Well done Paul!! This is how you make your money - lure us with free tickets for the first 3 Anthems this year... then - only sell them for the big one. I knew you were a crazy, coniving, blood thirsty business man under all that niceness Wink

If you received a discount pre-release ticket offer in the mail, the offer runs out on this Saturday at close of business. Please take advantage, NOW, as you'll be saving yourself over $15 on 2 tickets Wink

Don't say I didn't warn you!

So is that $30+ bf for each ticket?

So if I buy 2 tix its gonna be nearly $70 for local DJ's? Hmmm! Not sure I want to part with that to see locals I can see most weeks for next to nothing.

Probably seek alternative entertainment if that is the case! Hope its a good night tho'

BUT THATS NOT THE POINT !
I dont care who plays unless its system ad and excitement
the point is to hear the tunes that opened my eyes to this way of life ,when I was still a teenager
but if you were not there it may seem steep
for me I am too scared to miss out!

Spoken in true raver mindset!

I think back to the good old days where locals were the focus of the night and did a better job than the internationals.

Opps, that's the same now...

IMO Local DJs know what the Adelaide punter wants more than some self endulgent guest from OS.

I do agree with you Paul in a lot of cases. I have seen some pretty average International DJ's. But it is difficult to compete with Traffic the other week where Paul Glazby and Ben Stevens played for $10 entry fee. (Probably the world's best hard dance DJ and the best up and coming one!) IMHO

Yes, it was nice of myself, oddy and blake to deliver a $10 international Wink But not all playing fields are even and the artist fee is not the only cost affecting a show.

I would guess most of the hundred plus tickets that have been sold, were to people going out in 1990-1995 whom enjoyed Arkaba and possess strong memories of it!

Guess this is not you Smilie I hope you find something exciting to go to!

Personally this will the best anthems show I've every put-on because the Ark means so much to me!

I am sure the show will be a great success, and will be great for a lot of the originals to relive some great memories.

I usually go out to see DJ's I want to see. It is not the dollars either (I have been to Melbourne 8 times in the last 18 months or so for parties) - as it is the only way I get to see a lot of the DJ's I want to see.

Each to their own! Variety is the spice of life!

You'd be hard pressed to find someone who does.

Then again, when was the last time he was around town? Would hav e been 1992 that he escaped...
