The effect of Financial Crisis on Trance scene!
View this Thread in Original format
Kinezi
What do you think is the effect of current Financial Crisis (thanks to Bush) on the local trance scene in your area? No matter which part of the world you are, you are in miserable financial condition, you are poorer than ever, we all know that. So are you going to pubs less? Less concerts? Did the price of tickets for Tiesto concerts selling in discount in your part of the world?

Share it all here.

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.

glowsticks are "buy 3 get 1 free" at Spencer Gift Shop.

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. :conf:

"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.
