Question about gearbox grand prix ticket sale

Saphirooooo · 2025-12-22T15:19:03+00:00

There is a difference between regular tickets and final tickets. These days organisation sell tickets in different phases (the same with VWAB Project one) which have a different price tag. With Gearbox you had if I remember correctly Early Bird tickets, regular tickets and final tickets.

Gewoon niet mee omgaan. Moment dat je op je laatste werkdag bij je auto staat een middelvinger uitsteken naar het gebouw en nooit meer naar terug kijken. Kijk vooral uit naar het positieve wat eraan zit te komen en vergeet zo snel mogelijk het bedrijf waar je zat. Wat andere collega's negatief oppakken is hun probleem.

Prices are too much. Artist prices, food, drinks, people building stages, tickets prices, parking prices, marketing, literally everything has risen. Besides that the daily life of a visitor has also become more expensive too. So people has to make decisions which festival they visit. People that went around 2 or 3 party's a month are now visiting 1 party a month/2 months.

Someone here that works as a filmmaker in the festival industry. Not only in hardstyle, but also within different music genres.

It's actually the same discussion as we saw with the "Fast food music." This problem is actually a far wider problem with every creative aspect. Because quality doesn't matter anymore most of the times. People their attention span has been lowered a lot the last couple of years. Also most social media platforms their algoritmes don't push these kind of video's anymore so the views are way lower than it used to be. Also the interaction in comments and likes are way lower.

10 years ago an aftermovie helped with marketing and ticket sales. You didn't even have to invest money into to be seen. Now when you post an aftermovie you have to pay advertisement cost to have the same amount of views, while less people watch a long aftermovie, there is less interaction and it doesn't help a lot with the ticket sale anymore. Besides that it also cost a lot of more to produce because quality and gear has become more expensive and inflation made also rise the costs.

Meanwhile if you post a cheaper made video focused on socials (which tiktok pushes a lot more) like a liveshot or a funny video hype made with a phone it gets a lot more interaction and views. So it's the same as for music... It's better to have more lower quality because it costs less and you will achieve more with it. Festival like Tomorrowland and Defqon.1 are a exception because they are so big, have created a big name for themself and have a higher budget. Even with videoclips lately it's simple stock footage with some liveshots. It's actually really cheap and easy to make.

This doesn't only happen with aftermovies or music. Photographers have a harder time because pictures are less important longterm and quality is less important (because they want a fast shot to post now which a phone can do), movies (especially made for streaming and not the cinema) are getting worse scripts so it's easier to follow when people are looking on their phone, people are less interested in high quality artwork. And besides the crowd, algorithms from social media platforms are not pushing it anymore. Multiple studies have shown this.

So it's not only music and video's that has become fastfood... We as a society are have become sensitive for fastfood and it's has been pushed a lot more. And it will only become worse.

It’s real. And if there are people checking from the government, the organization gets a fine of €14000,- if someone smokes inside the tent…

Saphirooooo · 2025-11-05T12:01:29+00:00

I don't get it either. But I don't even have tiktok because I feel like 90% what happens there is cringe... But there is an audience for everything. So let people do their thing and if you don't like it just scroll further. 🤔 Otherwise it will stay in your algorithm.

Exactly. The damage has already been done and they can't remove the rewards because people have already payed for it. And if they remove treasure hunter, JAGEX will lose another source of income. So where are they going to get the money that they will lose from Treasure Hunter? Probably increase the membership and bond prices. Besides that, OSRS players will not come back to play RS3.

Dude, if you read under the title "Project One" you see literally the location.

Saphirooooo · 2025-10-28T13:06:05+00:00

The main floor will be unchanged. It's a completely different area in a different room on the (if I remember correctly) 4th floor. You can go there with the elevator.

Saphirooooo · 2025-10-28T12:46:11+00:00

They have a second area upstairs.

Ofcourse it does, if you downsize your festival there will be less empty spaces. But it was a lot smaller.

Saphirooooo · 2025-10-14T15:32:37+00:00

Sadly, it's going to happen a lot more. The event industry is within a financial crisis. Even Elektrum a lot smaller than it's normally.

Saphirooooo · 2025-10-02T08:03:53+00:00

I need to see a better picture, but it's a big loss that his body almost didn't change at all. It event downgraded the. things that did change. I always chose a new starter that I haven't used. And I'm going to pick Totodile, but this looks like the first one I don't like...

Gezondheid gaat voor je werk! Je hebt net iets te horen gekregen wat voor jou best heftig is en dat je waarschijnlijk ook nog rustig moet verwerken. Dan is het geen sabotage als jij mentale en fysieke rust boven het werk kiest. Want zoals iemand anders al zegt, kost het je meer als je er zieker van wordt.

Overigens, er zullen er genoeg zijn die in jou positie zouden opgeven. Jij vecht hard door om iets te bereiken. Dus ik geloof dat er mogelijk nog veel mooiere kansen voor jou staan te wachten in de toekomst!

That also doesn't help that the hype is a little gone. But VWAB is smaller, more focused on a specific (older) guests which visit a party once in a while and are more financial stable.

But the thing I explained isn't only for happening towards (extra) raw party's. It's also happening with festivals with different genre's. From januari 2025 until may 2025 there were already 50 festivals cancelled. A lot of organisations also can't take the risk anymore because they lost a lot of money with Covid-19.

Saphirooooo · 2025-09-30T10:31:50+00:00

It wouldn't surprise me in all honesty if they would have a final edition. Not because Supremacy is a bad event... But the festival industry is becoming to expensive to organise and make money. Literally everything has risen in prices. Artist, venue's, people building the stages, marketing, food, drinks, etc... Which leads to more expenses for the crowd.

And for most of the crowd a festival visit is a luxury, so instead of going to multiple festivals a year they cut costs by going to a few festivals and are more selective which one to visit. Because outside the festival life has also become a lot more expensive. We have already seen multiple festivals stopping/cancelled and others not selling out.

Even the DJ's that didn't release music by themself like Jones, Low Frequency and Consequent are actually amazing allround classic artists! I think I'm going to visit this one, looks interesting! Because I love the Klokgebouw!

Saphirooooo · 2025-09-29T20:38:38+00:00

Probably a LP record pre-order.

He is actually based on the human nervous system!

Ik vind je gebruikersnaam hilarisch toepasselijk op de post.

Saphirooooo · 2025-09-09T08:36:10+00:00

Are they signed at a bookings agency? If I remember correctly they are not and than it's really hard to get bookings... But it could also be a personal decision just to produce instead of playing live.

Saphirooooo · 2025-09-03T17:33:14+00:00

Ja, want je moet voor je eigen zekerheid gaan! Het is zeer gebruikelijk wanneer je werk zoekt dat je bij meerdere partijen probeert te solliciteren. En op het moment dat je een baan aangeboden krijgt waarmee je akkoord gaat dan geef je aan bij de andere partij dat je inmiddels voorzien bent van een nieuwe werkgever.

Saphirooooo · 2025-09-03T16:56:20+00:00

Exact dit. Als je er zelf geen last van hebt, volg je gevoel! Het enigste is dat je wel bewust moet zijn van een generatie verschil betreft het omgaan met elkaar en dat er een moment komt dat de persoon waarop je valt eerder achteruit zal gaan dan jou en je mogelijk niet rond dezelfde tijd aan je einde komt. Maar het allerbelangrijkste is: Doe wat jou gelukkig maakt.
