It is your first one, but if u really wanna get the support of people, u throw little parties for small prices.. so then they know ur throwin good parties and they'll come to the big ones and then u can start charging more and no one will care but for now..

Well, think what you will, I have no control over it.. All I can say is that suprises are always best when no one knows that they are happening

[flipmat]

Ticket sales are happening.. Bassix downtown (217 W. Hastings) has tickets for $20 plus service charge right now.. and On Deck (416 W. Georgia) has tickets as well... I have also started a new convienient ticket sale location at broadway station.. Go to the "Super Save Calling Station Kiosk" at Broadway Station, right beside A&W... go to http://simplysexie0.tripod.com/ticketsales.htm there is a map there incase anyone doesn't know where to find the locations..

[normal josh]

Thats easy. With parties like this, the majority of people out there don't want to pay $25+ a ticket.
If your ticket prices were $15 you might sell 4 or 5 times the amount you would then if they were $25 or $30

if you bring in more people with cheaper prices, then you can get more money. When you have more money you don't need to cut corners!

To justify $25+ tickets nowday you need to have some pretty good talent and a lot more of it, or people just won't see the value

To justify $40+ at the door I think you would either need the party to be legal or at least to have some dj's with international status

he's a smart man that agro dave :)

[PwInCeSs]

sounds good
itll be intresting to say the least
:)

[flipmat]

Thanks for your input Dave, I understand exactly where you are coming from.. People that do come will see the Value of their tickets and what they get for it rigt away.. So even if I don't sell out this party, I am sure that the word will get out about how my parties are run.. So to all of you that are coming, I can't wait to see you there..

I have tickets with the service charges already payed for at Broadway Skytrain Station right beside the A&W (at the "Super Save Calling Station" Kiosk).. So that will keep 2 extra dollars in your pocket to Buy something refreshing at the party..

See you all there, I am releasing the FINAL DJ list on Monday July 19,2004. Check http://simplysexie0.tripod.com/ticketsales.htm for A Ticket Sale Location Map...

Cheers.

We ran it EVERY weekend some both friday and saturday...and it was 2 blocks away from the cop shop on poweLL street. We held fundraising events, like for the food bank, or sending underpriveledged kids snowboarding, or woman's rape relief centers etc...it FeeLs G heLpin out the needfuL in society and it also helps legalize the event, and the cops do have a heart..shouldn't be all about the promoter....we NEVER got shut down for nearly a year...we should bring back the fundraising styLe....the only reason the place got shut down is cuz some jaded raver was found with alcohol and a firecode violation, way too many people...Us ravehz need to uNite and buiLd a coLiseuM on sum iNDiaN LaNd...fuck, all i goda do is win the Lotto....lol, iMages of fLaiLing construction workers raviN to sik beats as it gets buiLt crosses my MiNd...Matt, wishen you dope success, u should mention this wiLL be a blacklit party, some people dig sketchen on gLowen tracehz

my thoughts exactly... fundraising for a worthy cause is an excellent idea.. now who's got 5 million bux for this raver's paradise?... we need a richass raver to make this shit happen... lol or some serious fundraising of our own

You can put on a pretty nice rave for around $250,000.00 but half a mill would be an insane nght out.

Just save your money and go to a party that is a legal event that will go all night long with no hassle the next night called Shifted http://www.fnk.ca/board/showthread.php?t=49827

yea, this party is so gonna get broken up...and i doubt we will be seein too many gals degrading themselves by wearing skimpy underwear n shit.
hence a possible uneven ratio of ladies and sausages...

[cheech420]

sounds like a good idea but needs to be legalized or it will be shut down around one a clock when some dumbass calls an ambulance like at unite cuz they dont got 2 dollars for a bottle of water and cant see the tap to drink from it, looks like a good party but a sketchy party

[iluvtechno]

hahaha SIMPLY CHEESY!! i mean SIMPLY SEXY, but im so there, i wanna see what 35 dollar ticket can get me.. what kinda out of this world lighting setup / visuals no other party charging 15-20 / ticket did..

totally guys,

we're all stressed out about all the busts this summer.

matt is a relatively new face in this scene and the moment he made comment that this party was going to be the shit. every body started floggin him with what he should have, could have, and isn't doing/ could do.

why? mostly because a lot of people have invested time and money in to their own events and have been shut down before midnight. some people are we all saying:" be carefull?" while others are just saying "you're not going to pull it off...."


he's talked the talk so lets see if he can walk the walk.

I've learned the most about promoting through experience and my own mistakes and by watching the people around me.

Those who have posted in this thread have giving alot of advise and what not to do. you should all get together and write teh novel of the century.

"rave promotions for dumbies"

I just don't think it's appropriate how matts being treated. we've all been in his shoes and he's getting put throught the gears.. don't doubt that.

let see what he can do with this party
