Dear promoters and chach mongers...

[Veni*C]

hey promoters.. how about next time u decide to throw a big event on a long weekend you dont over sell capaticty so people that bought their tickets 2 months in advance can actually get in without having to pay a 50 dollar per person "get past the bouncer fee"... and also so they dont have to stand there and watch the coupious amounts of idiot chach mongers and their douche bag cookie cutter girlfriends wiesel their way in because they think theyre hot shit or they know the bouncer....thanks to the idiots who bought our tickets for double the price.. and thank you to commdore for having dj heather in the house with a way better crowd and venue.

/end rant.

fuckos.

[Grapes]

These requests sound pretty unreasonable :(

that's funny, because the only place that had a problem tonight was the commodore.

six cop cars because of a brawl totally = a better crowd.

[Carrie]

veni, you say all this like it's a new thing.

some events, you just know that you should show up at 9pm, and bring booze to drink in line because it'll be 2-3 hours before you get in.

ps showing your breasts might have gotten you in a bit faster.. LOL

by the looks of the people going into the clubs... it appeared that commodore had a better crowd i.e. less barstar morons... once inside... room to actually dance to me was way better than being jam packed in a room with a bunch of sweaty barstars... ya the fact that some idiot.. (probabably someone that couldnt get into the other place coming across the street mind you) trying to be a tough guy and pick a fight with the bouncer... well.. what can i say... its vancouver.. and that can happen anywhere...plus dont forget all the idiots come out during long weekend....
im just sick of having to worry about getting into a club when i bought tickets 2 months prior to the event... ya i know the venue was switched... but u know what.. thats not my problem and it should be dealt with better... end of story.


yes carrie.. u were right.. dont worry i wont be making that mistake again.

In all honesty, I can't recall ever going to a club night where I saw lineup issues like this. Raves yes (Imix comes to mind, although I was lucky and scammed in..)... but clubs no.

Time to start taking note and picking better venues/promoters to give your business to. Let the chach/skank audience enjoy their lineup parties.

promoters can be shady sometimes to get that extra buck. I mean some promoters know that if a shows going to sell out, the ethical question comes to mind if they should oversell tix and rip people off at the door. It's nothing new, but now you know that if that happens again, that there's always some sucker to buy that ticket off you.

it's an inherent problem (though rarely seen at clubs). but after harping about ethics i love how your solution is to "go rip someone else off".

durrr good karma for you.

ha! Thought I've NEVER been in this sort of situation before... hypothetically speaking, this situation happens again and the bouncers are asking for a "$50 bouncer fee" because the promoter is a sleazy douche bag (which these door monkeys obviously have no respect for) and hypotheticaly there's some chach monger who looks like he's willing to pay the cash... yeah man fuck 'em. No skin of my back.

That imix line up was awful me and Pat went down there but didn't end up going to the party.




And lol at "chach monger".

[Grapes]

Not sure what happened.. I think that might have been a counterfiet ticket issue. Around 4 or 5 in the morning I saw Mark running around and I just asked him casually "how's it goin?".. he had this concerned look on his face, he was like "not so good man... I got like 500 ticketholders outside who haven't been able to get in".

It came as a surprise to me, because I'd got in lickity split VIP thanks to some help.. so I was just partying away, having no idea of the chaos that had been going on outside for hours and hours.

[Clayton.]

I heard the same thing alot of counterfeit tickets.

[mojo]

hahah
chach monger

[Carrie]

As much as I would love to see all the dj's that are coming to vancouver,

I know the deal with tickets, crowds, and all that bullshit.

I enjoyed my night at home last night, I saved some time and money by being at home.

[Infidel]

It is because of things like this I don't ever go to a club or bar on long weekends or holidays. Camping is where its at on weekends like this.

Also, I doubt the promoter sees any of the money the bouncers are scamming at the door. Chances are, if its a very shady club, the manager is taking a cut of that cash also. Standard Vancouver nightclub bullshit. No surprise there.

Yes it was really weak. The staff I sent there for the promoter; his promo staff didn't even get in! We are the people that have been promoting the shit out of this event and had to stand outside for an hour and a half and didn't get in. They got there a bit before me at 11pm. Couldn't even get in at that time; and we are staff! So, the promo team went home; stayed till 12:30 trying to get in and couldn't. Which ment I didn't get to go to the show either and had WAY more work to do. Lots of dissapointed people. Very Very lame.

I find these days you need to show up at the club around 10:30pm at the latest, unless you want to be dealing with this shit. I showed up around 10:15 and got in with no problems.
It's usually around 11-12:30 that everything goes to hell unfortunately. I don't find it's worth it to even try at that point. It's a shame, but it's the only way I've found to get around the insanity that breaks loose around that time. There are just too many people willing to pay a fuck load of money to get into a club these days. And unfortunately even if the promoters have the best intentions, and are not the ones letting in extra people. They can't control the staff making some cash on the side, or just the general confusion that comes with all the extra people showing up, crowding the front of the line.

[dabbler]

for the record. i never buy that whole "counterfeit" ticket story. unless its for a massive rave, then MAYBE some one might waste the time to do that, but i personally feel that more often than not (least in terms of a clubnight) that story is just a coverup.

[dabbler]

btw, what night is this even referring to?

[Akeel]

I'm a chach monger!

[bebu*funfun]

venita ure a chach monger!!!!!!

fuck i just woke up.. uh...

[*sal*]

Veni you should have come to the lotus long weekend party it was only 10 bucks and they had the three rooms open... sooo much fun!

btw lotus got shut down early by the cops too... mind you early was 2
