I love you guise from BeatDrop, but I feel a little jipped for being asked for 30$ for Uprise for first batch of presales.

Each party has progressively been getting more and more expensive. I was thinking about it, and I think it's because crews are trying to get bigger and bigger. The rave scene is exploding imo. They need to accommodate for more people showing up.

our 3 parties were meant to be small "underground" 1 room parties. Uprise has out of the country/state headliners. our entire 1st stage are headliners. You usually see one or MAYBE two of those people at other parties and they charge more than $30+ to just see those two headliners. we have over 14+ headliners! and all of them need a plane tickets/hotel room to stay. and $30 was not the first batch of tickets that we released. they were $20 before. they were for awhile. we even offered people and additional free ticket for buying in particular days. And as for the sound, my career is based off of audio, I'm VERY stingy when it comes to sound setup (ask Winter), Uprise will have the best sound system that best suits the room. Some people need to realize that just having a stack of speakers along each other, doesnt mean that it has the best sound, louder doesnt mean better.

and as for why the events have been getting more and more expensive is because of accommodations. Such as Hardcore Elysium, we brought out Impact, revived venue, Sparky Lighting, security, and Turbo sound.

as for Uprise: a Brand NEW venue in LA..BIGGER than the Hudson!, like i said earlier over 14+ headliner djs, lighting companies, security, decorations, etc, etc.
the door price WILL NOT go over $45 if even $40.

honestly, to have over 14+ headliners, i think $30 is an awesome deal.

rogue, this was not directy aimed towards you, but generally to everyone.

LOCATION
So you want info about the venue do you? Well after searching through several beautiful venues in Los Angeles we ran into this beauty. A permitted venue just a few minutes drive from the heart of LA, and right off of a major highway.

This place is huge...with over 27,000 square feet of art and music, this place just cant be beat. It houses several beautifully decorated areas;

A 16,000 square foot main stage warehouse-like area.
A 5,000 square foot second area.
A 3,000 square foot chill area.
A beautiful outdoor area for smoking or getting some fresh air.
On top of that, it offers a secure 1000 car parking lot, you wont be driving around for 20 minutes trying to locate a spot on the street, or stuck paying $10.00 for a night in the parking garage.

also this is no longer "underground" status, there is gonna be over 1,500 people there. pretty sure tickets were also a little bit under 30 dollars right before how sweet. either way, worth it in my opinion. ive spent far more on far less.

then you shouldnt have had the child until you were financially stable, which obviously you arent if you cant afford to go to a 50 dollar rave because you have to buy your child diapers or whatever. poor planning.

People shouldn't ever think 50 bucks isn't a lot for a rave. The worldwide rave scene was founded on a scene that wasn't out for major profit and advertising. It was founded on $5-10 parties and a community that shared as much as possible with each other to make the scene the most positive it possibly can be.

The ONLY reason we are paying these high of prices right now is 1) Venue owners raping us because they can, since we needed a few new secure locations to get back on track in 2008. and 2) Greedy promoters that are making an absolute killing on some of these parties. I won't name names but one crew has already taken in over a hundred thousand dollars profit from parties... in 2008 alone.


Prices will not stay this high forever, at least in the 'real' underground scene. I no longer consider parties at places like the Hudson or especially the Massives to be real underground raves. I still go to them, and I love the Hudson myself (although once again I wouldn't pay the price If I had to), but the price that people are paying right now should not really be justified, especially with a bunch of these lineups only containing locals and nationwide (i.e. non-international) DJ's.

People shouldn't ever think 50 bucks isn't a lot for a rave. The worldwide rave scene was founded on free parties, $5 parties, and well, anything below $20 bucks unless there is a major headliner.
