I met a really tall German(?) man with his wife at Afterlife closing which was very busy. My group had only managed to get to about where the recording equipment was. He was being pushed around alot so we made a pact to not let anyone pass in between us, but let people out no problem. It worked really well. Anyway at about 4.30am he said "I've got to go, I'm 62!!" I said "SO??? They are just getting going!" He gave us a packet of Haribo to share and was on his way. This is Ibiza 😍

I was standing by the front, near the entrance to the VIP for tale of us closing = man the bouncers there treat the normal punters pretty badly, anyone that wanted to go-in/leave to the vip/tables section, they would march down into the crowd and push all the those on the dance floor out of the way. I overall didn't find it too horrific but was certainly very busy.

Any more gossip on Halloween parties? Should Pikes not have announced theirs by now? Can we expect other major parties? It happens to be my birthday on 31/10 and I’ll be on the island…🎃

If an incident incide an oversold club happends and there is a stampede on top of the incident when people want to get out as fast as possible no matter what, who is responsible then.. My good guess is no-one.

In the Netherlands there was a stabbing incident at Solid Grooves festival. One person died.
In the aftermath it turned out they scanned 7500 tickets, where they had a permit for 5000. Besides that there were lots of people who got in illegally, amongst them was the stabber. The management of Apenkooi Events (Strafwerk, DGTL, Solid Grooves) was recently fired and all their events are now restricted and strongly controlled for ADE> They even had to cancel sold tickets last week.
So if something happens like a stampede or whatever...there's certainly a chance club owners are to blame. Depends on how the police / local gov do their job...
 
Grego’s post is bizarre. I don’t mind a crowded club, but there is a point where too crowded hurts the party. If you can’t move, dance, constantly being bumped into, can’t get a drink or go to the toilets…..the party sucks. I’ve literally left parties because of this and I’m a pretty big dude. This is really not complicated and overselling like this is based on greed and not wanting to throw the best party possible. Totally avoidable.

Was thinking about flying down spontaneously for Amnesia closing but 400€ for the VIP ticket (which is just the regular balcony ticket plus 3 drinks 🤔 it seems not even speedier entry) is steep…
But flying without confirmed ticket seems to risky…

Difficult one.

Ridiculous pricing and its a reason im starting to go off the island. 3 drinks is what 75euro ish? So its 325euro for a few hours of music and to not be packed in like a sardine.

But supply and demand, and people will pay...

I suppose all we can say is that everyone has the information they need right? You know what nights are going to be rammed, you know places like Chinois and Akasha will be roomy and not will never allow too many people in. You know Hi will be busy, and what the crowd will be like. You know Pacha (few exceptions) is a better experience. Everyone has the information on here, or elsewhere to make their informed choices. Combine a packed out DC10 with Akasha that next night which is more like partying in a private club. Do a festival experience at Ushuaia and then move onto Underground with 100 people in it! Choice is everywhere...

Agree 100%

My 2 pennies worth on this..
This topic caused my friends to discuss this yesterday. We couldn't properly remember if clubs felt this packed when we first came to ibiza in the early 00s. We did all agree as younger clubbers it probably wouldn't bother us as much in any case. It's only natural as we get older we are just after more comfortable surroundings.

These days, like was commented above, we just know to pick and chose the times and venues to miss the worst cases.. avoid late July August, avoid Tale of Us at Hi, chill out in DC-10 Garden between 1 and 3... We now rarely have these moments in clubs where we feel crushed.

Of course you could argue its sad you simply can't chose to go to see your favourite djs, at any venue, whenever you want, but if you plan well, you can get pretty close to that scenario.
 
Was at Destino for a couple of hours last night for Luciano…
Been a few times over the years and love the setup and sound system..

In terms of last night, it was busy but not rammed, mixture of age groups and everyone was having a great time - no pushing/crushing…

It was also good to bump into Stivi - thanks! hopefully our paths will cross again next year 👏🏻
