Seriously now... (Doom's Night)

[Sykonee]

Some people paying $160 for a single night of... well, whatever it is that goes there... faux-ravin', I guess.

Meanwhile, for ten dollars LESS you can get FIVE nights of pure rave. In a FOREST NO LESS!!! With QUADUPLE the acts to see! And a TOTALLY amazing atmosphere.

Why ANYONE would even want to go to Doom's at those prices the tix were being sold (and boy were there some pansies) completely baffles me when Shambhala shows how much you SHOULD be able to get in a party for that price.

tix were $60 bucks from scalpers outside around 2AM
hahaha

[Grapes]

^ Lol.. I'd call that a reassesment of value.

[Grapes]

PS Still a ripoff. Fuck partying at PNE.

My buddy paid 200$ to get into Sham @ the entrance.

And it's more like 3 days of music.

Yeah.. they charged big time at the gates.

I say five. The campgrounds are positively alive with activity on those first two nights.

Yeah those car stereos all pumpin different genres sounds great, especially with those skid monkey kids blasting fucking slayer, don't get me wrong, i loves me some slayer, but not @ Sham.

I'm pretty choked about what sham has become, it's gonna be really hard to go next year knowing what it's turned into, unless some really big names are playin, fuck it, fuck the police state, fuck the overpriced shit food, fuck the drunk teens actin thug, fuck the shit drugs and especially fuck those shitters.

^ While I understand some of the points you're making, there WAS a killer Shambhala out there to be had. You just kind of had to play it the right way. One of the main things for our crew was getting ourselves situated way off in the woods, away from the row up on row of sketched out kids from Chilliwack trying to create the world's biggest soundclash in by pumping all their stereo systems simultaneously.

2002 was my first Shambhala, I thouroughly enjoyed it. 2004 I went again, and was somewhat disappointed.. kind of thought that the whole thing was on a downward slide. 2006 got off to a (very) shaky start, but ended up being my favorite one so far. By a landslide.

Make your own vibe!

I was right by the main entrance by the showers, right in the middle of country, metal, house, trance, goa, dnb, some shit I wouldn't wish upon the ears of my worst enemies.

I was just disgusted with the police state bullshit, people gettin illegally searched n seized, undercovers comin by our camp askin if we had any "drugs".....uh yeah sure we got drugs, like fuck off.

The worst was all the alchohol though.

Drunk teens everywhere.

2003 was my fave year every year its gotten worse.

You're right about make your own vibe though, cause i did sat night @ the village when Bri played and then Hive, that was fucking sick as fuck.

i went to dooms night in 2005. and the only thing I really enjoyed about it was Craze and SS.

There was absolutely no vibe, alot of the people were unfriendly and even rude in some cases. The people who were friendly, were ridiculously high on drugs - and when i ran into em later in the night they were zombies.

Theres really no comparing an event like shambhala to something like dooms night.

The only thing you could make any comparison is your bang for your buck. People paying $100+ for a one night with a few headliners at Dooms, or paying $150 for four nights at Sham. You do the math. Eventhough Sham didn't have as many headliners this year, I would give a lot of credit for some of the up&coming artists they brought in, never heard of some of these guys and they played killer sets.

[Pennywise]

sounds like I didnt miss much, just as i suspected.

bfunk dood sorry to hear what happen dood.

[Mr Ektion]

Way to post more about shambalah than doomsnight. Seriously?

You guys aren't wrong though. Shambalah is an amazing event but even back in the day it was super cheap. Now it's proven and people are willing to pay and drive out to the interior to experience it.

Dooms night might not have been your thing. Especially if you're comparing it to a summer outdoor massive that's been running for almost (or over) 10 years. But Dooms is in the city in a hockey stadium. There's an obvious difference in promoter style.

All in all, dooms night was a success. It was sold out. All rooms sounded great. It was everything I expected it to be.

[Sykonee]

I'm just one of those guys that demands the most bang for my buck. ;)

[impure]

it's all about the bangs and bucks.

[apri_peel]

i wonder if people who paid $160 for doom's felt it was worth the money at the end of the night

[Grapes]

I'd rather read 10 pages about Shambhala than read 10 words about some cookie cutter PNE rave.

Though admittedly a thread topic is a thread topic.

[Grapes]

Yeah! Me too! Cuz then I'd be high on drugs!!!

[Guineveire]

I know where I want to go next year :)

[amanda rude]

Is this seriously the thread review on Doomsnight? Anyways, I thought it was dope. Anyone who is complaining about the price: then don't pay it. Obviously that venue would be mad $$$ to rent, insure, etc...

The Breaks room kicked ass. Hirshee & Jeff- yur Afro's were the best.

[Grapes]

Is this seriously the thread review on Doomsnight?

Nope, it's a thread for trashing Doom's Night. I guess that wasn't apparent from the first post?

[mATRIX]

dooms was good, hirshee and Jeff's for's were funny, and i liked the 80's trax they were bumpin

[Mister.Mark]

doomsnight Owned..
