I agree they know we will pay it so they make it that price...i buy my tickets before hand so then when i get there mu spending money is not taken up by ticket money
It's a fine balance with ticket prices. I'm very lucky in that I only go for three or four days and have decent disposable income at my disposal to enjoy the island to its max at present. But Solomun has priced me out at 73 euro. I could afford it but that price is just taking the piss for what the night is. He's clearly seeking to make hay as the sun shines and that's fair enough. But I will remember this when I see him advertised to play at es paradis for 20 Euro in a few years time. I won't be going to that either.
I don't have a bonfire on and I think you miss the point. Some djs manage to remain current. Some don't. Solomun is currently attempting to cash in on his current status as flavour of the month. And that's fine. But if he doesn't retain that currency he will soon find himself slipping down the pay scales. The dj industry is littered with with such characters over the last three decades. Go and take a look. Time will tell. I'd wish him luck but I won't because I think he's taking the piss. And I like his dj style. But I won't be be paying 73 euro even though I am lucky enough to be able to afford when I'm in Ibiza to hear him play with one of his mates.
He's obviously an important dj to you and I like a lot of his sets. Premier league? He maybe currently and he maybe in Ibiza, albeit in a medium size venue. Will be interesting to see if he can maintain premier league status you think he has achieved. In fact it will be interesting to see if he needs to retain that status given his current wage packet. He isn't the world wide draw of the djs you mention yet. He milks the summer in Ibiza and the festival scene. And if I were him I'd do the same! But let's not kid ourselves, he's not selling out the bigger venues in Ibiza on his own and week on week he's not selling out world wide clubs. He's popular right now and has been for two or three years. It's taken the others you mentioned over two decades to maintain premier league status and endure time. Maybe Solomun will. Maybe he won't.
Great for NYC. Those djs have sold out venues for over two decades. Solomun has been popular for two or three years. The point is none of us know if he will endure and remain current like those djs. He's the current flavour of the month. Tell me how Keoki is selling out NYC venues at present?
That's the point, right now. Oakenfold, judge jules, Mark spoon, taucher, Sanchez, morales, numerous garage djs, et al were right now and many of them endured for many years. Now where are they?
Exactly.
