I am sorry this happened to you. Was the place packed? I heard about this on Friday afternoon and couldnt find any information about it so I didnt go? Wow Whippenberg thats pretty awesome though.

The place was crowded but there was plenty of room to dance. Yea it was pretty awesome.
I really enjoyed his set but he doesn't do much when it comes to crowd interaction. |

I believe most clubs in Miami Beach leave it to the doormans discretion...actually that happened to me at Space a couple times now that I think about it...lol...it was very suprising...and at Mansion as well:toothless |
I remember a couple years back I kept hearing about how mansion is strict and won't let you in sometimes even if you have a ticket. Luckily I've never had that problem with them, even though the wait times can get lengthy. I'll be on my way to Mansion tonight for Roger Sanchez, so we'll see how it goes. |

Yup, I read that part. My g/f was way more upset because they were her friends that got denied entry. I reminded her about the "admission at doorman's discretion" part but she made the point of them having paid the money and not receiving what they paid for. The doorman told them that they could get a refund on wantickets but I'm pretty sure that's BS. When I was talking with the lady that had the will call list, about the cheaper door price vs pre-sale price, she said that opium group had nothing to do with wantickets. I'm sure that they have to have some sort of arrangement (correct me if I'm wrong) but its obvious that there's a lack of communication between the two groups.
And yea I do believe it is a better business bureau issue because customers/guests are getting shafted. Let's see what wantickets will do about the situation. |
honestly wanttickets is pretty good so i wouldnt be surprised if they do in fact get a refund. the only way you really cant get a wanttickets refund is if you forget your id or credit card and then they dont give you the tickets because well thats your up and not theirs. let us know what happens though.
regarding the presales vs door prices... this is always a risk with these smaller shows. plenty of times ive bought presales for $20 + service fee and then got to the door and it was just $20 or less. hell even for space shows, they always have presales but then its free at the door. this happened to me for sander van doorn in sept and december 2007. bought presales and then it was free at the door.
i just hate how they take your money and then dont get let you in. i mean, theres ing super exclusive clubs all over the world, and thats all fine and dandy, be as discriminating as you want to be, but then dont sell tickets before hand!!

that about mansion is a myth. the long waits are obviously not, but if you bought a ticket, they'll let you in. |

one time sasha was playing at set, on a sunday night no less (so I really doubt it was that busy). anyway, it was my friend's birthday so me, him, and a girl went to go see him at set. my friend I guess didn't fit the mold that the bouncer wanted, so he told him "sorry, you can't wear a short sleeve shirt here." literally after like 5 minutes, he lets in 2 guys wearing t-shirts. my friend nicely pulled the bouncer and was like "come on man, we're just here to have a good time, we have presales and everything, you just let in some guys with short sleeved shirts so don't give us that" and to that, the bouncer basically replied "sorry, but you guys are not going to be getting in tonight"
the lady working the will call made note that we wanted refunds on her wantickets list, and we all emailed them when we got home. wantickets was really cool about us and gave each of us a refund for it. I suggest you tell your friends to email them as soon as possible. |

lol, yea wantickets never refunds your money. You have to do a chargeback. I've done it myself for over $400 worth. Wantickets are greedy bastards that have poor communications with their clients (club venues). em and do the chargeback. |

well thats your bad. next time dont wear shorts if you dont want to get a nasty look. also he probably asked you for your bday and sign to make sure you knew your and werent using a fake.

if you're going to party at the beach. dress nice, wear clothes that fit and you'll be fine.
i got into set in 30 seconds 2 girls 3 guys
i think everyone has to be aware of the image clubs like set, liv or mokai want to keep (mansion is not strict at all)
miami isn't about the music, its about getting girls, popping bottles and making money. thats just the way it is. but if you go dressed like you want to fit into that crowd you'll be fine and enjoy yourself.
the only thing i hate about set is.. they regulate what the dj plays
wippenbergs tracklist was good. but everything he played was very well known/lots of vocals
that was due to set making demands.. :/ |
