Are you the type that spends loads of money this day??
personally I just happend to spend money in food and drinks. My friends and I do a private dinner party , we start about 7 in the affternoon , we cook all together, it's part of the celebration !!!! drink aswell :lol: :lol: :lol: and then we rush to get ready to be well dressed and makeup for dinner time. I normally don't buy any special clothes and I do not go to club partys etc, so it's just the money of the private party.
 
We usually go clubbing, so factor in the cost of whatever over-priced club ticket we buy and add lots of drinks and that's what we spend.

My most expensive New Years Eve over the past decade (assuming you exclude the cost of traveling somewhere for vacation) has to have been at The Cross in London for 2003/04. Miami 2004/05 is a close second because we went out to a fancy dinner before going to Space.

The cheapest was also London, in 1999/00 when we bought some drinks and partied outside across the river from Big Ben.
 
Tbh we probably don't spend that much money on NYE than any other wkend, normally the only thing we spend more money on is club tickets cos they're often tripled in price from a normal club night. The drink and everything else well we spend that amount on a normal wkend. This year tho we're doing secretsundaze on NYE and then The End on New Years Day which is a cheap as chips £15 which means more money to spend on a 'cruise' :D :lol:

I think I was there, was it Jazzy M playing a classics set in the main room??

My most expensive NYE was probably the Millennium when we went to Ibiza, it was £600 but that included flights, the hotel, entrance to 3 club nights and transport from hotel to club and considering most clubs in London were charging £100 entrance :roll: plus taxis were charging triple price etc, in comparison it was cheaper to get out the country as it was actually a money saving initiative :lol:
 
If you pre-purchase tickets I suppose there's not such a huge difference... we bought ours at the door at The Cross :? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed to me they boosted the drink prices a bit as well.

To be honest, I remember jack-all about who played what that night :lol: :oops: :lol: I have pictures, and some vague memories.

If you include overall travel costs, then our New Years week in Miami last year takes over as most expensive NYE. The college American Football championship was in town that week so every South Beach hotel doubled their price. Eating out was expensive, and my rental car was a complete rip-off :evil:

I think our tickets were £30 (which I spose considering it's normally £15 to get into The Cross and there wasn't any 'big-name' DJs there could be considered a bit of a rip-off but is pretty standard for NYE in London) What did they charge on the door?? Most clubs nights are tickets only on NYE so they probably took the piss for anyone wanting to pay on the door :roll:

Clubs don't normally put up drinks prices on NYE, we're just used to paying £6 for a glass of wine or £8 for a vodka in this country and think it's normal :roll: whereas you're used to getting a pint of vodka for about 3 rubles (I don't know how much a ruble is worth so excuse my ignorance if 3 rubles = £50 or something :oops: :lol: ;) )
 
this year is gonna be quite an expensive one, tickets for pushca have been £40, then there'll be drinks and special things, and on top of that my costume, which at the moment does not exist, and I have a feeling it might never... :cry:

hoping to keep the whole night under about £150

then there is new years day at the end, which'll end up being another £60 or so undoubtably (if I actually make it)

generally it's fun to make a night of it, but you are continuously ripped off like mugs :lol:

It was at least £45 each at the door... I think... for some reason it seems like it was more.

The club the missus and I were at on Saturday night charges the equivalent of £4 per 33ml beer and £8 for a mixed drink. We're quite used to expensive drinks!

Perhaps we just drank a lot that night... I just remember burning through cash and then not being pleased with my credit card bill :lol:

They obviously saw you coming and thought 'look at that American who knows nothing about clubbing, let's charge £100 on the door' :lol: ;)

re: The Cross, we actually wanted to go to the party at The End but nobody made up their minds until the last minute (it was us and another couple) and we couldn't pre-purchase tickets through the agencies on the day for some reason. So, when we got to the End we watched as the group about 5 people in front of us bought the last available tickets :evil: So, the Cross it was :lol:

If we were in London this year, we'd probably do Canvas but the plan now is Club Panama in Amsterdam for Deep Dish (Sharam) 8)
(45 euro tickets, if memory serves!)

Yup, £30 it was. Sold to the lady in the Green Parker outside BrondesAge Bar on Kilburn High Road if I remember rightly.

And 'Dempsey & Buckley' is quite a big name :lol:

Errr I still don't understand, put it into Babs language if I give you £10 ho many rubles will you give to me ;)

That sounds like a damn tasty NYE (Sharam is so the better one) :D

PMSL, so true, you met me at Kilburn station (or some other likewise station) and I couldn't walk :lol:

It's all about D&B ;)
 
The exchange rates above are rubles per ___. So, at 50.7337 RUR/GBP, you would have 507 rubles for 10 pounds.


Sharam is definitely the better one. Totally looking forward to that night. Redanka is also playing that party.

Petraxx said there's a Cocoon night while we're in Amster as well, so there's definitely some clubbing to be done this holiday season.

Did you happen to wander into the middle room at all Morbster? Notice a tall white guy with a side-show bob style barnet attempting to play, whilst a good looking swine with a crest was almost dragged from the booth by an army of DJ groupies? :lol:
 
I cant stand new years eve. Too expensive, everywhere is packed and usually full of idiots and it always kicks off wherever you go.

Think im actually working this NYE though :( if not, i'll probably just be down the pub with my good mates ahving a laugh.
