GREAT fuckin idea I just had - WesleyC. - 06-11-2011

We should all think about this.
how much do we all spend on tickets to a big show?
It would be awsome if we found out how much a private show cost from the hip.
We all pitch in and come up with a place and figure out how many can go and have our own private show.
We need someone who is an A type person to take charge and make this happen.
Is there any of those so called "A" type people on hipbase?
I mean really how much would you pay for a private show for say 500 or even just 200 people on a farm somewhere?
Im thinkin easy we would all pay a significant amount.
Now thats an idea but Im more of a "C" type personality that wants someone else to do the work and I just help out.

Great idea,,,,,already had.

Re: GREAT fuckin idea I just had - WesleyC. - 06-11-2011

So does anybody know how much a "private show" cost?

Re: GREAT fuckin idea I just had - mojo_mattv - 06-11-2011

As has already been said, this idea comes in cycles. I've seen it three or four times over the years on hipbase. For various reasons it'll never really work unless your uncle is this guy.

Hahahha I never seen this idea posted, :oops: So I guess your saying that I have to win a lottery and hire the band for a show myself and invite my friends, because unless my uncle is rich there is not a snowballs chance in hell of organizing a bunch of hip heads to make it happen. Ok I will keep buying lottery tickets.

We basically have a private show coming up in Peterborough...640 people and only $40ea...close enough I'd say

I feel like I might be the 'A' type that you posted about. This idea appeals to me more than usual right now due to my heartbreak @ missing both the Peterborough + Bobcaygeon shows (Im stuck in Las Vegas playing the world series of Poker.) I would be very interested to learn the costs, does anyone have an educated estimate? Would the hip take less $ if a donation was made to a charity of their choosing?

I went to a 'private' show at the ACC thrown by the Goodlife fitness creator which was pretty cool, but I would be more interested in a more intimate venue like the performance space at Steamwhistle Brewery: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.steamwhistle.ca/events/bookOurEventSpace.php">http://www.steamwhistle.ca/events/bookOurEventSpace.php</a>
