The building formerly known as Space --> HÏ Ibiza

it's a tricky one. ultimately you want the right people in but you don't want it to be too cliquey, you want it to be democratic but you don't want scallies in on the rob, you want to be inclusive but you only want people who 'get it', you don't want to discriminate against straight people at a gay club but you don't want to dilute the vibe, so the whole issue of exclusivity is really complex. I think raves were a lot more inclusive than clubs, but then clubbers thought ravers were teds and ravers thought clubbers were uptight. maybe it has all converged a bit now, but there will always a hierarchy and snobbery because ultimately everyone wants to feel uniquely special and what is more exciting than receiving a special password?
you make some fair points, but specifically re vip in ibz ; you can actually pay yourself into these places regardless of whether you're a scally on the rob or not. So it's less about getting the right people in, and more about simply making more money. A Berghain style entry policy is one thing, and does have merit. But a policy that differentiates between people, simply based on whether they can afford to pay more money, has no place in clubbing.

Call me old fashioned, but words like hierarchy, when we're talking about going to a club to dance, just leave me cold.

We already have VIP areas, I get that they're here to stay, but I just think we should be wary of Hi (back on topic!) bringing even more in.

:(:(:(:(
 
premier etage WAS the whole upstairs area. but yeah, access to that will only be for table clients AFAIK. but it's not all bad news as even without being a vip you will still be able to have a smoke somewhere

Really? I meant up the stairs from main room out to the open air bit with a bar and sometimes a dj in the corner.

I don't smoke, but it's good to have somewhere to cool down & chat to random people:)
 
that was the premier etage yes
Oh right , I always thought it was the balcony bit overlooking the main floor.:rolleyes:

Shame access is going to be vip only. Sometimes I feel the whole club should be vip as standard, and you have to pay for access to the "pleb" areas! o_O
 
just thursdays and sundays missing now in the hï weekly line up...
Hopefully something decent comes up because so far nothing is screaming out at me to make an appearance there this year! Don't suppose your big Sunday thing is the Sunday at Hi is it?
