el brujo Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 well there are many big names not only simon but still it is expensive who do they want to come clubber kids or freaks who the hell can have 1 week off in the middle of the year and have that much money hehe price effects the crowd, the crowd effects the vibe, the vibe is the whole party still as it is officially declared i dont expect they would lower the prices one thing is, it is for a week, so nearly like 2 festivals. In a country as cheap as Turkey still i believe they could ve done better then that, but i am positive about this festival @agia_igoumeni it is not done by turkish peopel so it doesnt matter if you re TOO european for us at the end I have lived in both countries and have not seen much difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moni Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 anyway i checked more forums everybody is disappointed with the ticket prices. later i'm gonna go on the soulclipse forum and see what people say there. with these prices, they might not sell enough to pay for that line-up ...

Tox Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 That's not cheap for sure, but Rhythms of Peace was also 100€ at the door & they didn't even have speakers the first 2 days of the fetival & only half of the line up actually played. So, if paying a little more meanis this will be professionally organised, I don't mind al thàt much. Since we already booked our airplane, we'r just gonna buy the first tickets we can here in Belgium. No use in waiting until it's 180€, if you know you're going to go there anyway... My reasons for going besides the Eclipse: Absolum - 3D Vision Andromeda - Spiral Trax Atmos - Spiral Trax Atomic Pulse - BNE Echotek - Time Stretch Hallucinogen - Twisted Lish - Com.Pact Midi Miliz/Spirallianz - G+ / Boshke Beats Phony Orphants - Iboga Protoculture - Nano Rinkadink - Alchemy Son Kite - Digital Structures S-Range - Spiral Trax / Liquid Ticon - Digital Structures Wizzy Noise - Harmonia/Exposure X-Dream - Boshke Beats / Gravity Plus DJ's Anti - Spiral Trax / ACDC Beckers - Sprout D-nox - Sprout / Plastik Park Eduardo - Neurobiotic Kristian - Phantasm / Antiworld Pena - Flow Sally Doolally - Plastik Park Shane Goby - Alchemy Stella Nutella - Sweden I seriously doubt that Boom Festival'06 will do better than this!

el brujo Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 well once again the organizers are not turkish the organizers are Indigokids they have turkish support as well as many other I guess And agia_igoumeni you re totally right about the greek-european-turk thing I wish there was Juno too but who knows still they re adding names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moni Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 ok, so the organisers are not turkish do you know where they are from brujo? not that it really matters ... i'm just curious anyway, i still depend on my greek and serbian and maybe israeli friends on this festival. so i might find myself in the situation to pay at the gate. so Tox, if i go there and have to pay say .. maybe 100 euro for 3 days, then i'll be a little annoyed. plus i don't expect prices for food and beverages inside the festival to be at turkish level .. the festival takes place in eastern europe. if they want many eastern europeans to come .. they should consider that an eastern european may earn between 100 - 300 euro/month. you can't both live and do an expensive festival. maybe they DON'T want eastern europeans to show up at the festival actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tox Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I totally agree with you Moni! But the artists won't charge a "Turkish booking fee" either, but just the same as always. The food-prices should be OK I guess? Even if they sell it at 2x or 3x the normal price (again like at R.O.P. in Morocco) it will only half of what you'd pay in Western Europe. But to be totally fair they should indeed take the less fortunate countries into account. Maybe you can send an e-mail to the organisation, clarifying your opinion?

