well... coliseum is a hockey arena right? so like... was every hockey game back then only like 5,000 capacity? well 4,900 since like there's 100 staff, players, ref, coaches, etc rite?
damn.. 4,900... hockey's like not even that dead in america. so how can 5,000 be overcrowded for a rave/ we still get the bleachers... and other rooms hockey games attendees have no access to.



so anjew... who's not gonna show. i got 5 on z.

[babyshortie]

if u worked for PNE..and u knew people wanted to book ur venue for such an important date..and u knew u could charge double the amount...u'd do it wouldn't u?

and that is why...tickets are more "expensive"....its new years man, its time to have funnnn

[Special-K]

Isnt it a given that tickets for ANY event on NYE is ganna be more expensive?

ya but what parent would buy thier 14 year old kid a rave ticket for x-mas?..........I'm personnally hopinng that the price does keep the teeny boppers away from this one so there's a better vibe from those who know what they are doing when it comes to drugs (if you choose to take any)/dancing...............I've noticed that the older ravers always have a better vibe around them than the newbies......and I say this even though I've only been in the scene for a little over a year but in that time I've been to 4 massives and about 2 underground alwaus acompanied by ppl who have been in the scene for years

P.S. Solid has my full support for this party.....I paid 88 for my ticket from ticket master before I even knew when they were gonna be in stores.......looking at the line up and everything else they have going for this party I'd say the ticket prices are quite resonable.

[Special-K]

Im ganna stay at home on NYE so i can save my money for more cocaine.....

UMMM its not the overcrowding you should be worried about..Sure there is alot of room..The point was they were worried about a liquor licence and the over rowdy drinking crowd when I thought they should be more concerned about too many younger or newbie ravers partying it up a little too much not knowing or even worse not caring about the amount of drugs, kind of drugs or even what to do or whom to turn to if a problem comes up (what to do in the event of a overdose) I am sure most of us will adimit we do drugs at raves or most have tried them a few times.And some of us have even been in these sort of situations.I really think the dance safe commitee or a similar commitee of sort should be in Vancouver. There has always been one in every other city I have been to.And this could help reduce some of the problems that I am sure people are seeing at the raves here in Vancouver.

about stadium comment it is because on the floor u dont see 4900 people on the ice of a hockey game if they opened the top of the stadium where the cloth is and everything i think there is like 15 000 seats or something for the whole areana.... but u cannot fit that many into main room........ the "capacity" is prolly judged by how many people can fit into that big room and once there is that set # in the party they cannot have more because even though there is seats, other rooms, smoke area, there is that slight chance everyone will be on that 1 floor making that their capacity.....

and drugs with people it is common sence to be aware and watch out for friends and peps u went with, not to mention even just looking out for your fellow man. if shit goes down the first thing i'd do is head for first aid or send someone although i dont know much i got all my life gaurding credits :) as well as couple extra just because i wanted to maybe become a fire fighter.

please stop this bullshit about djs not showing up. I coordinated it so that they will be at both events, and I always come through as the promoters in the city know. so please put it all to rest. Every dj will be in attendance.

haha sorry . it's a long running joke i have with anjew. i know Solid always pull through.
anyways, if they play at seattle first, doesn't border patrol have final say whether they make it to vancouver or not? *snicker

[BongMan]

I figure it will be customs at YVR sayin having the final say

no but seriously... that was a joke right?

[wigglesworth]

the ticket prices for nye havent changed since 2001.
maybe some of you havent been going to raves since then so you cant remember?
this price is totally justifiable. everything is indeed doubled for new years, making a show very very pricey.
plus they've got z trip, who IS the best dj in the world, not arguably.
dont be pissed at these guys because you cant afford the show....

[Two_Six]

Ya, if you can't afford it then stay home, if you can then go. Just stop complaining and talking about the same stupid thing forever, its so annoying. Yes tickets are expansive cause its NYE and so much talent is comming and the venue is The Colisium and everything is double on NYE, that should answer everything, so can we stop talking about the same thing over and over and over again. Be happy that their is a Production company like Solid that booked the Colisium and is bringing the best talent to Vancouver. Save your money, go to work to earn it whatever, just come cause its going to be one hell of a party.

[Sean]

As the the Shy Brothers and Uh Oh can definitely verify, I've hardly been a fan-boy in the past for their shows and haven't hesitated to speak my mind when I've felt that they've made inaccurate claims or made decisions I haven't personally agreed with.

That said, as someone that has thrown a quality show on New Years Eve in the past, let me be the first to say that these ticket prices are far from unreasonable. On NYE, EVERYTHING from security, to bar staff, to coat check, to sound, to DJs cost DOUBLE TIME. With starting prices of $70, this would realistically translate to the same party on a regular date costing a measly 35 dollars. Seriously, this is not a ripoff in the slightest.

If you're going to criticise anything about this show, by all means save yourself the flames and don't make it the goddamn price. If you don't want to spend money on New Years, then by all means stay at home and bang pots and pans with your mom.

^I'm a gonna be bangin some chick and her mom is gonna be bangin the pans! LOL :D hahah
