i dunno, most other big nights in the uk do it, give the promotor a better understanding of how busy it will be, means people arent so likely to drop out at last minute if they already have a ticket, more publicity by advertising, can also create a bit more hype about a night, people travelling from further afield are guarenteed entry, by buying or ordering tickets in advance, and wont have to queue.
Presumably due to the added expense of printing tickets etc. Also, most people only buy tickets for an event if they think it will sell out, or that they will have to queue for ages. Hopefully in future this will be the case!
yes Karl... anyhows they did advance tickets when jules played two years ago... that was packed, and well hyped up...
its all to do with cost, then u have to get someone to sell them, who they will have to pay or let them add a booking fee ontop, that making tickets more expensive ... so no one will buy them
With a paying guestlist & a paying queue there is no need for an advance ticket queue on a regular basis.
Here here, ive been wholly vacant at promise lately, mainly cause of cash flow, but I couldnt be arsed to buy tickets every week. Maybe for huge events....
Shindig don't even sell tickets on the big nights. I think clubs like it when there's a big queue round the block, when people queue up an hour early - it makes them look good
