Just me or far less people seem to be going this year ?

Dunno if anyone else noticed but this board usually by now has quite a few posts about people going to Ibz or people who want to meet in Ibz this year.

At the moment though it seems pretty dead. Indication of a less populous Ibiza this year? Credit crunch really hitting people that bad? (cant say its affected me much at all.)

Looks like it is the credit crunch. Over here in Benidorm, it's the same, almost easter and we should be buzzing by now, but we're not!!!
 
my decision to not go back was more to do with the new laws rather than the money but it definitely did seem to cos more last summer so this one will be well expensive
 
im sure the so called credit crunch and the drastic drop inthe exchange rate will put a lot of people going abroad in the euro zone this year not just ibiza. If your paying for accomodation in Pounds, then you will see a marked increase in the cost of your holiday compared to last year.

I travel to ibiza three times each year, each time by DIY, have been doing so for over ten years and this is the first year i have really noticed a dramatic increase in how much it is going to cost me compared to previsou ventures.

I suppose this will only effect the british as we dont get paid in euros:)
 
I think a lot of people are leaving their holiday plans 'til a bit later and of course because the media says package holidays are en vogue then the herd follows - which means more people will be going to Greece, Turkey etc because that's where the big operators have more capacity.

This summer might be a bit quieter but don't worry folks its quality not quantity that counts! Less tourists might make the clubs, hotels, bars etc etc 'work' that bit harder for those of us who do go.
 
Agreed. I actually hope it is a bit quieter as some of the club nights I went to last year were your typical arms to the side/cant move crap.

Hopefully its the chavvy beer twats that cant afford to go this year! Less of them anywhere is a good thing imo :)

This will be my first year going to Ibiza, and I think I am going to like that there are less people going. I mean, I don't feel like having 10000 people crammed into a small room, sweating all up on me unless they are women. Fine looking women lol...
 
Yeah, I agree with what a few other people have already said here.

I'm anticipating there being fewer tourists on the island this summer, but I see that as a good thing on a number of levels. For a start, the extra expense means a greater percentage of the people that go will be serious, passionate clubbers and electronic music fans, people who don't care how much it costs them to see their favourite DJs perform on the greatest stages in the world. And, in turn, they'll be fewer beer boys who are there on one massive, week long, drinking competition. A club doesn't necessarily need to be packed to the absolute rafters to create a white hot atmosphere. As V-Eye-Con said, quality over quantity. The quality of a crowd is in the crowd's attitude, not in the crowd's size.

And with smaller club promoters and bars fighting a little harder for people's custom, and with DJs being confronted by better quality, more "up for it" crowds, the island might claw back a bit more of that magic that made it the capital of clubbing in the first place - the magic that so many have claimed has been squeezed out by cheesey, commercialism and local partypooping.

This is all speculation at this point, but I do think reduced numbers is more likely to have a positive effect than a negative one. Here's hoping.
 
I don't think forum activity is the best indicator. The forum has been quieter since last autumn.

I blame Facebook!

Exactly, and the US etc. Basically, as you say, anyone already utilising the € as their country's currency are not going to be affected as much.

Its not the money so much that's stopping me going this year, its just the music that's not doing it for me that much - nothing that's floating my boat... :confused:
