Will Santa be there?

Ive got goosebumps already CANT WAIT! all my exams pretty much over by then too

I would actually go but i've got a mates 18th to attend to, which has an 80's theme, so yeah...should be all dressed up. Since i'll most likely be driving and they're going to town afterwards, I may came for the latter part of YBR.

Argh...I leave to go for a holiday on the 26th -.-''
Anyways, if I could go, looks like I'd stay in the 'second room' all night...that is one tight line up.

We have been in contact with santa.. Hes a bit busy getting ready for Christmas But He said he would plan to make a cameo @ our party and maybe even bring early christmas presents for good little boys and girls that are dancing hard!!!....

Is there gonna b tickets presale? or missed the moment sayin about that

nope, theres no presales this time due to lack of demand last time. loads of room though but yeah, may be queues so best to be earlish

Lack of demand? Er...you were outside BK, it's not like they were official presales

I'm sure if you listed them at Sounds or somewhere then you'd get them sold

Ticket sales are a hard concept. For example, if YBR were to make $15 tickets available officially through Sounds / Ticketek etc.. They can't touch the money until the day after the event. So, for example if they sold 100 x $1500, that's $1500 that a) has to be paid into a company account b) is taxable c) comes with booking fees, inside fees, credit card fees and manufacturing fees (printing) and d) the money will be kept in a trust and won't be available until the day after the event.

Now most wouldn't consider that an issue, but when $1500 pays all your dj's cash-in-hand it makes things a lot harder when you have to wait a day, just to pay them..

Also, the booking fees are generally $2 - so that brings your $15 ticket price to $17. Of your $15 generally there is a $1 or $2 inside fee from the Ticketing company.. So that leaves you with $13. Then if people decide to use Credit card, expect another 2% fee incurred.

What Callanderkid did last time is the easiest option - albeit its open to fraudalent activities and isn't as professional as one would hope, but it served its purpose.

I'm confident YBR will be successful even without the Ticket sales.. I guess you just gotta roll-in early to avoid the cues

couldnt of put it better my self.

also last time was a bit of a test to see how many sold and how popular it was. We realise we would sell more through a proper agent but basically its not worth it with the low numbers we would sell.

Also last time we didnt sell out on the night. if numbers grow again and we get to a point where we will, we certainly will look at presales again.

I put that down to the new venue. This time people know where it is

Yeah I know what you mean, just saying that selling presales outside BK at differing times wouldn't get an indication as to how many people would buy pre-sales, thats all.

yea yea people its gonna be a big night with heaps of wicked Dj's and the lights hell yea can't wait i LOVE THE LIGHTS!!!!!!

taking photo's all night !!! lights lights

Did you wear a yellow suit when selling tickets outside bk? or did you go for the old Raver/I just woke up/No wait I just finished work/I don't give a fuck look?

How did everyone find it? who got pressy's? favourite sets?.
