[B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][B]Tiesto?s Show Moved To The Docks Entertainment Complex[/B][/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Toronto[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2], May 3, 2006 ? In an eager attempt to irritate fans and make more money, promoters have decided to change the venue for the upcoming Tiesto performance. [/SIZE] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]?By moving the May 21st show to the Docks (from the downtown location at Circa), we are able to cram thousands more people into the venue while keeping the ticket prices exactly the same,? stated Tiesto?s promoter. ?In order to sell a bunch of tickets up front, we made it seem like Tiesto would appear in a smaller club downtown. Then we pulled the old switcheroo and moved everything to the Docks to sell even more. It?s just good business sense.?[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]In this savvy plan, promoters will be able to inject 2,000 more bodies into the show, lowering the overall experience for fans that were loyal enough to buy the already overpriced tickets to the original performance. Promoters were also clever enough to avoid offering refunds to fans that were upset by the decision. ?If you are angry and you don?t want to come, just don?t show up. We?ll need the space anyway,? said the Docks general manager. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]?I feel like I?ve been kicked in the nuts,? quipped Tiesto fan Steve Plant. ?I already thought it was a fairly bad deal at the $70 advance ticket price (including service charges). Now I?m going to have to shell out another $40 to get to the docks and back. I?m also pretty sure I won?t even be able to see Tiesto as they will certainly pack as many people into the place as possible. Man ? these promoters are really smart guys. I never saw it coming!?[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]As a minor consolation, promoters have advised that fans illegally download as much of Tiesto?s music as possible. ?It might make fans feel as though they are getting a little something back,? advised Tiesto?s promoter. ?And when they illegally download his music, it doesn?t affect our bottom line whatsoever. It?s another big win for us.?[/SIZE][/FONT]

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

^^^ Where did you get such an article? I want an actual link before I believe this. The venue was changes as Circa isn't ready yet, plus it sold out really quickly.

If this was started for more Tiesto bashing, please don't bother

He needs to be bashed for the damn ticket price... That is just insane

I love Hernan but if his ticket price was $70 i would probably pass!

Desyn on the other hand that is another story! ;)

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

you shouldn't pay $70 for any dj ever. that's fucking absurd. shame on anyone dumb enough to support this. i'd say the same if it were richie or luciano.

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

yes Tiesto tickets are expensive, always have been. Saw him in Dec 04 and June 05, both $75 per ticket.....June show was meh, but the show in Dec was one of the best parties I have ever been too....I don't regret a penny from that night.

If you don't like the ticket prices, don't buy them....that simple. Leave the guy alone ffs

I have paid that on several occaisons but for more then one DJ, it's just the way it is in Toronto. It is very expensive to party for the most part at clubs like Guv, The Docks, This is London, and Sonic. Average ticket price is $40.

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

[quote=DancingQueen] If you don't like the ticket prices, don't buy them....that simple. Leave the guy alone ffs[/quote]

I agree on that

The worse part of paying that much for a show is that fact that it doesn't include any drinks. Hell, beers go for about 7 bucks. That blows.

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

after actually checking the tix are $60 (canadian) pre-sale and $75 at the door... yeah, it's alot of cash but the thing is people will pay it. Don't worry Karen, I'm not here to bash. If you like someone and want to see them live you sometimes have to kick out the bucks to see them... lets see, they sold 500 at $50 ($25,000) plus another 500 at $60 ($30,000) and now [B][U]if[/U][/B] they sell out the extra 2000 at either $60 or $75 they'll be taking in another, hmmmm $120,000 to $150,000 extra for the venue change (this isn't taking out pay for security/other dj's etc..). I've never seen a Tiesto contract/rider but after seeing these numbers I'd like to....

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

Hey I rarely bash DJs. But admittingly, that's what I'm doing here.. I really shouldn't bother, but I needed some entertainment at my desk today. Sorry to offend.

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

I've been to toronto on many occasions and the most i've ever paid was $30cdn and that was for boa's NYE party for 2005. Been to labours of love, and other very large events - never paying more then $25cdn. I don't mind a reasonable cover charge at all, but $70 is just too steep. Toronto has a large enough group of trance supporters to where it does not justify the rape in cover price. this event to me is what these types of dj's are all about. money.

^^ if it wasn't trance it'd be electro and if it wasn't electro it'd be minimal (see today) and if it wasn't minimal....... can't we all just get along?

I recommend some decent therapy... Lobotomy maybe?

How can a 12-yr-old cough up that much money to be able to wave his arms at the #1 DJ in da wooooooorld? Only by selling drugs or stealing car radio's. In other words, Ti?sto stimulates juvinile delinquency (stay away from that man, anonin!!!)

LMAO! You have to be kidding me that you went there...you are so getting your a@@ kicked!! :Gotcha:

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

Tiesto is here in San Diego Friday night @ $40 advance. Sold out for weeks. He has scheduled an additional show later that night/morning in Rosarito Beach Mexico for $25 advance.

PVD is here the following day Saturday with advanced for $35 at the same venue (4th & B). Tickets still available.

Warren, Lawler and Howells will be here in June all seperate weekend dates/same venue with advanced $15 each.

?

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

^^^ see! it's more because he is in Toronto....they always charge a lot when he is here...its the clubs not him IMO

I wish lawler was only $15 when he is here sigh

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

unfortunately, the reason he charges so much is because he can

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

i saw lawler for only $10 :D

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

yea im just about all trance bashing'ed out, who really gives a shit what people do or listen to

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

let the fools spend their money. I listen to cheap DJs

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

Way to go Tiesto.. Dick.. that is worse then when I saw an interview of Barbara Streisand saying "she hates her music and doesn't know the names of her own songs."

Not about the music at all.

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

4 out of 5 shows in NYC that I go to I dont ever have to pay jack shit... for Sasha and DIgweed I paid $40 advance and I think that is the most I have shelled out for a show in 2 years. Sasha tickets are usually 20 bucks max presale here too... Tiesto @ the same venue for 2 nights in a row $60 presale... WTF? For a dj who plays the same tired fucking tracks since 1998, and doesnt even do a Live PA or anything that requires special equiptment that is soooooooooooooo pathetic.

Why not order tickets to get raped while you are at it?

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

Is this story true or something somebody made up? If I was a Tiesto fan(which I'm not) and I found out that his promoters pulled that shit I would be fuking PISSED! I would also like the link to wherever that was posted if it is true. Acually I wouldn't put it past any promoter to pull some shit like that.

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

no if Barney said it has to be true.

couldnt have said it better. +10

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

I've been to Crobar for a Sasha and Digweed party and the crowd was fuking insane!! a bunch of rude SOB's. Can you imagine all the candy ravers and fuk heads there for Tiesto? I wouldn't go to that shit if you paid me 100.00 to get into the club and bought my drinks and drugs all night.

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

I paid 60 or so to see a marathon digweed set on NYE, but that was really pushing it.

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

exactly...as I see it this story is a load of crap. I will go find the press release put out by Circa as to why the venue was changed. I don't believe this story for a second
