I would have assumed there was a limit of how many tickets you can buy..like 4 per person. A promoter allowing someone to buy 23 tickets is enabling a scalper to make money off their event. If I was Plush and/or Twisted, I would be more aware over the possibility of lost revenue. Money that has effectively left their pocket for the hands of someone who has no risk associated with the event. Maybe a learning for next time. |

Holy sheat… lots of activity in this thread since I last posted.
My apologies for not looking here daily as the combination of working full time during the day and then Twisted stuff on top of that keeps me busy.
Let me first highlight a few things:
1.) This show is both a Plush AND Twisted show… from DAY ONE I have said that in all of my posts and in all cases, put Plush BEFORE Twisted in the billings. Having said that, Twisted just one promoter involved in ultimately selling tickets and promoting the show. So… what does that mean, well it means Plush had COMPLETE control of the number of tickets released. In fact, the delay in releasing tickets out to Vancouver stores was Plush’s in getting these tickets printed NOT TWISTED’s. To further, we don’t even have control over ticket pricing, sound and even lighting of this show. Twisted is simply assisting with the promotion of this PvD show.
2.) 400 pre-sale tickets were released to Clubvibes. This literally sold out in a week’s time. After that point, 50 tickets were then released to each store all of which un-predictably sold out in record time. Why? Although Twisted had asked for there to be a limit to the amount of tickets sold to each person, it is difficult for the stores to police this. As a result, the tickets in stores were purchased in bulk very quickly. This was further amplified by the fact PvD himself hasn’t been here in ages and people are extremely excited to see him.
3.) Learn to trust systems like Clubvibes. The reality is they are a legal, registered company with fiscal, financial and moral responsibilities to the public. If in anyway you are ripped off, you can report this activity to your credit card company and even the Better Business Bureau. Please do not bitch at us, if in your mind, you don’t trust Clubvibes.com as they were an exclusive ticket partner for this show… Again, Plush choose them to be this partner, not Twisted. Clubvibes is a business entity and is not just a bunch of punks running a PC in a garage. They are a legitimate business.
To those who were unable to get tickets due to the delay in getting them to stores, our apologies as again, that was beyond our control.
To all those that purchased tickets early, thank-you very much for your support and thanks for your continued support of Twisted and Twisted-related events. |

You think rather highly of yourself dont you :rolleyes:
What have you done for the scene in Vancouver, please enlighten us on how you are diffrent from anyone else who attends events in our city.
That's funny how you consider yourself such a big part of the Vancouver 'trance' community. I recall seeing you at Viva once in 3+ years, near the very tail end of things to be exact. Never have you shown support to my night or any of the local trance djs in this city. Come out for all the big names, you deserve a medal! By all means, keep up the great work :rolleyes:
How does your so called knowledge of music give you any more right to be at a party that anyone else? Again, please enlighten me as to why you think you're so ing special. Recognized for what?
I can apreciate that your upset you don't have a ticket, but stop acting like a CHILD. I'm sure they'll be an explanation as to why Kraig forgot to make a post on TA, he's very busy with his job and personal life, and it was probably an honest mistake that he forgot to post the info here. I'm sure he'll do his best to make things up to the TA's and explain things when he comes on this forum. |
Whoa, DUDE, at no point do I make any reference to myself single handedly pushing the trance scene forward in Vancouver. Just because I've come to one of Your shows at Viva, doesn't make me any less benficial to the community.
I DON'T just come down to see the big names, I DON'T have the option to go to Viva every weekend, I DON'T even have the option to party every weekend, so DON'T take it out on me because I'm not "living" in the Vancouver. If I had my choice, I'd probably have been out to every one of your nights, because I appreciate the talent people like you have brought to town.... and appreciate it even more when I find out about it in enough time for people like me to have a chance to purchase tickets. I don't have a credit card to purchase online, I have to wait a week, or even 2, before I can roll into a record store and buy a ticket.
"OUR" trance knowledge does not give us any more reason to party more than anyone else, I'm simply stating the fact that Tranceaddict is not getting recognized for being 'so ing special', when in fact we truly are looked at as strong trance supporters, as opposed to fnk where there is support for all genres of music.
I don't know why all the sudden you've put this personal attack on me, I never mentioned that "I" should be special, but rather TA as a community should be getting recognizied, alright!
Not everyone is as priviledged as you may think. Chill out man. I'm pissed about the fact that we... "WE"... have been let down, and it's time to start thinking about where loyalties lie, and we should not be left off that list.
I understand that Kraig may have forgot to inform us about the tickets, maybe he does have a job and personal life to think about, understandable... but I don't see why it's so hard to open more than 1 window and copy and paste to every site that needs to know.... and please, it's not a personal attack on Kraig either, it's a mistake he made, and we all have to live with it. |

this is turning into a flamming thread heh
firstly, my appologies to kraig and twisted for not getting my facts straight. in my defense, people in this city are conditioned to know and thing that the promoter is behind every aspect of an event (including previous incidents of overselling a party and faking tickets. i'm not pointing fingers at anyone, we all know a number of promoters in vancouver have done this in the past ;) )
as for commodore holding more people than plush, i believe both of their legal capacities are 1000 people.
i'm not saying i dont entirely trust clubvibes or clubzone but between them and me there's lots of other places information goes thru. audiojelly is a respected company, yet after buying some stuff from them i had some pretty weird charges on my card made in brazil. like naz said, even tho things may look secure, there's a chance they arent |
