Here's to all the idiots that said trance is dead. Trance sold out Gryphon in less than 2 weeks of tickets sales, and it was not even a Tiesto, Armin or PVD show ... |
Sold out in 8 days to be exact. Sure it wasn't any of those guys, it was only the #4 ranked djs in the world |

Working on a date for Markus already :)
Another reason Trance doesn't come around is that a lot of these guys are in Europe and Ibiza for the summer. Its a hell of a lot of money to fly these guys in for one night and then fly them back, thats at least $2,000 just in plane tickets if their coming from Ibiza plus the hotel and booking fees, it gets expensive real quick. |
Awesome, you know what u r doing, Markus is a must
As for the Ibiza thing, no doubt that is an issue. But not that many trance DJs (other than the biggest names) have residencies there any longer, and they still come to the states during summer. You just have to book them when they are already scheduled to be on this side of the pond ... |

I was giving you guys credit for a job well done, and using those guys as examples because some people claim unless it's Tiesto or PVD trance cannot sell here
As for the ranking, "in the world" is the operative statement. By most Miami peeps they would be ranked more like #400. If you would've polled 1000 clubgoers @ Space & Mansion the week before you started selling tix I guarantee you less than 50% would've known who A&B were, and less than 20% would've agreed with a #4 ranking, and less than 10% would've committed to attending this event.
In other words, great job with the booking & promotion ;) |

The thing is ... lots of the DJs we all love to see are in the states pretty often just in like NYC, Vegas or Cali... you guys have to coordinate around those dates to have them come to Miami..
But speaking of Markus. Markus is in Europe like once a week and lives in Miami. That's one guy that must have a hefty travel bill lol |

In all fairness....I would like to see a Miami club take on this challege as well. Friday night for me going all the way up to Hard Rock from Kendall is rough and an even worse drive home. So I think its only fair for the trance to be distrubuted between counties. Lets move past the fist pumping here ok! Hey, a girl can wish cant she :) |
I don't want to add to the complaints already but yeah I agree. I live in Palmetto Bay... The Hard Rock IS BFE for me |