el brujo Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 that email has been sent by a fellow turkish friend and they answered, someone named Hillary they said they only got compliments from turkey about the ticket prices and couldnt understand it as we dont even pay travelling expenses ok they are making the festival so they are following their path but I do not believe higher ticket prices means a quality crowd (this looks like the idea behind it) She also wrote this is nearly the half of the line up so they spend quite a lot on booking- She also remarks you shoud compare this festival to other eclipse events not only psy festivals and she says the price is competetive well i have only positive feelings about this party so hard for me to think somehtings wrong but prices just caused me some pain, not because I cant pain, but because i know some friends, it looks like as I am the one who is working i ll need to get a few tickets for my mates ps. maybe I am wrong, but thinking of 2003 morocco where 2 parties took place one of them 100 euro and the second one free the second was way ahead of the first one (the free one) I wish they were both good but then again its my point of view the first one had big artists whereas the second one was by goafreaks from around the world, again thats two different things a psy festival and a goaparty... this has gotto be a nother topic I ll cut it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moni Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 But to be totally fair they should indeed take the less fortunate countries into account. Maybe you can send an e-mail to the organisation, clarifying your opinion? 386466[/snapback] umm .. once they set the prices, i doubt they will change anything. so that's it. i just know i won't be rushing into buying my ticket. plus i'm waiting for package prices, as i would only be able to attend 3 days of festival anyway. they said they only got compliments from turkey about the ticket prices 386477[/snapback] surely nobody would speak bad about their own festival, but allow me to not belive this really.. I do not believe higher ticket prices means a quality crowd (this looks like the idea behind it) 386477[/snapback] quality crowd? what the f*ck is that supposed to mean??? She also wrote this is nearly the half of the line up so they spend quite a lot on booking 386477[/snapback] 90% of that line-up will also be available during summer, in many festivals. it's not the end of the world .. She also remarks you shoud compare this festival to other eclipse events not only psy festivals and she says the price is competetive 386477[/snapback] the eclipse will last .. how much .. one hour? surely not one week. this is a festival with an eclipse event inside. not the other way around. in the end, i hope they will reach their objectives, whichever they are. i'll go, if i can afford it. even if with my financial situation maybe i don't qualify for "quality crowd" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heva Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 180 euros on the door???? WTF????? *falls off chair* They serious??? That's the most expensive festival I have ever heard of..... And I agree with the sentiments about cost of tickets and 'quality crowd'. That's bollocks. 'Quality crowd' what's that all about? If you aren't 'trance enough' you can't come?? Meh. I'm going, coz I've booked my flights, and I meeting some old friends there who I have not seen for years. And hopefully it will be amazing! But like, the ticket price is bonkers! I'm gonna have to eat lentils from now until then! *gets back on chair* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway,im probably not coming so you can forget about me.Its not that i cant get that money,i dont want to spend them for a festival.We spent 60€ for Samothraki this summer and we still regret it.I would pay 180€ for the best festival ever with 20000 people,100 live acts and 4 stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el brujo Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 well it looks like its gonna be the best festival ever if you re looking for millions of live acts a lot of people but not with 4 stages I guess cmon man you re in greece get your ticket for 90 and come lets all dance together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 did you see that????? http://www.soulclipse.com/ the dates have changed its March 27- April 2 hope they dont change it again, alot of people have allready booked flights for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el brujo Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 but they didnt change it in a way like moving the dates they added one more day to the end so its not like you have a day off and miss another one you miss the extra day but still would hurt I hope not many people were on tight schedule I am ashamed to say but I would actually be happy even if they added another day, the longer the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goannes Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 This is the mail I got back, after mailing them about the ticketprice. Pretty sincere I guess. I'm still going! Hello there, Thanx for your mail & the interest in the festival. I'll try to explain to ya the reason of this price.. 1st of all this is not your common festival this happens once in about every 18months..as ya know..its alot of aspects to take care of such as providing the safety glass alot of political issues in Turkey and a huge line up .. What is on the website is not even half... It will all be announced very shortly.. Also if you look at the prices of the other eclipse festivals we are not more expensive then the them...As for Samotraki festival i was there and i payed 160 euros and that was 3 years ago.. and that was just a festival..no eclipse happening there..but alot of cops.. ..and if ya think its to expensive ya can buy the tickets now..hope this helps.. thanx again..Boom!! luv & smiles..Hilla IndigoKids -- See ya on the dance floor.. ONE LOVE... Espcially this part "What is on the website is not even half... It will all be announced very shortly.." makes me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
