF had that formula of doing huge bookings every night the damn club was open. And what happened? It closed!!! You worked for him...I know you know that the formula was bad...It's not hard to guess or see that.
So ya, have an insane international booking every 3 months or something along those lines. That's all I was trying to say before you started talking numbers again.
Your door price at Circus is always advertised as 20$, you get there and it's close to 40$! It increases as the night goes on. Guestlist? What guestlist? Last time I checked, glist meant FREE. Why is Circus' glist not 100% free? They ask you to give like 4$ or something. Not saying it's alot to ask, but I wonder...
Anyways, you guys ARE clearly making money with your ridiculous door prices and line-up of DJs that aren't so expensive, I'm not disputing that. I'm saying do something respectable and good with all that cash. Oh wait, too many "other" expenses to take care of first, that have higher priority over bringing solid DJs that will pull in a huge crowd to your club? That's too bad really...
Bottom line: I really don't think Circus puts out much for the house crowd of MTL in terms of musical credibility (Nobody's gonna say in 2 years, ", remember that insaneeeee night at Circus when they booked X DJ?") I'd like to see more good things instead of hearing horror stories like bouncers assaulting people. Cheers!

Well im not giving out our numbers really... im just saying that bringing internationnal djs is interesting... but doesnt bring you that much and is a pain to organise
Lots of people in Montreal have control over some bookings and circus isnt interested in trying to get those bookings by offering extra money
"this guy pays that ?... ok we give you 2000 extra"
Not really
As i said... our residents are solid and the vibe is always fun
Thats our way to see the market
Everybody bringing big headliners are losing money
Are we gonna lose 10 000 dollars just for the sake of bringing a big headliner ? ... the answer is no
If we see an opportunity where it could be worth it to bring in a big guy... we will do it
Since last year with Ferry... nothing came up that could be profitable and fun to bring to the club in terms of top top A-class headliner
So we stick with are awsome residents and some interesting upcoming internationnals
Thats all

I totally agree on those points. You guys should work on that if you really want to build a strong reputation. I went once to Circus since Stereo was burned down and to tell you the truth, I am not planning to go back if things stay the way they are.
